Probably what he meant was idol worship

To Renugaji, Sorry due to sudden shutdown of my unit I could not complet the word.
The word is like this Idol worship is not Ideal for humans and devi devaths.,because you connot get Mukthi. Only way to do deep Meditation and find the Nameless,colourless,God with in humanbody. s.r.k. ( Idol worship started only 1000 years back). s.r.k.

srk,

Using a vigraha,we attain the path to mukthi.Every aspirant knows this.But various other religions try to divide the hindus and less mature people by pointing this vigraha prana pratishtha as an impediment.There is not a single religion in this world,which does not use various props(like books,symbols,direction of praying to one direction only..etc) to teach enlightenment at an individual level.Nithyam Sharanam Gacchami.

Dear Sri Nachi,

I read, lot of our saints (almost all) for enlightment, the common practice was doing "Thavam" and "Nishtai". The temples are built by Indian Kings when there was a neccessary to save from or differentiate from the introduction of other religion. I mean Budhism & Jainism. Before the introduction of those religions, do you think the vedic dharma recommended vigraha worship. I do not know. I ask this to educate myself. What is "Thavam" why it can not be practiced in these days?!

Thanks

Sir,
I had recorded in another thread about an ancient saying(I Do not know the name of the author) informing us that there will be no need for "THAVAM" if you observe the following in your LIFE.
ANAITHU UYIR ONRU YENRU YENNU
ANNAIVARUKKUM PASIUI MATRU
MANATHILULLA BEDA BEDAM, Vanjanai, KALAVU, SOODHU,
SINATHAYUM THAVIRPAYAGIL
SEI THAVAM VERU ONRUM ILLAI.
B.Krishnamurthy

Dear Sir,
Wonderful principles one could hold. Thanks

PVR,

Time and tide waits for none.Whatever should happen is happening.Whatever is going to happen is going to happen.Buddhaism is nir-ishwara vadam.Buddha preached not to even have a vigraha of him.Buddha did not preach to have sects like Mahayana or Hinayana or Zen...etc.To me Buddha left his role & responsibilities from his parents,wife,children,kingdom...so,when i cannot understand a enlightened master to some,it's prudent,that i remain silent.

Jainism,the tirthankara are 24 in my understanding.If i am wrong,i wish to be corrected.Both Jainism Buddhism,for that matter,all religions existing today,emanate from the concepts & practices of Bharat.The geography is questionable,but imo Bharat is entire bhu-lokam.ekam sath viprah bahu vadanthi,which is Sanathanam Dharmam source of teachings.

Resources of knowledge is plenty.We always can make a choice that which suits us and live accordingly,without harming oneself and others.

Dear ALL,
Sow.Renukaji has raised a question: For How long do we'Hindus' have to prescribe to worship of GOD in the form of MURTIS(idols)?. In my humble opinion as long as a particular individual feels necessary in his spiritual path. This is just like using a ladder or steps or Lifts to go up. Once you go up you do not need the aids which you had used earlier for coming up
