Guest guest Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Greetings, About the 72,000 deities, I read it somewhere but cant recall. Thanks for your sacred information. Why must we focus outside our body and worship idols rather than focus on our body,ourselves?

Dear Mr Chandran: Where did you learn about the 72000 cells and 72000 dieties? And what about the other animals? Any idea on how many cells do they have? Just curious... As far as the question of GOD goes, all our ancient scriptures, to my understanding, considered the COSMOS as GOD. And various parts of cosmos, i.e. various anshas of cosmos is considered different devatas. Since we are also part of the cosmos, we are also part of God. That is where, as I understand, the older traditions e.g. Hinduism was very advanced. But slowly, man is losing his ability to comprehend beyond himself and his surroundings. And so idol worship came into more and more practice. E.g. Siva and Shakthi is nothing but the power of Creation. Even if you pay attention to the Linga and Yoni. But to a common man, Sivalinga is treated as the idol of Siva. Just my penny worth thought and learnings from different sources. I am not yet fortunate enough to be receiving these knowledge from any renowned Gurus. And so I may be grossly wrong. Thanks again for reading this. Best regards, Sreevidya.
