Hinduism: What Really Happened in India – M. M. Ninan 161 another part into the earth. With the third part of the flower, he created the skies. The earth was bare. Brahma set to work. He created grass, flowers, trees and plants of all kinds. To these he gave feeling. Next, he created the animals and the insects to live on the land. He made birds to fly in the air and many fish to swim in the sea. To all these creatures, he gave the senses of touch and smell. He gave them power to see, hear and move.”
Hinduism: What Really Happened in India – M. M. Ninan Chapter Ten ICONS, IMAGES AND IDOLS Introduction of idols into the Indian scene is not surprising as similar introduction of idols came into the rest of the Catholic Churches as well. The theology of idols is same as the theology of icons. Only the nomenclatures are different. Both arose out of the necessity of translating concepts into visible symbolism. The symbols become idols only when symbols are confused with the realities they represent. In this chapter I quote the theological justification of idols or icons from both the Catholic Churches and Hindu Sanadhana Dharma. Roman Catholic Church along with all other Catholic Churches have gone into idolatory. Protestant Churches have been a reaction to this. However in principle they have simply replaced visible and tangible symbols with more volatile and intangible symbols. From the lofty ideals of the Word, how did India became idolatrous? Early Vedanta teachings do not envisage idol worship or worship of lower gods. 162
