Guest guest Posted July 11, 2001 Report Share Posted July 11, 2001 Dear Maura, We are all brain-dead to a certain extent. If you can keep your mind in God, you will be far ahead of those whose minds are scattered about accomplishing so-called important things in the world. Do not distress. Think, think of God in whatever way you conceive. That is the only thing that is important in this life.

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2001 Report Share Posted July 11, 2001 For me, Idol worship is the best path to start in trying to reach GOD. Worshipping idols, helps us in concentrating our love towards god. All the religions have some sort of idol worship. In the case of Chrisitianity, people bow before Cross (Which is also a form of representing GOD). Even muslims have their own symbols, which they consider sacred. Without idol worship, it is impossible to start thinking about god. I have also heard that when we start worshipping an idol, and do various poojas, these idols themselves acquire some sort of power(as if GOD has descended on it). Does anybody know more about this. Why do only some temples acquire fame and people believe that the idol there has more power? Is it just a perception, or is there some truth in that? If my question does not make sense, please forgive me. Om Namashivah M.Magesh >Thnaks a lot for your quick reply.

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2001 Report Share Posted July 11, 2001 A nice question.Yes we human beings like any other living beings have magnetic power arround us.Some peole call this aura.Our body is itself a magnet. When u concentrate on some idols some of ur energy flows through that idol.Even u r thoughts produce waves(eletro magnetic waves).These waves has the capability to produce good and evil things.Even a thought sends a wave which disturb the whole cosmic world.Thats wy in Tamil langauge their is a saying meaning " that person had fallen in the teeth of so many people or that persons deeds had affected so many people because of their curse he is suffering now " .these all because of our thoughts. When u concentrate on a idol or any form it gets power because of ur energy.The same way with so many temples for years and years people thoght and belief had made those places full of sacred good thoughts and positive energy So means are many But always use this power in good things..that is my only humble request regards Raj Magesh Margabandhu [mmagesh] Wednesday, July 11, 2001 9:37 AM Ramakrishna Re: [ramakrishna] Digest Number 838 For me, Idol worship is the best path to start in trying to reach GOD.
