Names of GOD are different in Hinduism

                          Names of GOD are different in Hinduism
Once Akbar and Birbal are seen talking to each other. Then Akbar had a doubt. He wanted to clarify it. He asked Birbal " We , muslims pray to only one God. Similarly , Buddhism also. But you Hindus worship many Gods, eventhough God is one for all. How will you explain this? ". Birbal listened to this and called a servant.
Servant came. He was wearing a turban since he is a royal servant. Birbal asked him to remove his turban. Similarly he did. Then Birbal asked servant to use it as towel. After that one, Birbal asked servant to use it as bed sheet while sleeping. Servant could do all those.
Showing that to Akbar, Birbal said " Though the cloth is same, when it wore on head it is called as turban. When it is used for cleaning purpose , it is called towel. When it is used while sleeping, it is called bedsheet. But cloth is same. It didnt change its originality . Similarly, we Hindus though we call God by different names, God is same for all. We according to situation, call by different names and offer prayers."
Listening to this, Akbar's doubt got cleared.
