Sanatan Dharma (Hinduism) is a monotheistic religion. Stop believing the Sadhus who have lied to you till now
Here's another reference to the unity of the Vedic trinity. Any person following the vedic traditions would tell you that Rudra (रूद्र)is the name of the 'Hindu' Lord of destruction, more commonly known as Shiva (शिव). Now what is this name doing in the Vishnusahasranamastotram? Well, that's one way of pointing to existence of SINGLE GOD concept of MONOTHEISM present deep in the vedic religion. Hinduism is often the point of laughter among the Western as well as Arabic faiths because of the presence of a quarter to billion Gods and goddesses. They often ask, how lamer can it get?
Well, the modern hindu doesn't know the meaning of his/her own religion. Vedic religion promotes the belief of a single God and did it much before the story of Jesus or Prophet were even narrated. I am not trying to prove any supremacy here, but trying to put this point forth, that the real Hinduism is in fact a MONOTHEISTIC religion.
Rudra literally means the One who destroys pain and brings tears to eyes.
Most of the Sadhu Maharajas in contemporary India claim that Hinduism is Polytheistic and existence of millions of Gods is feasible and valid, but the fact is such claims are being made by people who are not qualified to comment on it.
There is no special group of people who are the keepers of this ancient faith and they should quit promoting wrong ideas. I am Hari, just a 22 year old trying to decode the real meanings of our ancient texts.

Coming back to the point, how can one call Hinduism a monotheistic religion??? It is such a controversial topic in itself. But I would like to drag your attention towards this post http://www.reflectionsofindia.com/2011/01/vedic-reflections-shri_25.html.
Lot of mysteries of the universe have been encoded in the form of narratives and proses in Vedic texts and epics. Like Dan Brown has said in his novel, THE LOST SYMBOL, every religious book is in fact a masquerade. They tell about miraculous stories of Jesus and Krishna, but the wise know the real intention behind these works. These stories and proses are to be taken metaphorically, not literally.
It's time to uncover such broadminded but simplistic interpretations of our epics and religious books. Scientific truths shall unfold and one such truth might be monotheism of Hinduism. Analogy of Krishna and the Great Energy.
