dont you have your parents or grandparents photos with you and pray before it daily? In the same, in hinduism the god is aroopee (no form) the forms are created by us to our convenience/like (just like the food served on the table and you have interest on few items and have great interest on one item)and give a name (as you name your new born)and start loving it. When you start possessing it, it becomes prayer and remains immortal in your mind. God has never said you come here and go there where I will give you extra grace. These are man made depending on state of his mind. It is foolish to decry the religion for people short sightedness.
