Then, the Vedas would have asked us to worship only one form but with various names.
whereas, each god has a different form, name, functionality [like the various cosmic entities have different purpose].

Shouldn't then mean that the various gods are individuals with different powers, and all of them originated with the powers/will of Brahman? Then why would the upanishad say, 'Sat (That Pure Being) alone existed in the beginning'.

If all are the forms of the same Brahman, then why would the creation from Brahma to Shiva to manus to prajapatis to other living beings, be hierarchical?
Hello Govinda,
Your question is right.Vedhas talked about worshiping Brahmam only. To explain Brahmam Vedhas gave different names to the only Brahmam.It is our understanding and Interpretations that we(subsequent Rishis,Scholars) gave different names.As I said earlier further Evolution of Puranas made this gap wider.I give another example in a political situation.One party was initially formed for certain cause. On further development it formed multiples and each party claims they are the Original.Brahmam is One and Original and subsequent developemets called it with various names. As our friends in this Thread have said,Rose is a Rose call it any name.
