THREAD: Why is Indian #Constitution only for Religions & not Dharmas?

#Religion is not #dharma
#Temple is not #Mandir
#Prayer & #Worship is not #Pooja
#God is not #Bhagwaan
#Idol is not #Murti

This is exactly why #Places of Worship Act is totally WRONG

You are not Swa+tantra = Self Governance, if native population is not represented in the document.

Several Indian dharmic non-translatables are dumbed down to Abrahamic streamlining by interpretation in the ill-equipped English language.

Elected Govt has to dance to the tunes of Vote bundles.
Judiciary can adhere max to what's written in the Constitution.
Guess what? It has no space for 4 Indian Dharmas. It is made for Religions of Foreign Origin.

A short thread on whether “bhinna or khandit” Murtis can be worshipped or not.
#Murtipuja
So.. as far as shastra goes, “bhinna or khandit” murti must not be worshipped. Ideally.
However, there are certain other interesting things which have happened in the past.

Many years ago, Rani Rashomani was heartbroken as the priest of the Radhakanta temple accidentally dropped the #murti of Shri Krishna.
The shastras are pretty much unanimous in avoidance of the worship of a broken image/murti.
