Which Hindu God Are You?

Krishna is considered to be one of the most important gods ever in Hindu mythology, namely because of his hand in creating the Bhagavad Gita, the most widely read Hindu text of all time. You're a natural leader who enjoys organizing big groups of people. You are responsible, hardworking, and trustworthy.

Ganesha has become almost a pop icon in the last five years. Also known as Ganapati and Vinayaka, is one of the best-known and most worshipped deities in the Hindu pantheon. Ganesha is widely revered as the remover of obstacles, the patron of arts and sciences, and the deva of intellect and wisdom. You are dedicated, passionate, and driven, and everyone who knows you agrees that you will make something big of yourself one day.

Hanuman is one of the most popular deities and is a symbol of strength, devotion, loyalty, and perseverance. Several later texts also present him as an incarnation of Shiva. You believe that struggle is character-building, and rather than trying to avoid a problematic situation, you seek the comfort that comes from getting to the other side unharmed.

Of all the Hindu gods, Rama is one of the few considered to be an actual historical figure, quite possibly a famous king. According to myth, however, Rama is the incarnation of Vishnu, the god of preservation or life in the Hindu Trinity. Your instinct is to help people, and life constantly puts you in the right time and place to do just that.

Known as the destroyer, Shiva is easily the most powerful Hindu god. Shiva represents the immortal quality of death and dissolution in the universe, and is part of the Hindu Trinity (Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva). You are a natural-born leader. No one messes with you, not if they know what's good for them. You're dramatic, even scary at times.
