IDOL WORSHIP
by Ibrahim Sheik on Jun 24, 2007 04:31 PM

QUESTION:
Why did MOhammed destroy all the idols in Kabah in Mecca....??
ANSWER:
Pure Hinduism does not Promote or encourage Idol Worship..
1) Meaning of OM:
I read an article from Arya Samaj a Hindu Org, which gives 100 meanings for the word OM. One of the meaning is Formless. If the meaning is true then why do we call hindu gods starting with om. om Shiva, om vinayaga, om narayana etc. Which means Formless Shiva, Formless Vinayaga or Formless Narayana. If the meaning of Om is true then Vinayaga should not have a form. I think that it is just an artistic expression that people had given to Idols and it may not be true.

Hindu gods, want to call them as FORMLESS but Mis-interpreted Hindus give it a form as per their wish... IRONIC ????
