Who are Gods & Goddesses
Gods and goddesses are powerful energy beings who did big merits on donations, precepts and meditations in their past life. Gods don't like come near to human world or humans. So only they look at us and use mind waves for help us. Lot of times god's thoughts are powerful which means they can create some physical things from their mind. gods are look at people who do merits and use their mind power to help those people's life, which means make easy their works. This is called as Devatha Dushti means Attraction of Gods. We can get their attraction from mainly by giving merit to them. In Sri Lanka gods & goddesses called as Deviyo. Some low power gods & newly born gods are called as Devatha or Deva Putta. Except gods, their have another energy beings such as : 
  
Naga - They are powerful inhuman mostly live in ocean, but like to do merit, same power have like gods. When they want to be physically appear, they seen as serpent. Some of them have big body & powerful mind power.
Devils - Yakka - Beings who are cruel and ugly than gods, mostly not respect to five precepts. Some have fearful face and body color like dark black. They like eat meat, fish, eggs & oiled meals.
Hungry ghosts  - Pratha - Beings who were did sins in their past life, now stay without foods, cloths, body and house. Lot of times these inhumans trouble us with spell bindings & hunting our homes or body.
Bahirawa  - Same as ghosts but only located in certain areas & protect that area as their own. Bahirawa only trouble us, when we try to reside their area. In that time we want do Bahirawa puja for get their permission.
Asura - Inhuman beings who have same power as gods, but don't respect precepts or virtuous people. Sometimes they do jokes, troubles to good people & sometime fight with gods too. They stay in ocean or near areas.
Mara - Inhuman beings who have great power for control all living beings include gods then attach them to lust, illwill & ignorance. They trouble to good people in human world or gods and help to bad people.
   
Any gods don't come or hunt into human body except hungry ghost, naga or devils. But some devils are observe five precepts, respect to Buddhism & practice Buddhist teachings.
Some gods live in heaven (Sadiuya Loko Devo) and some are live on human world or sky near to earth, they are called as Earth Based gods (Bumatu Devo). In Maha Samaya Sutta, Lord Buddha said there have gods in based on all other planets and stars (Nakkhattàni purakkhatvà...) such as our sun, moon, Venus, mars, etc. Gods who are not belongs to lust world stay on Brahma worlds (Brahma Loko Devo) & gods who are in Anagami state (person who removed lust) stay on pureland heavens (Suddawasa Devo). Some low power gods who do entertain for higher gods from art, music and dances are called as Gandrawa. Lot of time they live in some part of heaven of four regions. 
Popular Buddhist teaching is "People who have gone to the Buddha for refuge, Will not go to the plane of hells. On discarding the human body, They will fill the hosts of the devas in heavens". 
     
How We Attract Gods & Goddesses?
It is very difficult to get god's attraction within small time such as one day, sometimes two or more months want to wait for get attraction from particular god. However Buddhist people can get their attraction from mind request in every day after worshiping to triple gem. But some people can get their attraction very soon cause of past lives relationship with gods. But gods attraction formula is so simple, which is : 
   
  Merits + Precepts + Tidiness + Sweet Odors + Chanting Dhamma (Parittas)
  
Lord Buddha say it is wise transfer merits to gods by doing Buddhist merit activities such as : giving alms or medicine, cloths donations to sangha, help to making temples or rooms for meditative Buddhist monks, doing meditations, observe precepts, teaching Dharma, learning Dharma, helping to poor people, etc... 
Earth Based gods and goddesses are attracted to - sweet odors such as water flowers, Sandalwood, Jasmine, Pichcha, some oils, fruits or clean places such as clean ponds, rivers, big trees, nice gardens, stupa and temples. If you keep such odors, trees or flowers inside your home, rooms or garden so gods will like to your home. 
Also keeping Buddha worshiping place (neat room or tall table with Buddha statue, leave of Bodi tree & small stupa, where you can offer flowers, incense sticks & oil lamp to Lord Buddha.) in your home is another way to get attractions of gods. If all family members worship to Buddha in this place, then all of them will attracted by kindly gods. 
Another thing is after you get sign from ishta devatha or other gods attracted to you, it is not good wear or use Amulets (Yantras) or use sound science (Mantras) for cure your problems. Then gods think you neglect their power, so they remove their attraction from you or your family. Instead of Mantras, you can use Buddhist poems or Parittas (Gods are esp. like to hear Karaniya Metta sutta & Maha Mangala Sutta). Good thing is you talk such things with your family Astrologer. If you reduce your merit works then gods also reduce their attraction as same amount from you & your family. Dhamapada said person who not get angry, who say true words & who give donations may close to gods!
  
Buddhist Gods & Goddesses
Buddhist people don't refuge gods but they only ask help from gods. Lot of Buddhist gods can be attracted to you by mind requesting. If they take your requesting into consider, they will show it by dream or some sign. This dreams can be see by you or your family member who has best precepts. Then you need to transfer merit for that god by doing big merit work by yourself. Lord Buddha said practicing of - devotion to triple gem, observe five precepts, dharma learning, donations & develop wisdom help to born in own desired heavens. Among these six heavens, Tusita heaven is special heaven where have only real Buddhist gods & goddesses and Bodhisattva gods.
     
Here are brief descriptions about the six heavens :

Some of them live in sub heavens which are located between earth surface and main six heavens. Birth of all god's life, belongs to did merits in their human life. There have wide truth that these gods are live in our real life. When Lord Buddha visit Sri Lanka three times & Arhat monk Mihidu Thero came to Sri Lanka, so lot of gods & goddesses in Sri Lanka became soovan (stream-enterer) & higher states, therefore we can conclude all areas in our country have those powerful gods who take care good Buddhist people around their regions.
       
We want to say any of following discussing gods or goddesses are not fictitious, so really live.

• Saraswathi Goddess : Goddess stay under rules of God Ganesha, when she happen to help people in matters of music, art & education. But she can't make learn you or give answers in exams. Only can remove your obstacles in your education. She can help you to strong up your mind via her mind power.

People want to give him oblation or Pideni, not deva puja. Pideni must include red or dark color flowers, meat, fish, oiled eggs, rice, curries, oiled meals, etc. But we don't recommend keep lamps or Pideni for him in homes, gardens or your lands, cause he punish cruel way even for your little mistakes. 
       
• Bandara Devathavo : Village leaders, herbal medical doctors, astrologers & teachers who did merit in their human life, consider rebirth as gods called Bandara Devatha. These bandara devatha can seen as wearing white color long cloths with matted hair. There have lot of Bandara Devatha in every villages in Sri Lanka. Eg..

Also gambara devatha take care Kataragama devala in their villages and towns.
     
• Graha Devathavo : As planet earth, other all planet also have gods & goddesses. Among those gods each planet have main god. As example Saturn have most powerful gods & goddesses, those gods are ruling by most powerful one main god. He is called as Senasuru Grahaya or main god of Saturn. Rahu & Katu are not planets, hence those gods are only two powerful gods. These gods can influence us with our negative or positive kamma forces. Hence these nine gods give punishments or help us in our each dasa periods. As example, in Buda main dasa & Shani sub dasa period, we get attraction of gods in Mercury & Saturn planets. These nine main gods are staying under rules of Sri Vishnu god. When we keep pujas for planets problems relevant gods in particular planet, can reduce such problems. But they can't 100% remove such kamma effects from us.

Lot of main gods or goddesses have their ministers (who are middle power gods), while under the those ministers have lot of low power gods who care some certain areas. As well as low power gods, all main gods have groups of devils or powerful hungry ghosts, who are used to give punishments to people who do bad things. Because all god's duty is keep good in world & escape bad ones. Devala or Devale or House of God is place, where have such low power gods such as Bumathu Deva, devils or ghosts.

• First tray must have with spread herbal leaves, seven fruits, small stick of sugar cane, king coconut fruit & seven sweet meals. As herbal leaves can take betel leaves. Here fruits must not - cut, eaten by insects or animal, dirty or too much young & old. Sweet meals must make in house, must not eat before keep in gods.
• Normally we use pineapple, bananas & mangoes as essential fruits for deva puja.
• Second tray must have with spread herbal leaves, seven flowers and lighted incense sticks. Flowers which are keep to gods must not big dark red flowers. But as water flowers, we can keep red lotus.
• Third tray must have with spread seven herbal leaves, seven coins & lighted camphor coins on shaded coconut fruit. Here coins only for represent money, you no need to keep big money.
• Lighted seven oil lamps in forth tray, normally oils from -  sandalwood, king coconuts or coconuts. Oil for god's lamps must not include animal oils. 

People who can't make such big puja can make small puja from steel tray with spread betel leaves, three fruits, three sweet meals, white flowers, lighted incense sticks and lighted camphor coins on shaded coconut fruit. 
  
It is good you use steel, brass or golden tray. This tray must only used for keep puja for gods. You need to consult good Astrologer for doing correct deva puja, Because according to your problem and also different gods like different type of leaves, odors, flowers, fruits, oils, meals & smells. After keeping these tray into place of god or Devala, we can request their attractions. Cause gods are like to neat & clean environments. Hence we need to choose clean place for do deva puja. Every devala have priest, who help to do deva puja. He is scared to be vegetarian and know well about god in his devala. You can consult priest in devala for keep this deva puja. But also you can keep such puja in devala or near the Bodhi tree by your hand the mindly request to take your puja. As you can understand this puja are not eaten by gods but they only use it's smells, colors or light & make happy their minds. 
 
Keeping Of Bara
Some people keep agreement or onus with gods, it called as Bara, by keep or tired coin twisted from new cloth in Devala or near tree. This coin is called as Padura. This coin must be wash from mixer of  lime juice with turmeric & cloth must be white, yellow or red, newly brought one. It is advised that all people want to remove Bara by give some help to Dewala after god help to you, otherwise gods are try to give big punishments to us, till we remove Bara. These punishments are called as Deva Dosha. You no need to keep big agreement with god what you can't do, gods enough little puja such as fruit, flowers, oil lamp, candle light, etc...
If you are live in another country, you can do same deva puja in Hindu temple or dewala in those countries. But it is not good do deva puja in garden or outside in homes cause some ghosts and devils hunter those smells. They will give new problems in your home. You can arrange deva puja little bit below the Buddha worshiping place or puja room. In that case use below steps :

• Firstly keep flowers, oil lamp & incense sticks to triple gem in Buddha worshiping place. 
• Worship Buddha by saying gathas and chant parittas of Karaniya metta sutta, Ratana sutta and Mangala sutta.
• Then observe five precepts.
• Then remember your did merit works little time.
• Take photo of your liked god and keep it little bit below to Buddha statue. 
• Then light oil lamp for god. Oils must be coconut oil.
• Offer light of oil lamp and transfer merits what you did, to god.
• Then ask help from gods by keep a bara via mental requesting.
• After that no need to light lamp for god every days. 
• Gods will saw you some omen in dream related to your request within 14 days. 

Are god's can tell our future? (Soothsaying)
Lot of gods can tell about our future from their mind power. But some hungry ghosts & devils mislead us from Devala by saying in truth about past but say lies about future. Because ghosts & devils can't say about our future more correct way as gods. Therefore you must be care when you go to ask future predictions from some Devalas. It is good to determine is that Devala have god or ghost by talking with main priests of Devala. Gods don't like to waste money, but ghosts are try to collect money from people who come to Devala. Then give that money to priests, cause they are past lives relation of that priests. But gods don't like to do that kind of misleading things.
In sinhala these kind of future predictions or prophesies are called as Sattara. Gods, devils, naga and ghosts can read our mind by enter to our mind images. Lot of time they can read our past lives through our mind. It is esp: power they have. Then they determine what kind of things happen in future through our kamma forces. Lot of times naga, ghosts & devils hunt our body to read our mind. This is called as trance or Awasha. In awasha state, person vibrate his body or head & say what customer ask things. But some powerful devils, naga & gods don't like to hunt human body, instead of it they link with our mind or nervous system via telepathy & their devine-eye. Cause gods are thinking human body as dirty or uncanny. In this case priest don't become awasha, instead he can know what telling by gods via some objects such as oil lamp, leaves, white paper, water cup, etc. Sometimes priests give Herbal Medicines, in that case before take such medicines, ask from experienced Ayurvadic doctor whether those medicines are valid according to traditional Ayurvadha. So here are simple identifications for know such Devala have gods or other inhumans,

• Ask name of gods or goddesses when he get awasha or trance, lot of times gods are say their names, details of heavens, what merit they did to become god, etc... But other inhuman get angry soon when ask their details. (those inhumans say ask those details help to get punishment from gods)
• Gods or goddesses don't like awasha or hunt human body.

• Devala which have inhuman not gods, are try to take money from customers, by make fear us such as telling we have big spell bindings, going to die, becomes sick, etc...
• Devala must be nice & clean for get attraction of any kind gods.

Get helps from gods & goddesses
According to our problems these gods or goddesses are help to get rid from our pains or they help us to win our life goals as like below. However gods & goddesses are not who are stay for help us, if they feel they help us. If we have big negative kamma to give result they will stay silent. Gods are can't mislead by giving pujas or by visiting to devalas, cause they are know every thing about us. Before get helps from these gods you must know that whether there have Ishta Devatha for you or there have attraction of particular god or goddess. If you have, then that ishta devatha can ask help from these main gods for you as represent. Ishta Devatha are our past life relations or friends or teachers who became gods cause of their merits. You can consult your astrologer for know that you have attraction of ishta devatha. Lot of times there have especial helpings from particular gods and goddesses. Therefore you may need consult your astrologer for know what gods good for your problems. However if you trust power of particular god, you can ask help from that god from your own mind. Here we gave some tips for get help from gods :

• Gods can get your transferred merits only after they help or bless for you. There have internship between gods & people, both need each other's helps. But lot of gods don't need our merits for their living. Also lot of gods esp. in upper heavens can do their own merits activities such as doing meditations, asking Dharma, etc...
• Gods give small punishment people who stay with good precepts, but tends to go bad path. Also gods give big punishments when we neglect to remove bara. But gods don't punish people who blames, neglect or refuse existence of gods, also they don't help such people.
• In every fullmoon day & poya days gods observe higher precepts, hence it is not uses or good ask for help from them in fullmoon days or visit devalas in such days. God's council normally gather at time between 10pm to 4am in every nights, which are suit for ask help from your most likes or respected gods & goddesses.
• Every gods can't give every helps what you ask, every gods have their own subject & limitations. This subjects or skills they achieved by their merits of their past human life. some god have lot of skills. Also we need merits for get help from gods, means they can't help us when we face big negative kamma.
• Gods can see every things at once, also they can go anywhere as soon as they feel. But gods & goddesses are not all mighty, all powerful and all energies ones as we heard. Gods precepts & wisdom are different with each other gods cause they achieved such power from their past life merits. Sometimes gods also face negative kamma, when such periods comes they become some what powerless.
• Real look like of gods are not same as what you seen in images on devala or shops. Even names are same, but god's past life stories are different from folk stories & Hindu myths stories. When we researched, we seen that lot of gods & even goddesses wear charm cloths & very small amount of gold ornaments.
• Always remember god's attraction formula, when you wish to get help from gods & goddesses : 
  " Merits + Precepts + Tidiness + Sweet Odors + Chanting Dhamma (Parittas) "
