		Hinduism has often been confused to be polytheistic as many of Hinduism's adherents are monists, and view multiple manifestations of the one God or source of being.
		The Uttara ("later") Mimamsa school is perhaps one of the cornerstone movements of Hinduism and certainly was responsible for a new wave of philosophical and meditative inquiry, renewal of faith, and cultural reform.
		Thus, Hindu image worship is a form of iconolatry, in which the symbols are venerated as putative signs of divinity, as opposed to idolatry, a charge often levied (erroneously) at Hindus.

		In general, Hindu views are broad and range from monism, dualism, pantheism, panentheism, alternatively called monistic theism by some scholars, and strict monotheism, but are not polytheistic as outsiders perceive the religion to be.
		Some sects of Hinduism believe in a monotheistic ideal of Vishnu (often as Krishna), Siva, or Devi; this view does not exclude other gods, as they are understood to be aspects of the chosen ideal (e.g., to many devotees of Krishna, Shiva is seen as having sprung from Krishna's creative force).

		According as the deity that is worshipped is Visnu or Siva or Sakti, the Agamas are divided into three classes, which have given rise to the three main branches of Hinduism, namely, Vaishnavism, Saivism and Saktism.

	Hinduism Today \| Mar 1995
		The Vedas and Agamas, revealed by God, are Hinduism's sovereign scriptures, called shruti, "that which is heard." Their timeless truths are expressed in the most extraordinarily profound mystical poetry known to man. Aum.
		Veda, from vid, "to know," means "supreme wisdom or science." Similarly, Agama, which names the sacred sectarian revelations, means "descent of knowledge." The Vedas and Agamas are eternal truths transmitted by God through great clairaudient and clairvoyant rishis.
		The Agamas, Sanatana Dharma's second authority, are revelations on sacred living, worship, yoga and philosophy.
