Would this idea offend Hindus?
The background of my sci-fi story is that in the deep time of several Galactic civilizations godlike beings who called or called themselves Devas and Nagas visited and uplifted several races spreading spiritual ideas as part of a war against an evil entity they kept bound. The Nah'Kar ( Children of the Nagas in their own language) in particular were chosen to guard the area this evil entity was bound. Since this happened eons before my story takes place I have not clarified the Devas and Nagas aree highly advanced once material beings that spiritually ascended or were actual, bona fide Gods ( the characters themselves don't know). I'm fascinated by Hindi and Buddhist religions and am trying not to be disrespectful.
