Guest guest Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Let us give a thought to Ganesha Pratima Idol aahvana kriya, and Visarjanam in a VEDIC WAY. All of us should take oath that we will buy/make " only Ganesha Idol made of pure mud in its natural form. " (Mata Parvati did so) We all should desist buying coloured Idols. However if the colours used are vanaspathi (vegetable) based colours such as " Turmeric (Haldi)/ Kumkuma or green leaves or roses or from essence of coloured flowers " It is a sin to use " Iron/Steel rods for making Ganesha Idol. Aagama Shastras object to preparing/worshipping such a kind of statues / idols. Any thing embedded with iron/steel is embedded with " Shani (Saturn) " This therefore is forbidden. But how many so called Saamuhika pooja Mandals/ Groups follow this????. They all seem to think larger the idol the better!!. Perhaps Yes, ONLY if the Vigraham (idol) does not contain prohibited (iron/steel rods etc), poisonous (lead/mercury containing paints), harmful (plaster of Paris etc) and pollutants (asbestos). BUT HOW MANY LISTEN. OH Vinayaka, Mushika Vaahana, Gajaanana Please give some Buddhi to those ignorant and not so ignorant (but adament) bhajana mandals, saamuhika pooja Mandals or societiesin this regard. Jaya Ganesha. Jaya Jaya Ganesh. Om Gam Kshipra Prasaada nAAya Namah: With Warm regards, Siva Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
