the murti wiki article really downplays the belief which is widespread in hindu bhakti in my understanding that the murti is a literal form of incarnation of the deity, hence its often just called "the deity". it seems to be a response to criticism of idol worship. instead the article seems to pretend that a catholic like belief exists in regard to images of the divine. maybe the sources I'm reading are too traditional though? in one part of the article it says that its understood that brahman has no form, but many believe that the brahman has both no form and infinite forms/manifestations. I wonder what the Hindi, Tamil, etc versions of the article have to say!

its so funny how many cows are given to the brahmanas in sanskrit hindu literature as an act of thanksgiving. absolutely absurd numbers.

"we come from God and unto God we return". yet so many religions have qualms with the second part, or interpret it loosely...

oh my other qualm with shankara is I dont consider the Brahmans personality (ishvara) to be illusory or lower than brahman. although maybe shankara doesnt think the illusion part and its just suggested by his detractors?

it bothers me when people call shankara a buddhist, the buddha didnt believe in souls and didnt teach about a supreme deity.

I guess I criticize vaishavist vedantic and puranic thought so much because I want something thats perfect considering ive been called to vaishnavism. it would be easier to be a Kashmir shaivi as I initially wanted but God wanted me to be a vaishnavite.
