From the Vedic perspective, all mythological Gods are myths propagated by orthodoxy.+

Just covering the truth with blind faith or belief doesn't mean the truth gets covered up. Myth can’t stick to the truth.

The truth is the ultimate. forget any jingoistic attitudes while being a seeker of the truth.

Avoid all discussions based on the Self as ‘you’ and focus precisely on the facts based on the Self, which is the Athma, the God in truth hidden by the illusory universe or Maya.

Just seek the truth. It is universal. It is permanent. It is unalterable. It cannot change because it is uncontradictable.

You are leaping from one wild conclusion to another without realizing the Self is not you but the Soul.

Athma, the God in truth does not belong to any religion.

Realize God you believe and worship is not Vedic God, which is Athma, the Self. Athma is present in the form of consciousness. Consciousness is God in truth is the cause of the illusory universe in which you exist.     

All the mythological stories have nothing to do with Vedas.  There is no mention of these mythological Gods in the Vedas.

It is very much necessary to know ‘what God is supposed to be according to the Vedas.  It is erroneous to believe something else as God when there is a clear-cut idea of what God is supposed to be in the Vedas.

Personal Gods never existed in the Vedic era. The belief system claims that their religious God existed in human form is merely ideas based on blind faith or belief.   The entire mythological figure at the center is simply a fictional character.  Mythological   Gods are mythical characters with nothing to do with the Vedic God, which is Athma.

Advocates of the mythological Gods have been around for centuries, propagating the mythological Gods as real Gods whereas in sacred Vedas there is no other God other than Athma.   From the Vedic perspective, all mythological Gods are myths propagated by orthodoxy.  

Religion propagated and led the populace to strongly believe that the mycological actually existed. The religion's fictional character is made up to give followers of the religion founded in the name of mythological Gods and Goddesses as icons worthy of their worship.

There is no mention of the mythological Gods in the Vedas.  All these mythological Gods are not Vedic Gods.  Propagating mythological Gods as Vedic Gods is purely adulteration. 

Remember:~ 

In Vedas, God has been described as:~

People are being conditioned by the religious myth which has made them a non-thinker. People need to come out of the religious myth by realizing God in truth.

Rig Veda: ~ 'Prajnanam Brahma': - Consciousness is the ultimate reality or Brahman or God in truth.

God in truth is the Atman, the Self. Atman is present in the form of consciousness.

Do not accept any other God other than Atman not worship other than Atman, which is ever nondual.

Let these words be inscribed in your subconscious.

Nothing is real but God. Nothing Matters but love for God in truth. God in truth is everywhere and in everything.

God in truth is hidden by the illusory universe. God in truth alone is and all else is an illusion.

Yajurveda – chapter- 32:~God is Supreme Spirit has no ‘Pratima’ (idol) or material shape. He cannot be seen directly by anyone. He pervades all beings and all directions.

Thus, Idolatry does not find any support from the Vedas.

Rig Veda: ~ The Atman (Soul or Spirit) is the cause; Atman is the support of all that exists in this universe. May ye never turn away from the Atman, the ‘Self’. May ye never accept another God in place of the Atman nor worship other than the Atman?" (10:48, 5)

The Vedas as a body of scripture contain many contradictions and they are fragmentary in nature. For Hindus, scriptures like the Bhagavad Gita, Ramayana, Mahabharata, and Puranas are more attractive and appealing than the Vedas.

Also, the Gods and Goddesses they worship differ considerably from the Vedic ones. The collection of hymns called Vedas written in praise of certain deities by poets over several centuries does not seem to have much significance for the Hindus.

Prohibition of idol worship in Yajurveda: ~

Yajur Veda says:~

Translation 1

They enter darkness, those who worship natural things (for example air, water, sun, moon, animals, fire, stone, etc).

They sink deeper in darkness those who worship sambhuti. (Sambhuti means created things, for example, table, chair, idol, etc.) (Yajurveda 40:9)

Translation 2

"Deep into the shade of blinding gloom fall asambhuti's worshippers. They sink to darkness deeper yet who on sambhuti are intent." (Yajurveda Samhita by Ralph T. H. Griffith pg. 538)

Translation 3.

"They are enveloped in darkness, in other words, are steeped in ignorance and sunk in the greatest depths of misery who worship the uncreated, eternal prakrti -- the material cause of the world -- in place of the All-pervading God, But those who worship visible things born of the prakrti, such as the earth, trees, bodies (human and the like) in place of God are enveloped in still greater darkness, in other words, they are extremely foolish, fall into an awful hell of pain and sorrow, and suffer terribly for a long time." (Yajur Veda 40:9.)

So, Yajur Veda indicates that:~ Those who worship created things or visible things such as the idols of earth, trees, and bodies (humans and the like) in place of God are enveloped in ignorance are extremely foolish, fall into an awful hell of pain and sorrow, and suffer terribly for a long time.

Why worship and glorify the non-Vedic Gods in place of Vedic Gods when Veda bars such activities.

Vedic God is Atman God is the cause of the illusory universe. The illusory universe ceases to exist as a reality when Advaitic wisdom dawns.

Thus, the Gods and Gurus have no place in the domain of the Advaitic reality. Advaita is the non-dual nature of the Atman, which is God in truth. Thus, Self-realization is the only way to God-realization.

By worshipping the religious Gods and Gurus one will not get Self-realization or God-realization.

The Atman, the inner Guru reveals ‘what is real’ and ‘what is unreal” when the seeker is receptive and ready. Vedas,:~Santthosh Kumaar
