HOW SHOULD ONE DISPOSE OF A BROKEN KRISHNA MURTI
A question is asked : How should one dispose of a broken Krishna Murti when you can’t throw it in a river or bury it? It has toxic paint on it and I can’t pollute the ecosystem and of course can’t throw it in the garbage.
The answer to the question is in indirect way and for that one need to read the story of Thakur Shri Ramakrishna Paramhans narrated below.
In Dakshineswar temple which is near the bank of Ganga in West Bengal, India, Thakur Ramakrishna was a priest / poojari, use to do puja there ( a long story cut very short ). Along with Kali temple there are also other temples and among those temples was also a Shri Krishna temple.
Rani Rashmoni was an India businesswoman, Zamindar, philanthropist and the founder of the Dakshineshwar Maa Kali Temple in Kolkata.
The whole work and care of Dakshineshwar Maa Kali Temple was taken by Mathuranath son-in-law of Rani Rashmoni
Once when a leg of Krishna idol broke then Rani Rashmoni and Mathuranath was in state of confusion as to what to do with the idol and how to discard an idol whom they have worshipped for so many years.
They appealed all the knowledgeable pandits to give their verdicts on the broken leg idol of Lord Krishan. No one could give a satisfying judgment that could let Rani Rashmoni and Mathuranath take a peaceful decision until THAKUR RAMAKRISHNA CAME FORWARD AND RESOLVED THE DILEMMA AND ASKED RANI RASHMONI WOULD SHE ABANDON HER SON-IN-LAW IF HE BROKE A LEG ?
Thakur Ramakrishna himself mended the leg of the Lord Krishna idol and then kept the same in the temple.
When knowledgeable pandits made censorious comments on the ‘broken’ Krishna idol, young Sri Ramakrishna demonstrated a sensational and easy way of spiritual realization in a pure devotee-heart.
In the same way the native can also mend the broken Lord Krishna idol and re-paint it with love and devotion and place it back where it was. The painting and mending of the idol with a whole heat and devotion is like doing pooja of Lord Krishna.
It is a very nice way of presenting our love and respect towards our beloved GOD.
The native should learn a lesson from now onwards that she should not buy any product of such kind which have toxic paints and discourage such seller who are damaging our ecosystem.
