Deities are made of the earth element. By worshipping them, one connects to the all pervading Existential energy. Through various forms of deities, one easily relates to the formless Existence thereby transcending from the form to the formless Energy. In the ashrams worldwide, beautiful deities are consecrated, instilled with the Existential energy by the Master and worshipped with joy and sincerity by all.
