the radiant gods . i am the first-born of the being.

i am the artery of immortality. " <br><br>we are

all spiritual pilgrims in this forum and are here to

illumine one another. <br><br>the bhagwad gita says

is unreal. <br><br><br>archa-vigraha murthis are not

mere idols they are consecreted living -breathing

something more sacred ? does it not represent the

self-sacrifice and redemptive love of christ for mankind?

represented by OM or AUM? AND oM IS AN AURICULAR AND A VISUAL

SYMBOL FOR brahman -the absolute reality. all the

upanishads declare that OM the pranava mantra is parabrahman
