-'''Ishvara''' is a Sanskrit word meaning “Lord of the universe” or “Lord.” In Hinduism, Ishvara is seen as the “immediate personal aspect of the supreme impersonal Godhead.”<ref>R. S. Nathan, comp., ''Symbolism in Hinduism'' (Bombay: Central Chinmaya Mission Trust, 1983), p. 13.</ref> We cannot know God unless we know him personified, and God personifies himself in extensions of himself to whom he gives spiritual and physical form. In reality, there is only one God, but the one God appears to us in his many manifestations. Thus, the many gods in Hinduism are simply rays of light from the one central Source.
+'''Ishvara''' er sanskrítarorð sem þýðir „Drottinn alheimsins“ eða „Drottinn“. Í hindúasið er litið á Ishvara sem „náinn persónulegan þátt hins æðsta ópersónulega guðdóms.“<ref>R. S. Nathan, samþ., ''symbolism in Hinduism'' (Bombay: Central Chinmaya Mission Trust, 1983), bls. 13.</ref> Við getum ekki þekkt Guð nema við þekkjum hann persónugerðan, og Guð persónugerir sjálfan sig í framlengingu sjálfs síns sem hann gefur andlega og líkamlega mynd. Í raun og veru er bara einn Guð, en sá Guð birtist okkur í mörgum birtingarmyndum sínum. Þannig eru hinir mörgu guðir í hindúasið einfaldlega ljósgeislar frá hinni einu miðlægu uppsprettu.
 The ''Encyclopedia of Eastern Philosophy and Religion'' explains that “the God of Christianity and of Islam, as well as all the deities of Hindu mythology, are aspects of Ishvara. Our human reason can conceive of divinity only within some form; thus, we need the concept of Ishvara.... The most widely disseminated form of Ishvara in Hindu thought is the trimurti, the Trinity of [[Brahma]], [[Vishnu]], and [[Shiva]].”<ref>''Encyclopedia of Eastern Philosophy and Religion'' (Boston: Shambhala, 1994), s.v. “Ishvara.”</ref>
