⚙️ ️Grammar

🔥 Traditional Hindu Meaning

In the literal, cultural sense, this phrase refers to the Vedic fire ritual, or Yajña.
During such a ceremony:

The Śāligram stones — black fossil stones from the Gandaki River (Nepal) — are believed to be natural manifestations of Lord Vishnu.
They are not man-made but self-formed (svayambhū), with spiral marks symbolizing Vishnu’s divine emblems.

In a Yajña:

Thus the phrase means:

“When a Yajña is performed, some install a thousand Shāligrams, some ten thousand, others even a hundred thousand.”
It describes the scale of devotion and the magnitude of the sacrifice.

💎 2. The BK (Brahma Kumaris) Spiritual Interpretation

Within the Brahma Kumaris spiritual teachings, the same words are used in a symbolic and inner sense.

🔥 The Yajña

💎 The Shāligrams

In other words:

God, through the Yajña of knowledge, creates thousands of divine souls — spiritual Shāligrams — who will later be worshipped as deities.

🕊️ Integrated understanding

Aspect Traditional Hindu sense BK Spiritual sense
Yajña Physical fire ritual The sacrificial fire of knowledge
Shāligram Sacred fossil stone of Vishnu Pure, divine souls formed by God
“Banāte hain” To install or consecrate stones To form or transform souls
Numbers (1000, 10,000, etc.) Scale of ritual, merit Scale of spiritual service and transformation

🌼 Spiritual synthesis

The sentence carries a double resonance:

The verb “banānā” thus shifts in meaning — from placing stones in the outer ritual to moulding souls in the inner one.
