Out of all the ways of creating a form of God, creating such a form has many benefits. For example, you can serve your manomayi murti without spending a penny or exerting any effort. You can create the physical characteristics (height, weight, features, complexion etc.) of your choice. In so doing, you will naturally be attracted to that form. Make the form come to life and dress your ishtdev the way you want. Adorn Them with jewellry studded with brilliant precious stones that are not found anywhere on this Earth. Feed Them the tastiest delicacies that you can think of. Change the age of your Deity any time you want. Watch the lilas they are performing or participate in them. Moreover, because the mind is engaged in doing all this, it will not run helter-skelter.
Due to all the convenience, along with the benefits, Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj advises to worship a manomayi murti of Shri Radha Krishna.
