00:00Sir, what is the right form of worship in Hinduism?
00:04I too have a little Krishna form in my room.
00:08I have a Buddha form as well. I have a Shiva form as well.
00:11And I have a big picture, as you all know, of Saint Kabir.
00:15The purpose is to be reminded of something beyond their faces.
00:19Instead, if I look at the form itself as the final,
00:22then I am deluding myself and also doing injustice to their memory.
00:27So, the moment I look at the face of Shri Krishna,
00:31or even the flute, or the morpang, the peacock feather,
00:34I should immediately be reminded of the Bhagavad Gita.
00:38That's what. That's the purpose of the Krishna form.
00:41If I look at Krishna and immediately the verses of Gita do not start floating in my mind,
00:48if that song does not immediately spontaneously arise when I look at Shri Krishna,
00:53then I am being unfair to Shri Krishna.
00:55Who is Shri Krishna? Not a person, but the giver of the Gita.
