In Hinduism, all the gods and goddesses are considered worship-worthy. Weekly days are also fixed for the worship of each deity. It is also mentioned in the scriptures that how the deities should be installed and worshipped in the house. Astrologer Radhakant Vats told us that there are some gods in Hinduism whose worship is considered forbidden. Installing the idols of these gods and goddesses in the house is neither considered auspicious nor is there any provision for their worship in the Sanatan tradition. Let us know the reason behind this.
Why is Lord Indra not worshipped?
According to the scriptures, Indra is not the name of any deity but Indra is a title given to the king of the gods. Whenever a deity is chosen as the king according to his efficiency, he is called Indra. Indra means the ruler of the gods. The deity sitting in Indra's place keeps changing from time to time, just like the king of the kingdom changes. This is why Indra is not worshipped.
Why is Brahmadev not worshipped?
A myth related to Brahma says that once during a yagya, Brahma did not wait for Maa Saraswati and replaced his wife with someone else, after which Maa Saraswati cursed Brahma to not be worshipped in the universe. However, there is also a story that when Lord Shiva cut off the fifth head of Lord Brahma due to his arrogance, at the same time Lord Shiva cursed Brahma to be unworshipable.
Why is Yamraj not worshipped?
There is no mythological story behind the worship of Yamraj, but there is logic in the scriptures. The scriptures say that when a deity is worshiped, we see that deity or feel that the deity is around us and receive his blessings. Since Yamraj is the god of death, if he is worshiped, he can only give death in return for devotion because he is under his control. Therefore, worship of Yamraj is forbidden.
