Marblehead Posted July 11, 2013 (edited) Well, if I ever feel the need to have a deity I am sure it will be Apathea. She doesn't care if anyone worships her or not. Edited July 11, 2013 by Marblehead Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think Ganesha is particularly popular in Japan. I thought I read that somewhere. In Tibetan Buddhism Hayagriva takes on a wrathful character instead of his avatar of Vishnu.
