Well, yes, but personally I never interpreted them as gods,
more as people-like beings, perhaps with, perhaps without a
body.
As for kundalini, that is obviously a force that has also a
form of consciousness. If that is your deffinition of a
god, I agree, than I do think there are gods. Personally I
tend to focuss more on the force+consciousness part of
them, (which I find very puzzling, by the way) and do not
tend to call them gods, for some reason. But I do
understand now why you do call them Gods.
I think of the Pitris for example as beings who set things
in motion and sometimes *plant seeds* for change, if we are
collectively ready for new information. If that is what a
god does, I'll call it god, but it is certainly not the
pitris (except as far as we are pitris incarnate) that are
responsible for our trouble.
