And in India, this is not a problem; it is not a problem—the multiplicity, the number of the Elohim, which in that land are called Deva.
Now, more things here: when you were mentioning other traditions, and you're mentioning polytheism probably—and that's again, I express my ignorance in all these matters—when in India, for instance, I suppose they don't have a problem with the Devas or these many gods.
From that time We can find the history of those beings all around the world what is changing is the name in Semitic in Western Semitic, it was "Elohim" in Eastern Semitic was ilu / ilanu pre-Semitic the name was Anunna in India the name is Deva in the Americas, your father can tell more I Virachochas and so on And in Egypt they were the Neteru Ah the Neteru in Egypt, exactly in the north of Europe the AEsir but these are very ancient accounts these are much more ancient than than the time of Moses, which I think you said was what 1200 BC?
We are told that Deva-Nahusha visited his colonies in Farther India.
The strongest connection, however, with the Atlantean system is shown in the case of the Hindoo god Deva-Nahusha.
In the Sanscrit books we find reference to a god called Deva-Nahusha, who has been identified by scholars with Dionysos.
"The warmest colors of imagination are used in portraying the greatness of Deva-Nahusha.
Here we see that the great god Indra, chief god of the Hindoos, was formerly king of Meru, and that Deva-Nahusha (De(va)nushas--De-onyshas) had also been king of Meru; and we must remember that Theopompus tell us that the island of Atlantis was inhabited by the "Meropes;" and Lenormant as reached the conclusion that the first people of the ancient world were "the men of Mero."
This surprising discovery brings the Chinese civilization still nearer to the Mediterranean head-quarters of the races, and increases the probability that the arts of China were of Atlantean origin; and that the name of Nai Hoang-ti, or Nai Korti, the founder of Chinese civilization, may be a reminiscence of Nakhunta, the chief of the gods, as recorded in the Susian texts, and this, in turn, a recollection of the Deva-Nahusha of the Hindoos, the Dionysos of the Greeks, the king of Atlantis, whose great empire reached to the "farther parts of India," and embraced, according to Plato, "parts of the continent of America."
This is the universal empire over which, the Hindoo books tell us, Deva Nahusha was ruler; this was "the great and aggressive empire" to which Plato alludes; this was the mighty kingdom, embracing the whole of the then known world, from which the Greeks obtained their conception of the universal father of all men in King Zeus.
The Hindoo god Deva-Nahusha, identified with Dionysos, was a king of Meru, which Theopompus described as the land of the Meropes, or the people of Atlantis.
The legends of kings like Deva-Nahusha and the mythological connections suggest that the Aryan migration was part of a broader dispersion of Atlantean culture.
He may enter the splendid Angel — Deva — Evolution.
We have not been taught to worship the great Star-Angels, or to set before ourselves as a goal the possibility of joining the Deva evolution at a comparatively early stage; but we should always remember that there are other lines of Occultism besides that particular form of it to which Theosophy has introduced us, and that we know but little yet even of our own line.
In Hinduism, "Deva" (often spelled as "Devas") are divine beings or deities.
Some well-known Devas include Brahma (the creator), Vishnu (the preserver), Shiva (the destroyer), and many others.
Here are some of the most well-known Devas in Hinduism:
Deva (India)
He links Elohim to similar entities in other cultures, such as ilu/ilanu in Mesopotamia, Deva in India, Neteru in Egypt, and AEsir in northern Europe, suggesting they were advanced humans who survived ancient cataclysms like the flood.
