The illiterate Village devotees have the blind faith or Mooda Bhakthi to their village Deities. We see similar faiths and practices in many communities around the world in all cultures. This is quite acceptable to most of them as they are able to comprehend within their capacity of understanding and they are quite satisfied. They believe that their God, though all powerful, lives in a distant Heaven. He may send a messenger or come to reside in specific places on this earth. Many village and tribal festivals are seen in this where animal sacrifices are given to appease the anger of a furious God. They see the Divine in one dimension with a single point of devotion. This becomes the earliest concept of a God of Fury or the God of Fear.

Now with education, they question their own thoughts as they do not want to believe that any harm will come to them, from any such unseen forces. This is what can be called the fourth dimension or the first Spiritual dimension of understanding God. They were told to believe that God is in a distant world and will send Its power through furious messengers to attack them if they do not pray. This keeps the group and community live strictly following the traditions and the words of their priests with the fear.

This develops into the Tãmasika form of Bhaya Bhakthi of a faith with fear. Now they believe that their God of fury will calm down with their prayers and offerings, and they will be able to appease this God who will be merciful. For them, God may be in a far away distant space but also resides in the figures they pray. God may have multiple personality or forms to come to reside in some specific places of worship and He can contact every one of them. They will go on a pilgrimage there for prayers to receive their individual boons and rewards. They go to various Temples and places of pilgrimage with the belief that God, as a male or female, resides in those places. Some see God in the natural forces like Sun and wind and offer their prayers to these forces.

Each tribe or community may adhere to one form and tradition and one place of worship for their chosen form of Deity. Most of them still go to worship at other places so as not to invoke the anger of another. Most of them are quite pious and faithful, and do great service to the community, with the belief that such service to the poor and needy is a service to please their God. This is the basic form of belief in God for the illiterate men from the most ancient times. The Tãmasika's Bhaya-Bhakthi, a way of simple prayer worship in Temples, is quite satisfying for the simple, illiterate and ignorant devotees who do not read or learn the complex types of philosophies or prayer rituals, but still follow a tradition of their own.
