    Re: Puja Murtis

    Namaste,

    No you should not forget the Leela behind the Murti. It is nice to have Durga and Kali on your altar. But do not use Durga as a Kali Murti. But sometimes, even though we know the very famous forms and attributes of Durga and Kali as common, there are some forms which are not so common. So, there are some who can help you, because in fact there ARE forms of Kali that look like Durga and visa versa.

    The murti is like a telephone with a phone number. If you use Durga, She will Come. If you use Kali, She will Come. If you use Durga - especially knowing so - as Kali, Durga will come but Kali will visit you later but not in the Murti. It is your choice, but I advise that since you can easily acquire a wonderful Kali Murti, do so. But never, never consider yourself a Kali Pujari. You are Her devotee, Her child. You can do your home puja. But a Kali Pujari is very, very "special" - and it takes a very special person. You are not that. Yet.
