Even the blessed Lord Krishna did not dither on the issue of mode of worship

Even the blessed Lord Krishna did not dither on the issue of mode of worship..

He said in Gita.. yo yathaa maam prapadyante taan tadaiva bhajamyaham.. यो यथा मां प्रपद्यन्ते तान् तथैव भजामयाहं. I manifest to other in whatever way they approach me.

Therefore, seeing His presence in anything, and even nothingness are both the same..

If you argue that the Divine  Mother herself is agni.. Taam agnivarnaam..तां अग्निवर्णां .it would make more sense, and when she is Agni herself, she can manifest in any shape..

The dissent of an Advaitin to Saguna worship is understandable, but no one is permitted to call any other path as that of ignorance..

You can go from Palakkad straight to Delhi, Via Mumbai, Via Chennai or through  by many other routes..It is  the destination   that counts..

Of course heckling inter-religious,inter-procedure aproaches   is an entirely different  issue..

If we can understand Hindu faith properly, there can be no disputes..

We admit that the same Shankara who was the votary of Advaita philosophy where the specific Gods and rituals have little relevance, has worshipped in many shrine, has set up many shiva temples and Shakti temples in Kerala, and outside too.

He has penned Soundarya Lahari, and Vishnusahasranama Bhashyam and Thrisathi Bashyam,. He has authored some major tantra texts, andhas composed innumerable Stotras on Vishnu, Shiva, Devi, Ganesha, Skanda, Dakshinamurthi.. the list is very long..

He saw reason in all the six mathas.. Sauram,Vaishnavam, Saktham, Saivam, Kaumaram and Ganapthyam and integrated and validated all these.. He realized that Hinduism is like a huge garden, a huge orchard with lot of fruits and foliage.

Every believer can pluck flowers and fruits according to his own preferences,tastes. He can remain in his  level of understanding of the Supreme Being and worship deities or entities   of his own choice..

Hearing of His glory, Singing of His glory, Meditating on Him, Service at the feet of His and His devotees, offering him flowers and praises, doing pranams, acting as his slave, or offering friendship to Him and ultimately offering himself to God.. all are ways to reach Him..स्मरणं कीर्तनं विष्णो स्मरणं पादसेवनम् अर्चनं वन्दनं दास्यं सख्यं आत्मनिवेदनम्; so says Bhagavatam...

There are no P hd.holders  or unlettered people in HInduism.. If anyone thinks he is the lone P hd holder.. it is simply sad...We can worship God in whatever way we like, but we will be incurring sin if we think any other mode, or any other deity than our favourite deity is wrong or bad...

This should be the spirit...
