SrI:
NamO Narayana:

Dear Sri Keshava Prasad:

AdiyEn shall try to address with adiyEn's few
Cents worth perspective.

The Vedas, as explained by our Azhwars and
Poorvachariyars, is very clear on who the
Paramathma is. It is clearly established that
Paramathma is Sriya:Pathi Sriman Narayana and 
all "others" are Jivas.

On Archa Vigraham:

Our Poorvachariyars have also established that
Sriya:Pathi Sriman Narayana takes cares of us
And HE shows himself in 5 forms:

Para form       at Sri Vaikuntam
Vyuha form      at Sheerabdhi 
Vibhava form    the various Avatars he takes to protect us
Antharyami form being inside "everyone" &
Archa form      again to help us worship him in various forms.

It is quiet possible only Visistadvaitha philosophy could
have explained the Kalyana Gunas of Paramatma and his 5 forms.

The other "deities" as you mentioned can have only one
Relevance that Sriya:Pathi Sriman Narayana is Antharyami
in such deities and that?s it.

As various interpretations emerged on the Vedas, "sanctity"
for "other deities" came into practice and has also gained
acceptance. At the same, it is also sad, that even worship
today has majorly become materialistic and hence we encounter
some kind of ridicule from people of other faiths.

The knowledgeable members of our group will be of help
in establishing how Advaita was an important cause in
the interpretation of Vedas, in such a way, that "other
Deities"; practices have become part of "worship".

However, You can be rest assured that our Azhwars, Bashyakaarar,
Swami Desikan and other Poorvachariyars have taken tremendous
pains to explain the Vedas clearly and help poor Jivas like us
to understand and follow the Sri Sampradayam. It is Sriya:Pathi
Sriman Narayana who is the Ultimate - the Paramatma and all others
are Jivas and our only aim should be to reach Paramapadam and
perform Thiruvadi Kaimkaryam.
