At later periods, several other great community leaders also were recognized as "God Siva" in various areas. Similarly many other scholars have shown "proofs" that many of the manifestations worshipped as Deities actually represents superhuman personalities in different places and times. They were worshipped as manifestations of God, who came to protect the community. Rama was here about 5000 years ago and Krishna manifested about 4000 to 4500 years back. All the ten great incarnations of Vishnu, several manifestations of Siva and various Deities described in the Hindu Puranas [Mythology] as God manifesting Himself, may be persons who actually lived in our land. There are many people who believe that "God Siva" manifested Himself as the great Hindu Saint Adi Sankara, and gave us the Advaita Philosophy. Somehow ancient Hindu scholars, while writing detailed accounts of all their teachings, never gave any description of historical or chronological details of the time and date or the names of the Seers and Rishis who wrote these philosophical teachings.

When God, as established and described by the Religious teachings as Omnipotent and Omnipresent, are often not conceivable or comprehensible for ordinary people, many religions enforced the thoughts with a dogma and an unquestionable blind faith. Hinduism gave the faith with a philosophy and the formless God in a neuter gender. It also gave various forms to It, both as male and female, for daily practice of the faith. Whereas the Vedas deal with the religious practice as recitations, rituals and philosophical study of the Divine Truth, Agamas that describe Temple worship, helps ordinary people to pray to "God" in the form they want and to serve their need. The Divine incarnations serve such a role to teach proper faith and belief to all men at every age. The greatness of Hindu religion lies in its ability to make ordinary people with different levels of understanding to comprehend the faith and practice it at different levels of devotion without departing away from the core of the faith and its principles.
