Idol Worship -- Kali At Karnali Gujarat

[Guest guest]

This temple is on the banks of Narmada. Sri Aurobindo visited in the year 1908

on the persuation of his friends, as he himself had at that time NO Faith in

idols or image worship.

 

He wrote subsequently : " With my European Mind, i had no faith in them and

hardly believed in the presence of God in such images. But when i looked at the

Idol of Ambaaa I found a living prescence deatlhless and

divine,voiceless,omnipotent,inscrutable,mute in the desert and the sky and deep,

a form that harbours all infinity .... For the first time I beleived in the

presence of God. You stand before a temple of Kali beside a sacred river and see

What? -- a sculpture,a gracious piece of architecture, but in a moment a POWER,

a Face that looks into Yours, an inner sight in you has regarded the World

Mother.
