Devendra

Devendra is the most worshipped deity in the plane. Believers are referred to as Devendrali in their home universe, henceforth elsewhere as well. Devendra is omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient like the deities of many civilizations. The tenets and dogma of the Devendral faith are extraordinarily complementary to the instruments of evolution. It couches espousal of the optimal survival rate of life forms in precepts and maxims. The ancient texts which have proven a commonly integral component of a successful religion are multimedia, allowing believers with varying learning preferences to access the so-called wisdom of the ages. The doctrinal secrets are still rather cloaked in contradictory teachings and dubious historical context, but these mysteries can be experienced by reading the text, watching films, listening to musical interpretations of various genres, perfecting series of martial arts movements akin to non-homocentric tai chi, scanning enormous murals (also of various genres depending on the believer's taste), or even by tasting and smelling the sacred foods of the Devendrali. Believers find truth in Devendra even if they are nearly incapable of anything else.

Origins
Self-professed true believers study the origins of the Devendral faith in order to gain a deeper understanding of their faith through comparative religion or theology. Unfortunately the origins of Devendra are so ancient that they too, like the tenets of the faith itself, are shrouded in mystery.

Pop religion
Due to the multifarious civilizations which have adopted Devendra as their god, many of the more well-educated Devendrali have an interesting perspective on their religion. These Devendrali understand the necessary role that religion plays in many civilizations and in the individual lives of many citizens. Consequently the Devendral faith has become more of a meta-religion, appearing in tenet and dogma to be aware of its existence, tailoring itself to fill the role of religion as well as any could. It is infectious to other religions, infiltrating and overtaking them seemingly effortlessly. Many Devendrali have formed derivative sects and cults, only to have them reabsorbed by the Devendrali within a relatively short period of time.
