Gemstone Deity Idols

What is an Idol Worship? Why Do We Worship Idols?

Idol worship has been an integral part of the ancient culture of India. It is one of the means to connect one’s self to the divine. The religious and the spiritualists worship the Divine ‘through’ the deity idol. When you energise a stone shaped into a form of the divine, that stone no longer remains the stone but assumes the form of the deity.

Significance of Idol Worship

The essential part of idol worship is that it engages the mind. Worshipping an idol can also be said to be a form of meditation as the devotee focuses on a form of the Divine. The deity idol is the archa-vigraha, an incarnation of the Divine in a phenomenal form that can easily be seen by us. The Divine presents Himself in the deity form so that we, with our limited sense power, can perceive His variegated forms. In the Puranas and the Vedas, the Supreme Lord or any divine deity is said to manifest in the visible form through material elements like stone, wood, paint, gold, silver and gemstone.

The idols are made of natural materials such as wood, stone, metals and gemstones. Of these, the gemstone idols are the most powerful because they are made of natural minerals vibrant with certain cosmic frequencies and colours. In the Bhagavad Purana (Shrimad Bhagavatam) it is said that all the kings used to have a gemstone in the centre of their helmets or crown. This gemstone was the source of brilliance, intelligence and insight. The stone received power from the sun. The sunlight passing through the gem in contact with the body illuminated all the seven Chakras in their body.

The deity idol of a natural gemstone represents the sacred geometry of that deity. Various Deity idols have varied characteristics and symbols such as weapons, articles, and animals/birds as vehicles with specific significance depicted along with them and carries divine energies of the deity. Deity idols of gemstones symbolise cosmic powers and forces of nature. They carry spiritual, philosophical as well as scientific significance.

We at Rudra Centre offer a variety of deity idols made of natural gemstones. The greatest advantage or benefit of gemstone idols is that you receive a combined power of both; the cosmic energy of the mineral (gemstone) and the divine vibes of the deity. One can worship a gemstone deity idol by lighting up a diya and offering incense fumes, offering flowers, fruit and sweet offerings. Or one can simply meditate sitting in the room wherein the gemstone idol is placed. Meditation on the deity brings in more positive energy, and as a result, your subtle body (mind) and gross body (the five senses) are all purified.
