Religion and Culture

Question: Namaste, I am in software industry and I get opportunities to go to US and meet our clients. Offline discussions, some times, turns into our Religion and Culture. Common question that most of the people ask is, "Why Hindus have so many gods?". How do I answer this question? One of the answers that I got was "Hindus have one God and many Gods that we pray are symbolic representation". But, this answer does not convince me. So, please let me know how do I answer this question.
His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar : Our body is created by one cell, that one cell multiplies and becomes eyes, brain etc. There are different impulses of intelligence. Our ancient people knew all this. Like the seven colours of the white line. Similarly, there many attributes to one parmatman, those attributes are called by various names
