if you invite them to sit then they are sitting so you wash their feet and mouths in the asana because they are sitting!and after doing mudra asana and invadir for altars.
Hare Krishna Dandvats Pranam. if you invited Goura Nitai to sit then they are sitting so it is good if you position yourself to place the asana on the side of the table to visualize our lords and thus invite them to sit wash their feet and mouths they are sitting it is not correct to sit behind swnhor Nitai! you have to look at your washing feet and look at your mouth as they are in the asana.
What I don’t understand is: after inviting the Lord to sit down on those seats near the offering plate, when it comes to offering the foot wash and acmana mouth wash, we should offer to guru and the deities on the altar rather than meditating they are sitting on the offered asanas near the bhoga?
That's what I thought also, but when I looked back at the video I saw the young lady looking up at the deities on the altar after she had invited them to sit down on the seats in front of her. So then when she's offering the mouthwash and foot wash, she's looking at the deities on the altar, not that they are sitting there in front of her in meditation. It's a technical thing I wonder about because usually I meditate that they are now on the seats, and I am offering items to them from that point of view, not looking back at the altar (Even though that would seem a lot easier because you can look at them physically. So that's why I wonder and I'm asking! Thanks) .
Pranam, prabhu. AGTSP Isn’t it alright to give Krishna yeast bread if it’s from wild yeast thats immediately offered after being freshly baked, unlike the store-bought bread? Also, letting chapati dough rest awhile before cooking makes them more digestible. And the same with letting pancake batter sit overnight before using it the next morning, and also you don’t have to use any baking powder at all..Furthermore, I don’t think South Indian devotees will stop offering Krishna Iddli or dosa. The ingredients seem to be sattvik and although fermented, freshly cooked. How are these really a problem? Thank you for your consideration.
text book cult behavior. emulating 16th century transgendered crossdressing insane Chaitanya. my favorite Prabhupada quote is where he says women like to be raped, Children can be beaten, blacks should be slaves and that he was 22 years old when he honeymooned his 11 year old child bride. what is yours?
I have seen non-traditional dressing in Swaminarayan temples also. They sometimes dress their deities in suits and ties, or some other Western attire. Lord Rama (Shree Kanak Bihari) wears a wristwatch quite frequently. This is why I appreciate the South Indian temples. Male deities (even Shivalingas) are dressed in dhotis, and goddesses wear beautiful pattu sarees. No deviation. Dhoti or saree in South India.
Srila Prabhupada's standards should be published and distributed to all temples. It's very much need for unification and peace. I am surprise that this hasn't been done yet or if it has then people aren't taking to it seriously. You are doing a valuable service and I hope this comes out as a success. Nice pictures of the various Deities. Hare Krishna.
Entharo Mahanubavulu Antharike Vanthanamulu ( Salutation to all Great Souls) almost 40 minutes I have been listening her dedication for Srila Prabupadda , its focus only buying big deity and worship. I am sure Srila Prabupada met thousands of Sains and Sanyasi and identify appropriate method worshipping Deity. Being senior member of ISKCON , I feel sorry for you all , that you all have learned, You all only learned 1% of the idea of worshiping Deity.
Entharo Mahanubhavulu Antharike Vanthanamulu ( salutation to all great soul) I am not telegu language finatic, this title liric composed by a music saint. Please do not allow FBI or police intermingle with Ashrams or places of worship. I notice many religious center leaders started receiving money from government to manage their religious life as well as towards their religious activities. My personal experience with number of Sanyasi swamis , they started suspecting Innocent as faithless devotees or criminals , but in actual these devotees are Innocent. Eventually these devotees loosing faith in deity worship, throw all deities into the river or ocean , and stop praying or convert to other religion. Kindly have special meeting in all Ashrams and temples why these happening? Are we the root cause of all ? Is it money the Mahalakshimy turn our life into putana game ?
This is so beautiful! Indeed, it is a fact that the metal or whatever material the deity was made from MUST disappear from the eyes of a devotee. Pratima nahi tumi sakshat vrajendra nandan!
