Re: Idol worship and Vedas???

GOd is truly present in the vigrahas for the purpose
of helping common people like us. We may not have the
ability to meditate him as omnipresent or as
antaryamin. FOr bhakthi margam archai is very useful
and essential as we really get the reverence. For
people with out faith, it is their karma and they will
also realize in another birth. The being beyond
prakrithi appears in stones and that is the elimai of
bhagwan  - what else to say. God with form is so
beautiful and merciful. Alwars have sung enough to
explain their anubhavam. When God is meditated as
formless and attributeless what bhavam one gets?  As
form of light ? that is again the form inspired by
Sun. Man doesn't have the capacity to realize God -
knowing this god is ever present in divya kalyana
roopam. 

warm regards,
Balaji S.
