Amazing explanation on importance of diety worship

[@diptyraninayak7481]

Ohh !!! Swamiji you have explained the importance of murti puja so sweetly relating it to the stories from the past. It makes devotion easy and practical. .

[@rajatkumarmahapatra7142]

Swamiji has explained so beautifully about strong reason behind developing our love towards God through deity worship.

[@MY-my007]

Swamiji, I love this story. You explained to me why we practice deity worship. You helped me understand Bhakti.

[@jyothsanaravi755]

An ever to be remembered message which is that god sees only the intention and the purity of the heart in devotion ❤❤❤❤❤🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻beautiful as always ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@dannelchristopher942]

What a beautiful episode this time swamiji, just awesomely beautiful.

[@sandhyadas6323]

Wonderful explanation.God sees the purity and sincerity of our sentiments, not the external acts of worship. The depth of our love and devotion is what touches His heart. God reciprocates according to the love and sincerity we offer. Whether we worship Him through a stone idol, a piece of paper, prayers, meditation, service, or remembrance, what truly matters is the devotion behind the act. When our heart is filled with love, humility, and surrender, we can draw closer to God.

[@harivanshmouryagautam7319]

God bless you

[@AgniveerBoy-go6sn]

Yes it is easy to connect with Shree krishna

[@aparnadeshpande9077]

Lifelong we have been doing deity worship but never knew how it could help in cultivating the bhav towards God. Now I understand it is easy to connect with God.

[@srinathmirajkar5926]

Develop devotional sentiments within yourself as God is pleased with it! God is not pleased with external activities alone. Thank you, Swami ji 🙏🕉

[@jyothsanaravi755]

We always think like this ! Whenever we go to temple and see lord’s murti we discuss in joy the beauty of lord’s murti , like what color costume he was wearing what different and beautiful ornaments he was adorned with what his beautiful features are etc., so it’s always so nice and easy to connect to god by his murti ❤❤❤❤❤🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@udeshnaemonborah4628]

Wow, what a powerful message from Swamiji on deity worship and its significance in our beliefs. It’s not just about the act of worship but the deep sentiments we hold within ourselves toward the Deity. Thank you so much Swamiji, for your wisdom and for always guiding us on our spiritual journey. ❤️🙏🏼

[@Krishna-e6i]

Radhe Radhe Swamiji. Thank you for this video.

[@subhanidas2130]

Beautiful revelation of roop dhyan ... Radhey Radhey 🙏

[@VivekanandaBharatiPrasadRayapr]

Swami Vivekananda and Swami Mukundananda both are Holy saints. Swami Vivekananda is ferocious externally but our beloved Swamiji is an incarnation of humbleness. Both personalities are divine. Pranams to both saints.

[@SumitraMadhu]

So blissful and enlightening to listen to 🙏Swamiji’s lecture on the importance of connecting and worshiping God in deity form! Worshiping God in a deity form helps a devotee to develop a strong sentimental connection with the Supreme God through Sadhana. Even more important in sadhana is the connection of God we form and attach in our heart and mind of God through Roopdhyan. Thank you Swamiji!

[@deepalithareja]

God sees the devotion within… such a beautiful explanation about the practice of deity worship

[@ravishankarch8910]

Swamiji, This Spirtual secrets from Hinduism series helped me to understand so many minute things regarding bhakti. Today, I learned about the importance of diety worship. The wisdom you shared especially when you told that just like astronauts before being sent into space practice in zero gravity environments, likewise, we will serve God in-person after going to his divine abodes, In the interim, we get to simulate the seva with the deity. Swamiji, I'm understanding how blessed Im to have you as my Guru to receive this kind of divine knowledge which is helping me to purify the mind. ❤❤❤

[@kbdnyongbo]

Thanks Swamiji. Blessed to have listened to it. Boundless creating power in the form of deity and having a personal one. Beautiful.

[@sunitisingh7737]

Really loved the way Swamiji explained devotion through Deity. Inspiring story of the blind man's devotion to Sri Krishna.Since God is everywhere, if you have great faith in God, You will be able to show your devotion to God through Deity. God reciprocate to your effort to surrender what matters your purified heart towards God.

[@RupaliMusicOfficial]

Beautiful video swamiji🙏🙏❤️❤️ thanks for sharing.. Radhey Radhey 🙏❤️

[@MY-my007]

Yes, I find focusing on Radha Krihna through the my day very easy to do. I always start my morning with your meditations through the app.

[@sarbanidas4149]

The importance of Deity worship is wonderfully explained in the video by Swamiji.. everything depend on our own feelings and faith of how we worship God 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@priyajaiswal5688]

Thankyou Swami jee for creating such immense connection towards god

[@jayasreenair]

Yes, it is easy to connect with God through Deity worship 🙏🪷🪷🪷🪷🙏

[@listener762]

Dil mein basi tasveer yaar ki jab chahe sar jhukale…Roopdhyan meditation is very powerful way to get closer to God…🙏🙏🙏

[@satyanarayanasharma9484]

Beautiful message from Swamiji about deity worship.Deity worship is,however important in the beginning to develop loving sentiments but visualization is more powerful and important than the deity worship.We can't take Krishna with us wherever we like .

[@camtharp1644]

This is an amazing explanation of murti puja that can simplify the concept easily for people who don’t have this tradition in their beliefs.

[@hadinayak1424]

It is easy to connect with God through diet worship. The depth of our selfless deep love connect with God. Thank you swamiji for the inspiring video.

[@laxmiprasanna2656]

God sees our intention behind any work. Wonderfully explained about the deity worship and importance of Roopdhyan too.

[@meghavyas3899]

Pure bhav/ emotions must be genuine is so important. Radhey radhey

[@VishalSingh-ny3kr]

Indeed, worshiping God in the deity form gives the wandering mind an image of the supreme, and with our efforts to focus our attention and cultivate love for him go a long way in recognizing his presence in our daily lives. Thankyou Swami Ji!

[@RadhaShilpa]

Swamiji beautifully explained that worshiping deities serves as a simulation for us in this world, allowing us to practice serving God. This practice acts as a rehearsal for when we finally reach Golok and serve Him there.❤❤

[@mousumibhattacharjee4461]

Wonderful teachings pronam Swami ji

[@manjushreenanda3754]

Swamiji nicely explained the secret and importance of diety worship in the Hindu religions giving examples of Gopinath ji story and story of Ramkrishna Paramhans.. Thank you Swamiji. 🙏

[@lipisindiancuisine4282]

Swamiji has explained here about the special features of idol worship. For devotion, service, worship and love of God, we need the support of an idol in the primary stage.

[@artikhatwani3779]

Radhey Radhey! Very beautiful video explaining idol worship. The whole idea behind idol worship is after doing bhakti, at some point, we will be able to draw the image of God in our minds and then feel the connect. All our emotions and bhaav are all associated with the "chhavi" of Lord created by us in our hearts. Its very much needed to progress spiritually. Thank you for explaining Swamiji. Our humble pranams at your lotus feet.

[@manoramadas9882]

So heart touching explanation the story of devotee Madhavendra Puri and why the Lord Gopinath known as Khirchora Gopinath. God only wants love of devotees. Thank you Swamiji.

[@sarbanidas4149]

A beautiful and heart touching story story of Khira Chora Gopinath❤❤

[@krishnakhanal1]

[@gayatrich1801]

Swamiji relates very wonderful, inspiring stories to explain the concept of deity worship..thank you Swamiji for teaching us ways to enhance our devotion towards God..

[@nvp4063]

Radhey Radhey Swamiji 🙏 To offer prayers and our gratitude we need a picture or a statue of our beloved Deity . The God supreme is kind who sees the efforts and the prayers offered from heart and bhav by His devotees . He is aware of the sentiments of his devotees 🙏 and reciprocates . Madhavendra’s devotion explains it.

[@vijayasabbi9973]

Radhey Radhey 🙏🙏🏻🙏🙏🏻🙏🙏🏻🙏🙏🙏🙏🏻🙏🙏🙏🏻🙏🙏🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🙏🏻🙏🙏🏻🙏🙏

[@gayatrich1801]

Thank you Swamiji for teaching us the hidden power of deity worship through so many inspiring stories. We have to create sentiments towards the deity as if God is truly present in that deity. That is a true fact that God is present everywhere, and also in the deity.. It is always the purity of our sentiments/bhav with which we worship the Lord is noted by Him, not the physical form we choose to worship..

[@moulisivam9276]

Whether its idol worship or seeing him everywhere, its all about what builds our devotion in this material world is important. How we cultivate love and improve spirituality

[@geerani7498]

Namaste Swamiji 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 I am trying both Deity and Mind worshipping of Bhagavan Shree Krishna in all his innumerable forms ! And will keep trying until I succeed in this journey 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 Radhey Radhey 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🕉️

[@navyaprasanna8559]

Inspiring and wonderful explanation, sadhana bhakthi is more effective with manasi seva doing with mind but seva doing to deity is more connected to my heart that God is receiving my seva I think God sees only the purity of our seva. RADHE RADHE.

[@AaratiPravaSahoo]

Radhey Radhey swamiji🙏🙏

[@sonalitambave2676]

Amazing explanation…got to know many things …most important is creating image of God in mind 🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹

[@vidyavenupawar6364]

At times, I get connect with most enchanting dieties like RadhaKrishna from Dallas and Tirupati Balaji. Even RadhaKrishna diety from JKU ashram is marvellous. But in real, I have no sentiments for dieties. I believe that God is present in my heart. I feel His presence around me. Just seeing God at one place, I don't like the idea. But one touching point from Swamiji, if God is present everywhere. He is present in diety too. I'm trying to invoke those sentiments and trying to serve Him with utmost sentiments. Yet my Lord always who reside in my heart and mind is more attracting to me, visit to them gives me peace and fills my heart with bliss. And Swamiji is saying that sentiment is powerful and the highest. Thanks alot Swamiji for this wonderful video. I was in tears when I heard story of Kheer Chor Gopinath. My Krishna is completely gives His everything for the selfless devotion.

[@nehasharan8396]

Great explanation on the ritual of diety worship but even more important is the Roop Dhyan Meditation or Mansi seva where we can carry God in our mind always and everywhere!

[@stacyhutchins3791]

[@sanjaybhati6823]

This is so inspiring. Swamiji.

[@santoshsahu3357]

Very good message by swamiji. Every action done with the aim for God's pleasure is counted. God doesn't see the external action. He notes what is the intention, emotions, internal thoughts towards him. He is omnipresent. So in Murti puja with deep faith that God is present in it can lead us to closer to God ❤❤

[@gourisankar845]

God will bless pure hearts......

I want to know the name of your Guru because you are always motivated and your Guru must be that much enchanting and motivational

[@manjushreerath]

Deity worship, to me, is a powerful way of connecting with the divine and practicing my devotion towards my Ishta-dev. We all know God is all-pervasive and He is sitting in our heart. But that realization cannot satisfy us. We wish to see Him, to press His lotus feet, to offer Him garland and to feed Him. All this becomes possible through the deity. With a devotion-imbued heart, when we engage in the service of the deity, the Lord accepts and reciprocates.🙏🙏🙏

[@sudhasarangi3067]

[@krishnatulsi4749]

This wonderful video helps us to understand how to develop our faith and loving sentiments towards our beloved God through it's deity. It is a well-known fact that God is present in the hearts of all individuals and in all places, but we are drawn to serve Him through our various direct sevas, such as bathing, offering food, and pressing his feet. In order to preserve this connection, we must maintain a deity for daily worship. However, it is important to remember that this is not the highest form of worship, as Swamiji stated. Rather, the deity that we install in our minds is of greater significance. Nevertheless, the stories of Swami Vivekananda and Saint Madhvendra Puri are truly inspiring and motivating in terms of cultivating divine sentiments with our beloved God. Kindly accept my heartfelt gratitude to your lotus feet, Swamiji for your wonderful guidance and blessings through this wonderful series of Spiritual Secrets from Hinduism.

[@letsshinewithlearning2805]

Krishna my last hope 🙏

[@premalathanammi6182]

# Swami Mukundananda had picked up such wonderful examples from the the lives of the great saints to explain the significance of the deity worship. As He explains One can feel the intense concern and compassion towards the devotees to understand and start implementing. Let us all look for the Roop dhyaan meditation by Swamiji in the KZbin and relish that as well.

[@hkstudy]

RADHEY RADHEY SWAMIJI🙇🌺🙇

[@SoumyaAcharya-ez6ho]

Deity worship helps in connecting with God. Helpful for the beginners

[@rupalpatel7781]

Swamiji explained the purpose and importance of deity worship beautifully. By worshipping deity, we can connect with God and offer him our devotion. We can feed him, bath him, touch his feet and take blessings, and decorate him with beautiful clothes and garlands. As long as our sentiments are genuine, God will accept whatever we offer him and reciprocate accordingly.

[@RadhaShilpa]

At the beginning of sadhana, it's easy to connect God through idol worship and later transitioning to Manas worship. Ultimately, God looks at our intentions and the purity of our hearts, rather than our outward actions. ❤❤

[@diptyraninayak7481]

The mind gets attached easily with form by nature. Devotion becomes easy to focus when there is something outer. One can add other steps of loving devotion to the deity like pressing the feet, preparing garland, bhog, dressing the deity and so on. Swamiji showed us the best way to connect our minds with God.
