Sri Matre Namaha.
It pains me when one doesn't follow the Murthi Bheda in worship.
Recently I visited one Maha Kali temple in Vijayawada, a City in south India.
The goddess is called Maha Kali, the idol is of Dakshina Kali but the face is painted yellow, the yantra installed is a Sri Chakra meru.
I admit the fact that all forms of God are manifestation of one Para Brahman, but when we worship one form of god, it is important that we stick to the agama sastra.
When they say Maha Kali temple, it must house the Maha Kali idol as per the Dhyana Sloka and not Dakshina Kali. It must also have the Maha Kali Yantra and not Sri Chakra.
This is not the only temple in South India with these differences, there are several other temples. When one wants to worship devi as Tripurasundari they better worship her form, but why should they mix everything and anything. Do they mean to say that Maha Kali has no indentity of her own?
Sri Matre Namaha.
