330 million hindu gods ??

OUR religion is often called as religion of 300 million gods which we know is wrong but this misunderstanding arises from the fact that people in india believed that there is a god in every human being and in ancient times people believed that there are 330 million people living so the number arrived from here (now we have 1 billion )

geeta clearly says that we have only one god but why then we worship so many different god
well every hindu god we worship is a fraction of the all mighty for ex saraswati denotes knowledge part of all mighty ,indhra denotes the rain part of ultimate god

and it doesnt matter which god you worship as mentioned in geeta "no matter in which form you worship me all the path will lead to me "(i cant recall the exact word )

another point is that we dont consider the god supreme as by different religion we consider him a mean through which we attain salvation
