Sreemathe Ramanujaya Namaha:
If you think the Vigraham is only a symbol the go ahead and do all kinds of 
experiments. But we are not supposed to think that the Vigraham is the 
symbolic representation of Emperuman.
Also Maya does not mean a phenomenon which also obeys a set of laws which 
are verifiable. It means by definition the inconceivable power of the Lord. 
If it obeys a set of laws then, it is known only to the Lord. It cannot be 
verified by any other soul.
If in Particle Physics there is a limitation like the Heisenberg's 
Uncertainty Principle inbuilt in the physical way we try to enquire into 
matter and materiel phenomena, then the nature of soul, super soul and Maya 
cannot be inquired into, using physical tools. These tools are totally 
anadequate.
Vigraha Aradhanam is not mere physical exercise; it is a mental and supra 
mental effort by the soul to crave and seek the Grace of the Lord.
I draw attention here to the article writtten by Sriman M.K Sudersan about 
the souls being Stree by nature. Sthreetwam is attributed to souls not in 
physical manner. By nature they are totally dependent on Paramathma for 
everything and hence the sthreethwam. If we cannot know the gender of a 
foetus up till the 3rd month of pregnency, it does not mean it is sthree in 
nature. The mere absence  or non-formation of organs of reproduction, does 
not mean that the foetus is feminine in nature. It can be argued that it is 
neither masculine, nor feminine. (On another plane "Na Puman, Nasthree, 
Nashandobo" is how the Paramathman is described in the Upanishads). The DNA 
code is alive and working all the time and the gender is predetermined at 
the very first moment of the foetal formation. Maybe even before as the 
Hindu Philosophy says.
If we cannot even understand fully the Trigunathmaka Prakriti which follows 
a set of laws laid by the creator (which He Himself sometimes obeys when He 
is present as a person) using the same set of laws, how can we enquire into 
the nature of the Lord  who is inconceivable according to our Vedas (and His 
powers).
Adiiyen,
Ramanuja Dasan.
