What do some deities tell Sanatanis (Hindus) about God?
Northumberland Agreed Syllabus - Unit L2.7 What do Hindus believe God is like?
What does Sanatanis believe about Brahman? That Brahman can appear in many different ways but is always the one supreme being. He is present in the Trimurti and all other deities.
Who do Sanatanis believe Shiva and Parvati to be?
They are believed to be parents to Ganesha. Due to him not realising Ganesha was his son, Shiva cut off his head so replaced it with the head of the nearest sleeping animal which was an elephant. He also granted Ganesha great wisdom and a power to remove any obstacles that come in the way of all people who truly worship him.
Who do Sanatanis believe Lakshmii to be? Lakshmi is the goddess of wealth and good fortune. She is also the wife of Vishnu.

Hot-seating as Guy Fawkes
Who was Guy Fawkes?
Guy Fawkes was one of the 13 Catholic conspirators involved in the Gunpowder Plot.
What was the gunpowder plot?
This was a plot to blow up the Houses of Parliament in 1605.
His target was King James I and his government. The reason for Guy Fawkes’ Gunpowder Plot was that, with King James I on the throne.
England was a Protestant country but Guy Fawkes and the plotters were Catholic.
They thought killing King James I would return England to the Catholic faith. He went to war in Spain and was called Guido
Why do we remember, remember the 5th of November? The plan didn’t work! One of the group of plotters had written a letter to his brother-in-law warning him to stay away from the Houses of Parliament on the 5th of November. One of the King’s supporters discovered this letter and the King’s guards broke into the cellars where Guy Fawkes and the plotters were hiding. Guy Fawkes and the plotters were arrested, tortured and executed for treason.
