Lahiri Mahasaya and the Mystery of Idol Worship | The Kashi Vishwanath Episode

Some people oppose idol worship, yet the Bhagavad Gita and the tradition of saints teach us that there are many paths to reach God.

👉 This truth was beautifully explained by Lahiri Mahasaya through a remarkable incident.
A Bengali gentleman, who strongly opposed idol worship, once came to seek initiation. Lahiri Mahasaya directed him first to visit the Kashi Vishwanath Temple.

When he reached the temple, he witnessed an astonishing sight — instead of the Shiva Lingam, he saw Lahiri Mahasaya himself seated there.

🌸 This profound experience revealed to him that opposing idol worship was meaningless.
Connection with God arises from inner devotion and feeling — whether through an image or without it.
