Devotee: It is useful to have different gods with different characteristics to suit varieties of people. Why force one God upon the people. It is like giving one coat and asking everyone to fit into it kindly...

Prabhupāda: Yes, that is answered in the Bhagavad-gītā:

<div class="quote_verse">
:kāmais tais tair hṛta-jñānāḥ
:prapadyante 'nya-devatāḥ 
:([[Vanisource:BG 7.20|BG 7.20]])
</div>

:antavat tu phalaṁ teṣāṁ

<div class="quote_verse">
:tad bhavaty alpa-medhasām 
:([[Vanisource:BG 7.23|BG 7.23]])
</div>

To worship different demigods, that is not forbidden in the Vedic literature. But Kṛṣṇa personally says, that, tad bhavaty alpa-medhasām. Those who are less intelligent, they are allowed, at least let them accept some authority. That is for, alpa-medhasām, less intelligent class of men, that's all. But when Kṛṣṇa is advising, why you should keep others less intelligent? He, he is personally advising, sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁśaraṇaṁ ([[Vanisource:BG 18.66|BG 18.66]]), you will get everything, you will get everything. But the less intelligent class of men they cannot understand it. Therefore, they go to demigods. Kāmais tais tair hṛta-jñānāḥ prapadyante 'nya.. hṛta-jñānāḥ! ([[Vanisource:BG 7.20|BG 7.20]]) And their intelligence is lost. If you can get something from some demigod, can you not get it from Kṛṣṇa? The supreme God. You can get it, that is advised in the śastra:

<div class="quote_verse">
:akāmaḥ sarva-kāmo vā mokṣa-kāma udāradhīḥ
:tīvreṇa bhakti-yogena yajeta paramam puruṣa 
:([[Vanisource:SB 2.3.10|SB 2.3.10]])
</div>

Even if you are, sarva-kāmaḥ, you have got so many desires, material. Still, you should worship Kṛṣṇa because one day you will come to Kṛṣṇa consciousness. By directly being attracted by Kṛṣṇa, just like Dhruva Mahārāja. Dhruva Mahārāja he went to perform severe penances, austerities to get some land. Wanted his father's property or better than that. But when he saw Kṛṣṇa, Nārāyaṇa and Nārāyaṇa wanted to give him benediction. Whatever he liked. He said, svāmin kṛtārtho 'smi varaṁ na yāce ([[Vanisource:CC Madhya 22.42|CC Madhya 22.42]]). So if you are desirous of something which you want to take from another demigod. You can ask it from Kṛṣṇa. The benefit will be, you will see Kṛṣṇa and that you will be desire less. No more desires for material things. That will be your profit. But if you continue to get some temporary benefit of this material world. So you will get it but, antavat tu phalaṁ teṣāṁ, with the end of your body everything is finished, tad bhavaty alpa-medhasām. So this kind of worship is preferred by less intelligent class.
