Required clarifications

As I feel this forum is full of members with rational views, I want to get different reasons for some of the following practices. I was told some reasons and I have my own different explanations but I want to know whether I am correct or not.
1. In my house, we wont worship idol or picture of Ram alone, only Ram-Sita or the Ram Pattabhishekam idol or picture. Is it a common practice? If so what's the reason?
2. We are not allowed to do pooja for krishna playing flute or the one in which krishna renders gita gyan for arjun in Chariot (battlefield). What can be the explanation?
3. Why doing pooja for yoga narasimha and not lakshmi narasimha?
4. Why we are not allowed to do poojas for siva lingam in house?
All these are my entire family rituals, I am not saying it as an universal practice. So if u feel the practice is wrong, u r welcome, but state the fact.

Note: I think it is not against the forum rules, if so then the thread can be closed.

Interesting post😉

I would also like to know the reasons bhind

these practices

Like u know we aren't allowed to have

Aandi Murugan or Palani Murugan at home

The reason said is

As it is the form of Murugan when he has renounced the world

We might end up so too if he is worshiped

Though I don't know whether it is true

Good one Mano. Yes, I was told that we can have Raja alangar palani Murugan in house but not aandi murugan.

@Ramya the reasons I can find my understanding

@Shruthi: For Ram-Sita worship: Agreed. But I feel even Ram vigraha alone also has calmness and self-determination which I liked the most. But may be u r right that its a symbol of loneliness.
Yes, we also read only sundara kandam in pooja room. Agreed for the explanation.
krishna playing flute: I heard that it represents the detachment from the life. (I am not convinced with it)
Gita gyan: It is not what we should follow even though the situation is a battlefield?😕
For narasimha: The devas asked lakshmi to shant narasimhan. Pragalathan and lakshmi requested narasimhan to get out of anger and lord performed yoga to retain his calmness. So we have only yoga narasimha.

Yes, I understood ur point on shiva.
Yes, we can see sakthi mandir exist separately so as siva but vishnu-laxmi is almost together everywhere. I think in thirupati only there are in top hill and in bottom.
Thanks for the explanation shruthi.

Reg Saligram: It is the full form of god. If we perform pooja for the saligramam with perfection then we wont have rebirth. So unless we are so pure (including our thoughts), we should do pooja in house. Moreover, its a myth that if u start the worship u should not leave in between i.e. ur generation has to continue.

I think this may provide u more info

@Ramya in thirupathi though there is a Padmavati temple down hill, if I remember right ( It has been 5 years since I visited thirupati) the main garbagriha of Thirupathi also has Lord Venkatesha with Lakshmi Devi and Bhudevi

Thanks on info on Yoga Narasimha and Saligramam sight I will check

Yes shruthi, but the padmavathi thayar mandir is in thiruchanur.

About Shivling worship at home, I worship Pard Shivling every day. Its in the temple from few years. It's considered auspicious. Lord Shiva appeared as a huge infinite pillar of light when Brhmaji & Vishnuji were discussing about who is great. Later the pillar took form of Lord Shiva.

Thanks mnx12 for the info. We worship siva linga only in temple. Is there any significance of the material in which linga is made? Because I was denied from worshipping linga even made in shell.

Shiva Lingas are generally made us of stone, metal, mercury or other things like precious gems, wood, crystal, earth or transitory materials like ice.
Shivling is not only a block of substance or stone or other things instead it is a medium to connect with the Nirgun, Nirakar, formless God
Lord Rama himself had worshiped the Shiva Linga at the Rameshwaram and Ravana himself was a great devotee of the Linga and he worshiped a golden Linga for getting spiritual powers.
Regarding not allowing the worship, it depends on personal belief system.
