Universality of Indian Thoughts

There is often a criticism of the idol worship. This is since there is little understanding about the intent and purpose. Idols are manifests of ideals. They atre adored and worshiped as they depict most if not all elements of Godhood. Unlike most others, the Indian thought goes to assume each and every piece of creations as manifests of the divine. The worship is at long last not that of idol but the spirit divine (Atman).
