- A yogi is recommended to meditate upon the Lord's neck. The Lord's transcendental form can either be meditated upon in the mind or placed in a temple in the form of a statue and decorated in such a way that everyone can contemplate it
- An advanced devotee accepts the Deity in the temple as the Supreme Personality of Godhead. He does not see any difference between the original form of the Lord and the statue, or arca form of the Lord, in the temple
- Are we wasting our time by decorating a doll, a statue, and we are struggling so hard to establish a temple of Krsna? No
B
- Because God is everywhere. So He's also in statue. God is everywhere. How can you say that He's not in statue? He's also in statue. So it is my devotion, it is my qualification, that I can induce that statue to speak with me
- Because there is not potential difference, one gets the same result by worshiping the statue of the Lord or the Lord Himself. This is the science of Krsna consciousness
- By doing this (gather some flowers, leaves & decorate & have some picture or statue of God, offer Him some fruits, flower), he gets the highest perfection of life: no more coming into this material world & suffer all these nonsense. This is our practice
T
- The Deities of Radha & Krsna, Laksmi & Narayana, Rama & Sita are very attractive to devotees, so much so that when they see the statue decorated in the temple of the Lord they become fully absorbed in thought of the Lord. That is the state of liberation
- The description of the transcendental form of the Lord is exactly represented in the arcā-vigraha, the statue in the temples
- There are many devotees who keep a statue of the Lord in a small box and carry it with them everywhere; every morning they worship the Lord in the box. The Supreme Lord, Kesava, or the PG, Krsna, is not bound by any measurement of our calculation
- There is no potential difference between the form of the Lord whom we worship and the form of the Lord in the temple. One should not think that one is worshiping a doll or statue of the Lord, even if others consider it to be a statue
- They (Buddhists) have got Lord Buddha's statue. They offer lamps, and they sit down. They read Buddha philosophy. It is exactly Hindu temple
- This is the vision of a devotee whose devotional service is in highest stage of bhava, or love of Godhead (He doesn't see difference between God's form and the statue in the temple) whereas a neophyte's worship in the temple is a matter of routine duty
- Those who imagine the form are called iconoclasts. During the Hindu-Muslim riots in India, some Hindus would go to the Moslem mosque and would break statues and images of God, and the Moslems would reciprocate in like manner
- To think that the body of the spiritual master consists of material ingredients is offensive. Atheists think that devotees foolishly worship a stone statue as God and an ordinary man as the guru
