THIRD EYE
Q. What is third eye or spiritual eye?
A. Third eye is not anything physical. It is just the attaining of wisdom which can enable one to see things far and in a spiritual way.
Q. Why do the Hindus worship God in so many ways?
A. If God is infinite, methods of His worship can be infinite too. Besides, like other creedal religions which have fixed ways of worship, and which may not suit all the followers, Hinduism does not object to varieties of worship so that people of different stages can find their own suitable methods.
Q. Sometimes we see that the Shivaalaya is built outside the main temple. Why is this?
A. Hindus believe that Lord Shiva resides on the Kailas, mountain, not in any house and that a structural temple is not necessary to establish this deity.
Q. Why do some of the Hindu deities have more than the usual number of head and hands?
A. This helps us to comprehend that Great Deity has innumerable heads, hands feet and eyes extended everywhere (Gita 13:14). Many heads and hands, etc., of a deity help us to think His all-pervading nature.
Q. Why are the Hindu Gods married?
A. In order to sublimate the institution of marriage, Hindu Gods are married; and this sublimation of marriage will build a strong foundation of family life, want of which is bringing unending trouble in Western families.
