About this listen
Why do people worship idols?
Why does idol worship stubbornly persist despite many centuries of prejudice, bigotry and violence against it?
Can such worship help us find our true purpose in life and ultimately attain peace and prosperity?
In Idols, a companion volume to the best-selling Dharma, your favourite fictional characters are back, along with some new ones, to explore the essence and true meaning of idolatry.
In this insightful and thought-provoking book, Amish and Bhavna tackle burning questions about idol worship through simple, varied and astute interpretations of myths and religious texts. They unearth the symbolic essence of Ishta Devata, dive into the benefits of bhakti and tackle the importance of religion for people and society. In the process, they reveal the expansive philosophy behind the practice and how it can lead us to experience—intellectually, ideologically and, most importantly, in our hearts—the Oneness of God, through transformation, acceptance and love.

Hindu worshipping explained succinctly
First of all: 10/10 on Narration
This is my first book from Amish. This impressed me. He has explained the Hindu worshipping of gods in a very precise and succinct way. There are detours to other religions such as Zoroastrian or Christianity or Islam or Buddhism Sikhism and all the other religions. Truly amazing and worth listening/reading

Not to the point
Lot of topics taken and discussed but a strong case for idolatory is not made. However, I liked the way many Gods and Goddesses were discussed and many stories from mythologies throughout the world were told.
