Should temple statues be replaced by human beings?

[You say that the statue in the temple indicates the human form. Do you mean that the statue should be replaced by a human being?]

Your question is twisted. I never said that the statue in the temple represents any general human being. I also said that the statue in the temple is not the form of a general human being. It is in the form of some special human being [human incarnation of God] like Rama, Krishna etc. If you really see Rama alive, you will not keep the statue of Rama in the temple. Will you not replace the statue by the actual Rama? You have misunderstood My interpretation of statues.
