Guest guest Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 Sri Matre Namah Hi You have taken it wrong,I like the Mother as she is. And BhadraKali of the Kodungalloor Bhagavathy temple is my favourite deity.Please see Her original Moorthy at the following link: http://hindusaktha.freeservers.com/images/bagavathi3.html I was telling about the impression an alien would have on that pic. It seems like a clay idol and it is not the form that we meditate on Mother. Mother Lalithambika's charming figure I found was: http://www.courses.rochester.edu/muller-ortega/rel249/lalita/LALITA.JPG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Alien from outer space would not have any problem associating her with anybody. To be honest I am not so concern about alien impression. What important to me is how I see her and accept her as she is. I can put a pic of the begger in the street and say : This is Devi. And it will be Devi to me. But you see, you can meditate mother in any form, be it a clay or whatever. You can also meditate her in a form of light. SO what's the big deal about this image thingy. What you see is the representation as protrayed by Guruji Amritananda Natha Saraswati of Devipuram. That is how the Khadgamala Devis appear before him. You can see those clay images at Devipuram itself. If its good for Him, its good enough for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 Hey, Nora, Haridev -- Namaste! It is natural for individuals to have favorite portrayals of their chosen deities. But there's such a variety of modes of Divine Portraiture, it is impossible to please everybody. Personally, I like my images to be drawn or painted, with polychromatic skin colors (rather than have European-looking complexions!). Not too cute, please! Devas that would appeal to Space Aliens -- there's an idea... If I could still draw, I'd whip up an image of almond-eyed space-abductors dancing like Nataraja, or the monster from Alien playing at being Narasimha (the snakey baby Alien bursting out of Hiranyakashipu's stomach?). Sometimes, the Divine appears to us in the form of our human companions. I've watched my friend Sally playing the guitar, and bowed to the Saraswati in her. Or been thanked by a homeless shopping-bag lady for giving her change, and pressed my palms to Bhairavi. The Shakti Sadhana List is a manifestation of divine satsangha in my life. Thank you, Lords and Ladies! And may 2006 AD dawn brightly and full of joy and promises for you all. -- Len/ Kalipadma NMadasamy <nmadasamy wrote: <haridevcusat> wrote: > > Sri Matre Namah > Hi You have taken it wrong,I like the Mother as she is. <snip> > I was telling about the impression an alien would have on that pic.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 Hi Friends, Happy new 2006, What i believe personally is the idol does not matter in any Puja. If we go Vaishnodevi, there are only 3 pindis representing Maa Kali, Maa Lakshi, Maa Saraswati. However I do believe that the idol must be a one in which one can see the devine power he is looking out.May be guruji was watching the devine power in this clay idol. It is upto moderator and owner of the group to change the home page idol. but i do feel that it is not necessory to change the idol.
