The one takeway from the Indonesia abhisekham...repeal the ASI rules that prevent rejuvenation of murthys in temples. Restart worship... Tourists welcome but first & foremost temples are places of worship of Hindus.
If worship has been interrupted due to invasion mutilation of murthies etc the right to rejuvenate the temple and restart worship must rest with the Hindus. This is consistent with the establishment of the deity as a person.
A devata who is invoked in a temple does stay for a long time in the premises even in the absence of jeevanodharana - in the Murthy then the gopura kalasa and finally flag staff.. while waiting for rejuvenation three things we can do in any temple that has no worship
1. Light a lamp in a designated space 2. Do pradhakshina to the complex 3. Pray and do a namaskara to the deity even from outside. Some day the kumbabhisheka will happen deiva chodhita:. If the matter goes to a court there is some evidence to argue that there was worship. ,🙏🏼
Had seen the impressive pic but didn't realise that this was a living example of what I ve been referring in the previous tweets 🙏🏼
