Answer
Lord Vitthal (Vithoba) is worshipped as a compassionate and accessible form of Lord Krishna who embodies supreme devotion and unconditional love. According to legend, Vitthal stands on a brick with hands on his waist, waiting eternally for his devotees symbolizing God's patience and readiness to accept sincere devotion regardless of caste, creed, or social status. Vitthal worship emphasizes bhakti (devotion) over ritualistic practices, making spirituality accessible to all. The deity is particularly revered in the Varkari tradition, which promotes equality, social reform, and devotional singing, making Vitthal a symbol of inclusive spirituality.
