Venugopal: i have taken instructions the tinthakars are embodiment of perfection in terms of how they have lived their lives by the jain idols in general of physical and material pursuits. when you reach that level of perfection, then you are http://worshipped.in other words, humans who have attained the status of divinity and therefore worshipped as gods and not as creator gods.

what has been articulated till now is the general view that there may be imperfection and there may be problems in the manner in which a religion worships and conducts itself. and the remedy lies in state intervention. I am opsing an opposite view that is, in fact, that state intervention in religion has actually resulted in the introduction of politics into religion, which corrupts both the state and the religion.
