Talk:Hindu Deity Physiology/@comment-5291480-20120714184629

I really don't want to start being annoying, I only want to be helpful. Varuna actually is the god of the sky and celestial ocean. So shouldn't he have say: Cosmic manipulation or Sky manipulation. He also can control lightning, and rules over "Rasa" celestial sea, which btw represents the dark side of the sun. He is also sometimes depicted as an omniscient deity. He can also grant boons like immortality.

And serioulsy, "Maya" isn't a deity. It represents the world that we live in, which is an illusion. In hinduism they believe that they actually are a mere illusion compared to the supreme reality Brahman (not Brahma). So "maya" is a form of projection not a god.
