Dr. Narender Reddy : Thanks for your suggestion to stay away from "attributing limited things to limitless ". Archai (Consecrated images are some thing unique . Like the Lord's AvathAra Rahsyams (Six points ) have to be understood properly so that we do not go astray , the power of Consecrated Moorthys at the temple have to be disengaged from the material in which the Lord has descended . It has been said that the Cow possessing milk in all its limbs releases the nourishing milk thru its udders only . So does the consecrated Moorthys release BhagavAn's saannidhyam and KaaruNyam to those who seek refuge thru the Moola and Uthsava BhErams created by Rishis (Aarsham ) , the Lord (Svyam Vyaktham ), humans (Maabusham ) and DEvAs for worship - The SaaLagrama Moola BhErams as at SrIrangam , ThiruveLLUr are yet another unique forms , where the SaaLagramams themselves are pervaded by SrIman NaarAyaNan . Once we think of Ph and other things , we will be way out of track . There are however rigorous prescriptions for selection of the granite or metal or wood , which are known to the Sthapathis and Aagama experts.
