This is very common in the tradition of the Shankaracharyas (and elsewhere). I used to put lots of posters of gods on my walls, but I wasn’t instructed to, and I didn’t know what association any of them might have with my mantra.  Yeah I always was curious if they had received such instruction--if they did my guess is it would be super secret and anathema to speak of. Having said that, I know a number of TMers who've learned the more complete Ishta worship. I had also been told that a small number of purusha men had been allowed to learn the cave practices which were done in complete darkness. This was just several years ago. But no one knows (or will say) anything about this. To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!' YAHOO!
