Question from Bob:Why are certain Hindu images of Gods and Goddess so violent looking, and in some cases violent sounding and or violent acting per recordeddoctrines?Swamiji's response:The Ego perceives the process of eradicating the Ego as violent. That is why the deities are depicted in violent postures. The reality is that Ego is eradicated only with Goodness and Purity, so the depictions of violence are only in the imagination of the Ego, which is striving to resist.
