a lady from Bhutan ( or Nepal ?? ) told me once that they believe 3 dieties protect their country . Later i asked a Bangladeshi hindu if they believe in 3 or 1 God . He said 3 gods.
yes , u r right. hinduism is complex. they believe in Trinity. 1 god created everything, 1 god is sustainer , other god is responsible for death.
i heard of Zakir NAIK. Hindus books tell them to worship 1 God only.

Concept of God
Hinduism is sometimes considered to be a polytheistic religion, but such a view tends to oversimplify a diverse system of thought with beliefs spanning monotheism, polytheism,[11] pantheism, monism and even atheism. For instance, the Advaita Vedanta school holds that there is only one causal entity (Brahman), which manifests itself to humans in multiple forms[12] while many scholars consider the Samkhya school of thought to have had atheistic leanings. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hinduism

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
I took a world religion course in college, from what I remember, my professor said they have millions of deities. But these deities come from one deity, I think its name is Brahma or something.and each deity is a reincarnation of one another.
Recently I tried to give two Hindu Dawah and they kept saying "yes, yes, Hindu and Muslims are the same...". The concept of Tauhid or Oneness of Allah just flies right over their head.
The Thought of One god may be achieved in specific
But as per the hinduism concept there are three main gods who take care of major tasks they are
1. Brahma - the Creator
2. Vishnu - The protector
3. Siva - The Destroyer
and these three are the source for all the other gods who are exsting. the total number crosses including all small and big gods in Hinduism is approximately 33,000,000
I studied this in College, there is one main God called Brahman-The Absolute.
The other 3 gods (Brahma-The Creator, Vishnu-The Protector, Shiva-The Sustainer) make up the Ultimate God (Brahman). It is kind of like the concept of Trinity, but a bit complicated....
Dr. Zakir Naik talks about the prophecy of Muhammad (pbuh) in the Hindu scriptures.
Why is that good! The fact that he is prophesized in the Hindu (pagan) scriptures only lead me to refer to the Torah which says false prophets and false gods will perform miracles to tempt you. Why on earth is being mentioned in the Pagan scriptures a good thing?

Prophet Moses did many miracles, infact that's one of the reasons how the children of Isra'eel escaped from Egypt, because Moses hit his staff to the river Nile. So it's not shocking if the other prophets of Allaah perform miracles either.

Yes, but I am not speaking about Moses miracles. I am speaking of the miracles and prophecies of a book which supports worshiping many "gods" like "krishna".
Miracles performed by messangers that preach the eternal observance of Torah are of course prophets.
do you really think it makes any sense to go to a muslim source to learn about hinduism?
Dr. Zakir studied comparitive religion. He did that debate with a Hindu religious leader. In India , his audiences are mainly hindus. when Zakir quoted from their holy scriptures , they could not protest .
If possible , try to watch his debates (at least 1 ) ; if not the whole lecture only Q & A parts , very interesting & informative.
I enjoyed his following debates.
1 with Dr. Campbell about Bible & Quran ; another was about veg food ; his lectures on similarities between Hinduism & Islam , concept of God in major religions are very informative.
