Hare Krishna Mataji's and Prabhuji's ! One of the eyes of my deity of Shri Radharani fell during taking her bath. I have got the new one's. Can you please guide me on how to get these fixed ?

Jai Shri Radharani!
I have done this a couple of times in the past with my diety of Ladoo Gopal when somehow during bathing or dressing the eyes came off. In this kind of a situation, I had been very nervous and did everything in an inconfident state. But somehow the outcome had been more than satisfactory.
1. Please buy a new small tube of dendrite. I dont know any other way of doing this so i used it. I think it is better to avoid feviquick as it will not give you the time to adjust or ammend and it will dry and get solidified before that.
2. Now carefully hold Her and clean the inside of the eye which need to be changed. The previously used adhesive and other materials will be there - which should be removed.
3. From the tube of the dendrite, put a small drop of dendrite and put the eyes in place. Without wasting any time adjust the positionof the eyes before it starts to dry.
4. Once you think it is in perfect place leave Her as she is for nearly 24 hours. And the work is done.
Tip 1. I think once you have cleaned the inside of the eyes, first you should place the eye without putting the dendrite.
This way you will be able to understand in which posotion, the eye is looking best. Once you know the right position, now you put the dendrite and do the actual thing.
Tip 2. Usually diety eyes come of while wiping of the face after bath or while putting some shirt kind of a thing from Her head. For my diety, I am extremely careful about wiping the face - it is better to do less than doing more. And extra caution to be taken while putting on the shirts.
Hope this helps you.
