Shree Krishna Idol

Shree Krishna, the all-attractive-one; Megh-varna, the one with the color-of-clouds; Go-pal, Murli-manohar, who steals hearts by the melody of his flute; and Madan-Mohan who can mesmerize Cupid himself with His beauty.

The ever enchanting Krishna wields his magic, in this little well-crafted brass figurine, where he is shown in rapture with his flute (Murli). It is said that when he plays the flute, in Vrindavan, a forest, all the gopis or young girls are so dazzled by his charm and the beauty of his music that they are lost in the raas or flavour of its mystical joy. There are of course endless tales of his childhood, the most popular one being where he teased all the mothers, by stealing butter. He was loved all the more for his naughty tricks. Bring home this Murli Manohar statue to add to the decor of your aesthetic space or even keep in your temple for prayers, as you partake of his eternal Leela or worldly play.

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, v 55-7), 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.
