Placing of our idols photo

[Guest guest]

Hi friends,

 

i need somebody to guide me on what is the best way of placing the pictures

of our god in our prayers room. I am moving to another house. So far i have

Ganapathy, Durga Amman , Siva's family photo. ( large one 's ). the small

photos are Sivan , Ganapathy , Laksmi , Saraswathy.

 

What is the best way to place them ? What I am actually try to ask is wheter

Ganapathy must be in the middle or Sivan's family , Durga Amman. If

Ganapathy in the middle, what must be in his left / right. If there is no

specific method , can i placed as my like ? . If there is any link ?

 

Thanks.

My views are kind of different on this topic about where to place the idols--- I

beleive in my heart that it is not important that where do u place which idol-

the important thing is the devotion, our complete faith in our creator and

total surrender .. We should always remember that all the different gods are

just different names that we have given to one and only one god.. In God's eyes

the devotion and the love that we have in our heart for him is important -- not

the formalities of placing which god to the right and which to the left

....Instead of thinking where to place which idol -- lets pay attention on how

we can make our hearts more pure and full of devotion so that HE will shower

his grace upon us and accept us as his humble servants..

I hope by expressing my views , I did not hurt any ones good intentions..

Total devotion is important but do you believe that each directions have different viobrations.

 

If everyone can practise total surrender than we don't need any pictures or idols and even temples.

 

Pictures and idols are the beinging stage of total surrender.

 

Ramalinga Swamigal have said that gods are in jothi (light) form.

Hence placing the lights have also directions. At this moment we are talking

about cosmic energy not just a normal light. We have negative and positive

forces in our houses according to vasstu. Every house with a prayer room will

not place their lights in the south direction. (direction of Yama)

 

All pictures and idols are given different names by us but are one. But

different pictures,idols in different name and from different directions serve

individual needs(Specialist).

 

Eg: All whom have studied M.B.B.S are called Doctors but remember we don't go to

any doctor for all illness. We have Specialist for eye,skin,bone,brain,tooth and

so on. For a particular illness we only go to the particular doctor and not any

doctor. This picture, idol and direction thing is also something like that.

 

Our yogis, rishis, siddhar, guru and many more have given us directions on all

this basic things. If the basic goes wrong we can't achieve the higher goals.

 

Believe me.

I think your KULA Devata's idol should be in the

centre of the Worship Room. Next should be your Ishta Devata. Followed

by what ever you feel good about the idold ( I did not mention here any

photos). Photos can be put in any order anywhere in your pooja Room.

Restrict the photo display in your inner rooms itself.

When you Put Ugra Devata's photo (Mahakali dancing with

skull garland) those kinds of photos asks for bali (sacrifice), don't

think bali = human sacrifice, bali here mean Naivedya. So everyday you

have to be strict to do that.

Idols ( as mentioned in one of the previous mails less

than 3 inches) arrange it accordingly. BUT NEVER FORGET TO WORSHIP YOUR

KULA DEVATA. To give an example, however Rama worshipped Shivalinga

before crossing the Bridge, finally before the great fight between him

and Ravana, Sage Agastya asked him to worship the Kula Devata (Sun) to

get his blessings.

Kula devata will keep you protected, Ishta devata will lead you to emancipation.

How do you find these devata's? One way is to ask your parents who is

their Kula devata. Ista Devata is to know which God's appearance makes

you devotional and emotional.

The other way is to find through the Navamsa (D9) chart. 12H from the AtmaKaraka (AK).

What is AK = Soul Planet that drives you in this life.

AK planet is the one which has the highest Longitude degree in the chart.

There is an exception for Rahu, lets say rahu = 1deg, 30 min. Then you

substract 30 - 1.30 = 28.30, this get the highest degree. So the Atma

Karaka is Rahu.

Kula Devata = 6H from Amatya Karaka (AmK) Amatya Karaka is the 2nd highest degree.

What planets sit and who has more power in this 6H determines the KulaDevata..

I must have put more than necessary information. Any how... thought of sharing this.

DO NOT FORGET TO WORSHIP your Kula Devata.

Thanks

Dear George Pillai,

I' ve got to say that your example about the specialist is very impressive..And

yes, I do agree with what you have to say about vastu shastra..There are a lot

of people who beleive in vastu shastra and also in feng shui -according to

which --directions, colours etc hold a lot of importance to attract the

positive vibrations and get rid of the negative vibes..But again all this drops

down to a person beleives and his feelings about a certain subject.And since, it

is a matter of beleif- it is baseless to proove our point -as this will give

rise only to our ego.And besides beleives come from a persons own experience

and knowledge that life has to show him/her.So in the end we all are right from

where we stand in our life.

So lets leave this subject to the original question of Panimalar a/p Venayagan

about where to place the idols -What is the best way to place them ? What I am

actually try to ask is wheter Ganapathy must be in the middle or Sivan's family

, Durga Amman. If Ganapathy in the middle, what must be in his left / right. If

there is no specific method , can i placed as my like ? . If there is any link

?
