Hare Krishna!
PAMHO.All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
Can I worship Sri Krishna's form of Sri Venkateshwara-Padmavati(i.e.,in a mood of reverence,and my grandmother worships Sri Krishna in that form) and His merciful form of Sri Gouranga?As I am quite new,I am afraid that as I am a neophyte,I feel that it would be the best to wait ...just in case that I don't have any worong ideas about the mood of worship when we worship him in his original form of Radha-Krishna?
Please forgive me if I have been offensive.
Hari bol!

Haribol;
Like yourself I am a neophyte or working to it, Although the Lord appear in many form or avatar, It is states that only the form of Krishna and His merciful form of Sri Gouranga does he display all his opulence, in his other form they show some form of his opulence but not all, that is why the form of Krsna is most worship able,,
SB 1.3.28--All of the above-mentioned incarnations are either plenary portions or portions of the plenary portions of the Lord, but Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa is the original Personality of Godhead. All of them appear on planets whenever there is a disturbance created by the atheists. The Lord incarnates to protect the theists.
this is part of the Purport ----- Similarly, Jāmadagnya displayed the Lord's power to kill all the disobedient kings powerfully situated in their respective states. The Lord's empowered incarnation Nārada and plenary incarnation Varāha, as well as indirectly empowered Lord Buddha, created faith in the mass of people. The incarnations of Rāma and Dhanvantari displayed His fame, and Balarāma, Mohinī and Vāmana exhibited His beauty. Dattātreya, Matsya, Kumāra and Kapila exhibited His transcendental knowledge. Nara and Nārāyaṇa Ṛṣis exhibited His renunciation. So all the different incarnations of the Lord indirectly or directly manifested different features, but Lord Kṛṣṇa, the primeval Lord, exhibited the complete features of Godhead, and thus it is confirmed that He is the source of all other incarnations. And the most extraordinary feature exhibited by Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa was His internal energetic manifestation of His pastimes with the cowherd girls. His pastimes with the gopīs are all displays of transcendental existence, bliss and knowledge, although these are manifested apparently as sex love
