> That's my whole point, call it mUrti. Fine with me. The word says exactly
what it is: having a concrete form.We worship the deity invoked. The
object of worship is the deity invoked in the mUrti. This in no way is
apolegetic or a 'neo' interpretation as alleged in another post in the
same thread. I salute to all who are proud to be Hindus,and are not
ashamed of it. But, at the same time let us be careful about the words we
use. It was also posted, "let's be proud of being polytheists". Now,
polytheism is not Vedas say. That's all. Regards-Narahari Achar
