	Murti - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Thus the murti is treated as the Deity of the Divine and regarded by Hindus and also by some Mahayana Buddhists during worship as points of devotional and meditational focus.
		Murtis are made according to the prescriptions of the Silpasastra (typically of the alloy Panchaloga) and then installed by priests through the prana pratishtha ('establishing the life') ceremony.
		Hindus argue that murti worship consists of veneration of the image or statue as the representative of the Divine, or as the "manifest presence" of the transcendent God, while idolatry objectifies divinity as the material object itself.

	Murti Summary
		A murti (also spelled murthi or murthy) is a deity or image used by Hindus and also by some Mahayana Buddhists during worship as points of devotional and meditational focus.
		Murti are made according to the prescriptions of the Silpasastra (typically of the alloy Panchaloga) and then installed by priests through the prana pratishtha ('establishing the life') ceremony.
		Murti worship is sometimes equated with idolatry; critics of this point of view argue that the Hindu concept of murti worship consists of veneration of the image or statue as representative of a higher ideal or principle, while idolatry objectifies divinity as the material object itself.

	Murti Pratishtha Ceremony - Shri Swaminarayan Mandir, London
		The scriptures implicitly say that whilst it is important that the murtis be consecrated by performing the correct rituals, it is more important that they are consecrated by a person who is himself the receptacle for God's unlimited grace.
		Whilst he himself performed the basic pratishtha rituals on the murtis of Bhagwan Swaminarayan, Gunatitanand Swami and Gopalanand Swami in the central sanctum, he asked Pujya Mahant Swami to do similar with Harikrishna Maharaj and Radha Krishna on the left, and Pujya Ishwarcharan Swami to do likewise with Ghanshyam Maharaj on the right.
		After the ceremonies, the curtain to the sanctum was closed and as everyone waited outside, the murtis were clothed in regal splendor and an annakut of hundreds of vegetarian dishes placed artistically before them.

	Heart of Hinduism: The Murti
		Worship of the murti, the sacred image, is central to Hinduism.
		The murti is compared to a post box that is authorised to accept mail on behalf of the central post office.
		Both practically and theologically, the murti may be considered to be God or the specific deity it represents.

	Murti Puja
		From the brilliant mind and soul of Adi Shankaracharya to the simple village farmer, murti puja, or image worship, is firmly entrenched in the daily lives of all Hindus through countless generations of fruitful worship.
		Murtis are to the Hindu worshipper what diagrams are to the geometrician.
		Here it suffices to say that, with the ancient Hindus murti puja was not left to be treated as an ignorant and useless practice fit only for the ignorant and spiritually immature; even the greatest visited mandirs, and worshipped murtis, and these thinkers did not do so blindly or unconsciously.

	Murti - Free Encyclopedia of Thelema
		Murtis are statues or images used as windows or points of devotional and meditational focus.
		Murti worship has been construed as idolatrous by many followers of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
		The Hindu belief of murti worship is far closer to that of the icon, and consists of veneration of the image or statue as representative of a higher ideal or principle rather than objectifying divinity as the material object itself.

	Sri Murthy vs Idolatry
		But those who see the spiritual form of the Deity in their souls' eyes, carry that impression as far as possible to the mind, and then frame an Emblem for the satisfaction of the material eye for continual study of the higher feeling are by no means idolatrous.
		In fact the principle of Sri Murti is the truth itself differently exhibited in different people according to their different phases of thought.
		Those who are, by circumstances and position, entitled to worship the Sri Murti in mind have with due deference to the temple institutions, a tendency to worship usually by sravana and kirtana and their church is universal and independent of caste and color.

		Murti’s book offers us simultaneously a biblical and a rational view of animals and their rights that is at once cogent, honest, and true.
		Using the Bible to advocate vegetarianism and an end to animal slavery is comparable to using the Bible to advocate human rights and the abolition of human slavery.
		Vasu Murti’s book is a powerful contribution to an increased understanding of animal rights within the religious community.

		The term murti is familiar to all Hindus and is used to indicate the various representations of God in our temples and homes.
		The term image is also used in place of murti and is an accurate indication of the form which it represents.
		Like a scripture consisting of words, a murti communicates knowledge about the Divine, and the viewer must be equipped with the necessary skills to "read" the meaning of the murti.
