Dare we worship god as the pure child ?
But in their highest act of ceremonial worship the two sects differ radically. The Sivaite takes his white stone pebble, the conventional phallic emblem which he always carries with him, and while muttering his mantra, sprinkles it with water and applies to it cooling Bilva leaves. Owing to its simplicity and cheapness, this rite is much in vogue with the ignorant lower classes. The Vishnu rite is less degrading but more childish. It consists of an elaborate and costly worship of the temple image of Vishnu, or more often of Rama, or Krishna. The image is daily awakened, undressed, bathed, decked with rich robes and adorned with necklaces, bracelets, crowns of gold and precious stones, fed with choice kinds of food, honored with flowers, lights, an incense, and then entertained with vocal and instrumental music, and with dancing by the temple girls of doubtful virtue, consecrated to this service.
As Krishna is generally worshipped in the form of a child-image, his diversion consists largely in the swinging of his image, the spinning of tops, and other games dear to the heart of the child.

God is love . "But we won't let that stop us " , should
be the motto of people who write such comic-book trash
as that above . They would not recognize love when
it is the hearts of others , why would they think
that they could begin to teach or spread it ?
That "girls of doubtful virtue" dance
in the service of God ? What pure and
unadulterated lies are these?
Ignorance is bliss , but it does get rather
tedious down thru the centuries. And why do they
want to so corner~the~market on it writing
such garbage?
Who are the real Barbarians Fredrick ?
And who the true bringers of Love and Light ?
Who are the true children of God ?
