Difference between Gods, Goddesses, and Almighty in Sanatan Dharma

Some people scoff that there are 33 crore Gods and Goddesses in Hindu Dharma (they mean Sanatan Dharma).

In the phrase '33 koti Devi Devatas or 33 crore Gods and Goddesses,' 'koti' or 'crore' refers to prominence. It is another way of saying that there are 33 prominent Devi Devatas or Gods and Goddesses in Sanatan Dharma. They are the 8 Vasus, 12 Adityas, 11 Rudras, and 2 Ashwini Kumars.

Almighty or Bhagwan is the one who creates, preserves, and annihilates everything, even the 'Panch Tattvas' or 5 elements, i.e., Land, Sky, Wind, Fire, and Water.

In Sanatan Dharma, the Almighty is the formless Supreme energy referred to as Bhagwati AdiShakti Bhagwan SadaShiv. AdiShakti and SadaShiv are one, and so is when the Almighty manifests as Tridevs and Tridevis, i.e., Bhagwati Saraswati Bhagwan Brahma is one, Bhagwati Lakshmi Bhagwan Narayan is one, and Bhagwati Parvati Bhagwan Shiv is one. Bhagwati is the inseparable core of Bhagwan.
