Importance of Idol worship: Idols are not the idle fancies of sculptors, but shining channels through which the heart of the devotee is attracted to and flows towards God.Though the image is worshipped, the devotee feels the presence of the Lord in it and pours out his devotion unto it. Regular worship, Puja and other modes of demonstrating our inner feeling of recognition of Divinity in the idol unveils the Divinity latent in it. This is truly a wonder and a miracle.The picture comes to life.The idol speaks.It will answer your questions and solve your problems.The God in you has the power to awaken the latent Divinity in the idol.The lives of Mirabai, Sant Tukaram, Shri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Shri Yogananda are a few instances to prove the point.They proved beyond doubt that idol worship has its own brighter side and through simple faith and intense devotion one can realize God through it.
Idols are the "finite representation of the Infinite".As per Vishnu Samhita (ch 29,v55-7),persuasively endorses the use of imagery (idols) and puts it: "Without a form how can God be mediated upon? If (He is) without any form, where will the mind fix itself? When there is nothing for the mind to attach itself to,it will slip away from meditation or will glide into a state of slumber.Therefore the wise will meditate on some form, remembering,however,that the form is a superimposition and not a reality."

Lord Bhairav, or Kaala Bhairava, is a fierce manifestation of Lord Shiva associated with the concept of annihilation. This statue intricately depicts Bhairava adorned with twisted serpents serving as earrings, bracelets, anklets, and a sacred thread (yajnopavita). He dons a tiger skin and a ritual apron composed of human bones, reinforcing his role as a powerful purveyor of destruction and transformation.
One of the distinguishing features of this statue is the inclusion of Bhairava's divine vehicle, the dog (Shvan), emphasizing his role as a protector and a guardian.
Bhairava is known to have eight distinct manifestations, collectively referred to as Ashta Bhairava. These manifestations are:
Each of these manifestations represents different aspects of Bhairava's energy and divine duties. These eight forms make Bhairava a multifaceted deity, covering various elements of protection, destruction, and guidance.
In Hindu astrology, Bhairava is conceptualized as the guru or teacher of the planetary deity Shani (Saturn). Saturn is known for being a challenging planet that tests one’s patience and resolve. Worshipping Bhairava is believed to mitigate the adverse effects of Saturn, providing a form of spiritual relief and protection.
In Tamil culture, Bhairava is known as Bhairavar or Vairavar and is considered a village guardian (Grama devata). He safeguards devotees in all eight directions (ettu tikku), emphasizing his role as a comprehensive protector. In Sinhalese culture, he is known as Bahirawa, a deity who protects treasures.
Idols like the Lord Bhairav Statue are not merely decorative items; they are channels through which the divine presence can be felt. The physical form of the idol serves as a focal point for devotion and meditation, allowing devotees to pour out their hearts in worship.
Regular worship and rituals before the idol can unveil the latent divinity within it. Such practices have been known to bring the idol to life for many devotees, making it a source of answers, guidance, and divine intervention.
According to Vishnu Samhita (ch. 29, v. 55-7), the use of imagery in the form of idols is strongly endorsed for meditation. The scripture argues that having a form helps the mind to focus and prevents it from slipping into distraction or slumber.
In summary, the Lord
