So the statement that gaNapati worship is not part > of Hinduism cannot be true. ------------ can you provide justification for the above paragraph? I would like to know the following (i) the exact verses in the jayAkhya & sanatkumAra samhitas mentioning what you are quoting (ii) What the "Worship" entails (iii) whether the installation of the vinAyaka idol is a part of the dEvatha installation around the temple, or a separate ritual for vinAyaka (iv) your data sources that lead you to say that the practice of installation of divine vigrahas of AzvhArAchAryAs replaced what used to be, in your opinion, a practice of installation of vinAyaka in the temples. adiyEn rAmAnuja dAsan, varadhan ------------------------ Yahoo!
