Only Sanatan Dharma Hindus worship idols right? And the Arya Samaj dont worship idols right?

Dharma is very profound meaning. It means one抯 own duties in individual sense, and globally it means the universal law by which we all are bound together. It is that we all should follow for us all, although it may be different for each of us. It is that which all the things in the universe follow

Actually Hindus or vedhantis doesnt actually pray to that idol, theres reason why we are making an figure and bath it with a lot of herbs and so on...actually we are making our mind easier to focus towards god...thats all...How u can pray n focus something  that u cant see? thats the reason...Hindu god;s has appeared towards yogis before this so we can get their figure right now...Jai Kaalee!!

Hinduism VS Islam (in form of worship) - MUST watch for all Hindus to understand the Nature of God (Bhagawan).

According to Hindus, Nirguna Brahman should not be worshipped at all. Nirguna Brahman is NOT object of worship, but divine truth or plane of superconsciousness, to be "Realised" or "tuned in to" with Raja Yoga, Jnana Yoga, Karma Yoga.
