If you take the life initiation ritual as a model of knowledge, it is appreciated. The inert statue + life initiation (Prana Pratistha) indicates the living human being because the Lord comes in living human form. But if you say that the life initiation brings life in the statue, it should be condemned because the statue does not move even an inch. You cannot bring life in a dead body by this life initiation ritual.
