Bhagavathy Sevai

[Guest guest]

Worshipping the deity in vilakku is also in other

forms of the Supreme. Madhvas worship Lord Venkatesa

in a lamp during Navaratri and also chant Venkatesa

mahatmya. In addition the lamp burns continuously for

all the 9 days and worshipped with all ritual purity

and mantras.

 

The Lord can be invoked in any natural element as He

is present in a form in each of these. I remember,

though I am unable to recall exactly the source, to an

Upanishadic reference which says that agni derives his

heat from a presence of a form of the Supreme that

provides it and so also other elements.
