Hare Krishna. Dandvat Pranam. My body has been undergoing dryness, so is it ok if we do deity workship even after applying oil to hair and body?

Somebody who knows about this , please clarify it in all possible ways . All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to Sri KirshoriKeshava. .Your Servant, Hare Krishna.

Bodhidharma

Bodhidharma was a semi-legendary Buddhist monk who lived during the 5th or 6th century CE.[1] He is traditionally credited as the transmitter of Chan Buddhism to China, and is regarded as its first Chinese patriarch.[a] He is also popularly regarded as the founder of Shaolin kung fu,[2][3][4][5] an idea popularized in the 20th century,[4][5][2] but based on the 17th century Yijin Jing and the Daoist association of daoyin gymnastics with Bodhidharma.Little contemporary biographical information…

Hare Krishna to all the devotees All glories to srila Prabhupada Dear devotees, Many people think that there are 33 crore gods/demigods in sanatana Dharma (or Hinduism).I saw a short a long time ago , which was most probably a scene of movie of something like that, a boy (a sanatani in movie) tells some english man that "I cannot make 33 crore devi devtas but I can make 33 koti Devi devatas". So I got to know or atleast think that 33 crore was a miss spelled word in translation. But I want to…

Reason of creation

Hare Krishna 🙏 Obeisance to the merciful devotees of this community. I'm new here. Dear vaishnavas, I am begging your blessings so that this fallen soul can become a devotee one day. I have a question.That is - Why did Krsna create us ? It is worth mentioning that I had asked this question to two devotees earlier. Both of them had the same answer. They said, "The Supreme Lord Shree Krishna created the living entities to share His pleasure with Him (Jīvas) . He gave all the created entities a…

Contradictory Behaviour of the Lord in MB war

In BG Krishna says that he knows the past present and future and every thing happens by his will but when karna used his Shakti dart on Ghatotkach he began jumping and dancing on the terrace of the chariot clapping his arms.Moreover he tells Arjun that ever since he had heard of karna posessing the Shakti dart he has been in constant ANXIETY.Why should the supreme God, the knower of everything be in constant ANXIETY and behave like this?(Reference vedabase Mahabharat). Thanks Hare Krishna!…

Our source of inspiration

"Now we have got so many students and so many temples but I am fearful that if we expand too much in this way that we shall become weakened and gradually the whole thing will become lost. Just like milk. We may thin it more and more with water for cheating the customer, but in the end it will cease to be any longer milk. Better to boil the milk now very vigorously and make it thick and sweet, that is the best process. So let us concentrate on training our devotees very thoroughly in the knowledge of Krishna Consciousness from our books, from tapes, and in so many ways instruct them in the right propositions." - letter June 22, 1972 by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada, founder acharya of International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON)
