HARI BOL.HARE KRISHNA.
IS IT POSSIBLE???????
1) WHILE PERFORMING BHAJAN AT MY RESIDENCE,I FELT THE NECK OF THE DEITY OF LADOO GOPAL TO BE TURNED TOWARDS ME AND STARING ME CONTINUOUSLY TILL THE BHAJAN GOT ENDED.
2) WHEN THIS WAS DISCUSSED AMONG MY FAMILY MEMBERS,MY SISTER SHARED HER EXPERIENCE ABOUT HER FEELING OF LORD NITAI TWISTING HIS RIGHT ELBOW WITH UTTER HAPINESS DURING "SHYAN AARTI" AT RADHA GOPINATH TEMPLE,CHOWPATTY.
3) MY BROTHER-IN-LAW HAS ALWAYS EXPERIENCED THE LADOO GOPAL DEITY SMILING MANY TIMES.
IS ALL THESE HAPINESS "GOOD" OR " BAD" FOR OUR SPIRITUAL LIFE????

:D he he Laddu Gopal.
Deity can even walk as it was even five hundred years ago with one brahmana.
But we have to be very sincere Devotee in order to make Them do such like deeds.
They can do anything. But they do not do extra ordinary things with simple yet not purified Devotees in order not to shock them.
Sometimes we yet ordinary Devotees may speculate such like things, because of that we have to be careful.
Our duty is to chant and please Guru and Gouranga and when time comes Lord Gouranga and Sri Sri Radha Gopinath will dance before us in jubilation.

Hare Krishna,
I remember one pastime during the period when Shrila Prabhupada was present on this planet physically. Once he visited a temple after almost a year or so and was talking to all the devotees. SP, latter went on to take the darshan of the deities. After taking the darshan he called for the temple president and asked if there was any deviation from the standards he had set for offering for the deities. The temple president was shocked to hear such a question because in deed they had made changes. The temple president said that due some financial crises they had to cut down on 2 offering out of 6 offerings in the day. SP said nothing doing. The deities have become weak and you can not cut down on offering to deities at any cost.
Deity is non different from Krishna personally. Since the conditioned living entities can not see and perceive Lord everywhere, Lord has mercifully appeared in the form of his own deity. We should have no doubt in that. Lord is a person and he responds to our devotion.
When I was new in KC, I was staying in Pune ISKCON temple for some time and then I could notice that Lord's face looked tired in the night during shyan darshan and looked very fresh all day. I asked one very senior devotee as how this can happen. He said, that it could be either my imagination or I am soo pure at heart that Lord is revealing his mood to me. I decided to settle for the first option that I am trying to imagine. He went on to explain that the devotees in the line of Chaitnya Mahaprabhu does not like to show off that they can see the mood of Lord in his deity form or in any form.
Please forgive me if I offended any one
Hare Krishna
