Dear swamiji Hope you are doing well. All hindu sacred texts like Vedas, Upanishads, Bagavet Gita and so on says that there is only one god in hinduism and the god has no image as well. I personally agree with this. And in these texts it is also stated that idol worship is not allowed in hinduism. (Bagavat Gita ch.7 vs.20, Yagurveda 40:16]8, Chandogya Upanishad 6:2:1]1, Svetasvatara Upanishad 4:19]3). But still hindus are worshiping idols. So I would like to know what is the reason behind idol worship? How idol worship came in to hinduism? if idol worship is not allowed how hindus worship god? Swamiji I sent the same question last week but the reply i got is not complete. So I would like to get a complete answer for this. Hope I made myself clear. await to hear from you the answers with reference and proofs from our sacred text. Kind regards Vinu Hari Ohm…’

Worship is not to create warship in the mind, unfortunately now it is turning in that direction in all religions.
Worship is to help us to to evolve from a weak mind into a strong mind.
Then alone one can face all situations peacefully in life.
HariOm!
