I have undertaken further research concerning this weeks discussion based on the Indian Gods. If anyone is interested in knowing who they are I have listed them below.
In total there are 9 Indian Gods:
1. gods for vegetation.
2. gods for weather.
3. gods for nature.
4. gods for geographical
areas.
5. gods for villages.
6. gods for the house.
7. gods in the temples.
8. gods in running water
9. gods in deepest forest and in icy mountain heights
A table of the Gods and Goddesses in India is listed below.

Uh guy, I hate to be the one to net-slap you but...I noticed a few indescrepancies.
Firstly, it has always been my experience that Garuda was the name of a Japanese demon, one of the greater Oni of Yama.
Which leads me to my next point.
Yama is the realm in which the Yokai are said to live.
You mentioned Yama was Indian when it is written in the Yagiryu Seitei scripture that Yama is japanese in origin.
I might be wrong and the Indian denotation of Yama and even Garuda may be correct.
Further more, please cite your sources!! And CLARIFY MAN!!...Those names are pretty much useless without something to cross-refference them with...
thanks nick for the info.
Lyn.
