A. At times of
important celebrations; we frequently observe, somebody is requested to be
present, with a statement; “Even if you don’t contribute,
your presence
will make the difference”.
B. In every house
we see photographs/paintings hanging, of parted ancestors.
C. In offices we
see photographs/paintings hanging, of founder of the organisation.
D. In public
offices photographs/paintings of head of state (In India of
Mahatma Gandhi).
E. People visit
the temple when in certain difficulty or problem. Otherwise
Also, some
visit temple regularly.
Let us analyse how and
why:
· In case of
point A
In particular
people’s presence, workers/operators know very well; this
person’s
character & characteristics
1. His way of
thinking.
2. His way of
handling the job.
3. His reaction
upon certain situation.
4. How will he
execute a certain job?
5. What will he approve
or disapprove.
6. What will be
his reaction upon, working or behaviour of workers?
7. His capacity of
handling the subject; when the things are not
going right or getting
spoiled.
8. He is always
available to rectify; otherwise also for advice, on
method of
execution.
9. If something
goes wrong, how to rectify/handle the situation.
· In case of
points B, C and D (either person is dead or not accessible);
points 1-6
stand true; excluding they cannot execute the job themselves.
· Point E
requires a little more elaboration:
My one friend, used to stay in each class at least
3 years. He had
a conception that the books are full of knowledge
& emit (radiate) rays
of knowledge. With this conception, he used to
sleep keeping the
books under his head (below pillow) presuming the
waves of knowledge
emitted by books will go in his brain, in turn his
brain will be filled
with knowledge.
Let us understand this in a
different way. The voice/picture waves are
emitted in universe by
radio/TV stations. They are present around us all
the time, but cannot be heard/seen.
For reception of radio/TV signals
Transducers (equipment)
are required i.e. a radio/TV.
I regret to state, the way
we do idol worshiping is same.
My perspective is, if some
one is siddha [learned] of
-
SARASWATI, i.e. expert with pen, defines the
subject in writing
-
VISHVAKARMA,
i.e. expert with chisel & hammer [carving]; he
defines the subject carving a scripture or
making an idol.
Let us analyse a few
idols:
· Lord JAGANNATH
JAGARNAUGHT is the name
given to Lord JAGANNATH describing his
only one phase of power “OMNIPOTENT”. i. e.
He can execute any job.
okculpture of Lord
JAGANNATH is nearest to the features of GOD.
No one can describe ‘How He
(GOD) looks’
Keeping in mind the creator of sculpture (keeping the
limitations
Of self & art) made, such a way; no one can describe
his face.
Lord JAGANNATH is
OMNICIENT; he has very big eyes, but without
eye-lids, as he never
sleep so does not require the same.
Lord JAGANNATH is
OMNIPOTENT. Every happening in this universe
is as he wishes, but he
has no hand. He do not do anything by his own hands.
The universe moves upon
his thinking/direction only.
Lord JAGANNATH is
OMNIPRESENT. He is present everywhere, so he do
not require to move; so
what for he requires legs.
With the limited knowledge
I have, I understand the following Deites indicate:
· Deity GANA-PATI
GANA-PATI Leader/Captain of GANA [member of a
team]
Or VINAYAK Leader
Let us analyze an idol of
GANA-PATI; indicating the [qualities required in leader]
He is very heavy He should not move around much.
He should be available at his
office at all times
He stomach is very big He should digest all observations, i.e. not
spill out
verbally
His mouth is not visible He should speak least
His eyes are very small He should not believe what is visible
He has very big ears He should listen to all, being talked
around
He has a very long He must have good smelling power of
surrounding
Nose (Trunk) indicating he should have sixth sense
(instinct)
He has very big tusks He has to create an aura around of presence
His carrier is mouse He should not move much & should not
go long distance
His
one tusk is broken He is always to
keep in mind, there is better manager available, so he should be cautious
It indicates
the qualities required in a leader. (Elaborated above)
One of the main freedom fighters Bal Ganga Dhar
Tilak, picked
Lord GANESH from Indore & made him popular in
Pune & Mumbai;
the commercial centres of India. It proved a salient
feature in
achieving the freedom of India (By uniting the
public under one banner).
· Deity HANUUMAN
Indicate the
qualities required in a student or a person interested to learn (irrespective
of subject). As his name indicates, HANU-MAN (twisted chin). It happened while interacting
with SUN; i.e. experimenting even in very difficult situations.
One of his names is BAJARANG-BALI. To my
understanding, it does
not describe any of his characters. Actual name is
VAJRA-ANG BALI.
Hence this should be pronounced VAJRAANG-BALI.
· Deity DURGA
Represent the
power of women. How can she keep the house in order
and kill the
Mahishasur present in male mind, personality & body.
· Lord VISHNU
Represent the
quality of tolerance; in turn he achieved the position of GOD
