| | Tantrik Worship and Christian Liturgy |
| | The spirit of the worship of `Mother Goddess' in the Sakta system of Tantrikism is reflected in the superior worship or `Hyperdulia' of the Blessed Virgin in the Roman Church, even though the Church does not accord her the status of a goddess. | | | As the Christian Liturgy speaks of the presence of the Lord in the Eucharist, the Preisdent and the Church, the Tantriks also hold that Divinity is present in the Enlivened Image, the Officer and the Temple. | | | The systole and diastole of Tantrik Worship are enacted in the Temple as those of the Liturgy performed in the Church. |

| | ANIMAL WORSHIP (Jewish Encyclopedia) - BibleWiki |
| | The third cause of the religious veneration of animals is the desire to have acknowledged deities, as distinguished from mere demons, represented by some visible, tangible object or image, which may impress the imagination and excite faith and devotion. | | | The kinship between national or tribal gods and their worshipers is a familiar belief. | | | The meaning of this ceremony is apparently twofold: The tribe or clan ratifies its union or covenant with its animal kindred; and, by partaking of the flesh, its members derive some communion with the supernatural life, which is an attribute of the sacred animal. |

| | Thus, Hindu image worship is a form of iconolatry, in which the symbols are venerated as putative sigils of divinity, as opposed to idolatry, a charge often levied (erroneously) at Hindus. | | | Worship of said deities is often done through the aid of pictures or icons ( murti) which are said not to be God themselves but conduits for the devotee's consciousness, markers for the human soul that signify the ineffable and illimitable nature of the love and grandeur of God. | | | The various gods and avatars that are worshipped by Hindus are understood as different forms of One truth, sometimes seen as beyond a mere God and as a formless Divine Ground ( Brahman), akin but not limited to monism, or as one monotheistic principle like Vishnu or Shiva. |

| | This action was defended on the principle on which image worship, whether among the heathen or Christians, has generally been defended, namely, that the worship does not terminate on the image but on the object that it represents. | | | To eliminate this handicap, his successor Emperor Constantine V Copronymos sought to have images condemned by the Church and to impose iconoclasm as a duty of conscience as well as the obligation of a citizen. | | | Indeed, "the honor rendered to an image passes to its prototype," and "whoever venerates an image venerates the person portrayed in it" [St. Basil, De Spiritu Sancto 18,45; and Councils of Nicaea II, Trent, Vatican II SC 126/LG 67]. |
