Sri: Srimathe Gopaladesika mahadesikaya Namah: Dear Smt Priya, I had heard in one upanyasam during my school days, an answer to this question: The cow's milk in nothing but the blood, that becomes milk at a particular part of the body which is drunk by calves (and us too, milking from that "madi"). Only there does one get milk.. That was the logic narrated that only in temples can we see Him, though He is everywhere. Even though the Almighty Sriya: Pathi Sriman Narayanan manifests everywhere, it is the Divya MangaLa vigraham in five forms, namely, Param (Sri VaikunTa Paramapadha nAthan), vyUham (Vasudevan, Pradhyumnan, SankarshaNan, Aniruddhan), Vibhavam (various avtaars), Archai (temples and saaLigraaam at homes) and antharyaami (in ecah one of us) which also of Suddha satvam (pristinely puerest mdoe of Godness, with no contamination of other mdoes like passion (rajasam) and ignorance (thamasam). If you can visualise Him everywhere and everyone, (which is what we should be doing), and consider all as "he" in them, (Gita says: sunischaiva svapaakhEcha paNdithaa sama dharsina:) you are a "PaNdithai"- Though He exists in other four forms, it is "archA roopam that is easily accessible; seeable; enjoyable and we can drink his Divine Beauty with joy. That is the reason AzhwArs have lost themselves in the archA roopam and saw all other four forms in "archA roopam".
