According to Hindu philosophies, Lord Ganesha is the first and foremost of all the deities. His worship is a must before starting or beginning of anything or any affairs. Even though all the Veda, Puranas and Agamas speak about Lord Ganesha, Atharva Veda speaks more about Lord Ganesha. The part of Atharva Veda that tells or speaks is known as Ganapathy Atharvaseersham. In Hindu Temple of Ohio, Lord Ganesha’s image according to the specifications of Atharva Veda is being installed as per the divine instructions of Swamiji Sri. Selvam Siddhar.

Lord Shiva is a major Hindu deity, and one aspect of Trimurti. Followers of Hinduism who focus their worship upon Shiva are called Shaivites or Shaivas. Shiva is usually worshipped in the abstract form of Shiva lingam. In the Yajurveda, two contrary sets of attributes for either malignant or terrific and benign or auspicious forms can be found. The malignant shape of Lord Shiva is known as “Rudra” and the benign form is called as “Shiva”. But the Shiva Lingam is common to both. In the Mahabharata, Shiva is depicted as "the standard of invincibility, might, and terror", as well as a figure of honor, delight, and brilliance. The name Rudra reflects his fearsome aspects. The Sanskrit name Rudra is derived from the root rud-, which means "to cry, howl” (The Sanskrit verse is Rudannu Ravayatha ithi Rudra). In contrast, the name Saṇkara ("beneficent" or "conferring happiness") reflects his benign form. This name was adopted by the great Vedanta philosopher Saṇkara, who is also known as Shankaracharya. Hindu Temple of Ohio is the only Hindu Temple in the Midwest to have the biggest Shiva Lingam. This is installed in the Temple by Swamiji Sri. Selvam Siddhar for the betterment of the entire human race.

In Hindu denominations, Lords Brahma, Mahavishnu, and Shiva represent the three primary aspects of the divine in Hinduism and are collectively known as the Trimurti. Their consorts Saraswathi, Lakshmi and Parvathi are considered as the three major powers, Shakthi. In this school of religious thought, Brahma is the creator and Saraswathi is his consort. This couple is meant for the productivity and knowledge. Vishnu is the maintainer or preserver and Mahalaksmi is his consort. This couple is meant for all the wordly pleasures like wealth. Shiva is the destroyer or transformer and his consort is Parvathy or Shakthi. This couple is meant for the destruction for a new construction. Out of these three Shakthis, only Parvathy has taken various shapes like Durga, Kali and so on etc. One of her fearsome pose is Vana Durga. As an Atharva Veda scholar, Swamiji Sri Siddhar explains the specialties of Vana Durga as follows. The word Shakti means divine feminine force, and Durga is the warrior aspect of the Divine Mother. Durga's form is blindingly bright, as a radiant goddess (Devi), with three lotus-like eyes, four to eighteen powerful hands, lush hair with beautiful curls, a red-golden glow from her skin and a crescent of moon on her forehead. She wears shiny attire emitting fierce rays. Her jewellery is beautifully made of gold with pearls and precious stones embedded in it. As a goddess, Durga's feminine power contains the energies of the gods. Each of her weapons was gifted to her by various gods: Rudra's trident, Vishnu's discus, Indra's thunderbolt, Brahma's kamandalu, etc. Even in India, there are only a few temples for Vana Durga. That too there is no temple for her in the entire western countries. As an Atharva Vedic scholar and the only living Siddhar of the entire western countries Swamiji Sri.
