What we worship..?

 As per Hindu mythology we use to worship Lords & Lodes in the form of their idols... there are end number of idols made of basalt, granite, limestone, ice (Ex: Lingam), tree root, earth or metal along with sent of flowers, smell of incense sticks, voice of bells and spray of water... depending upon the choice of devotee... in simple words human being need some mental credence or scare for all his good or bad deeds.. such feat makes him to follow vital spiritual belief like God... for many times such belief worked inline and that gave a strong footing to presence of God.


But as per Indian ancestors, the sole meaning to keep faith in spirituality was to be obliged to the basic features like Sun, Earth, Water, Metal, Air, Trees etc... one could have noticed in typical worship... where idol is made of Earth or Rock, to make process hygiene often Water is used in the form of Ganagaajal, to represent Air incense sticks glow, burn camphor’s or lamps correspond to Sun, Metal bells in rings and flowers stand for presence Trees... thus in other words to worship means to be loyal to the Mahaabuthaas (basic features of life)... this fact acknowledges that ancestor kept great concern about Environment... thus they converted major represents of environment to Lords or Lodes(just to create spirutual fear)... further, to protect animal or wild life they converted or joined lords to many forms.. like lord Vishnu in the form of avtaars like Matsyaa(for fish), Tortoise (during samudra manthana), Varaah (for pig) etc.. others like Ganesha(for elephant), Hanumaan(for monkey) and other charters like Lion (for Vaishnodevi), Eagle (for Vishnu), Crow (for Shaneshwara), Peacock (for Muruga), Tiger (for Ayyappa) etc.

All the time (past or future) it’s human tendency to go against the ecology... thus ancestor's ultimate aim of worship was, to show their gratitude towards the Environment... through 'Worship'..!
