    OMG what is wrong in it. God wont see whether you are initiated or not, he just look at your devotion for him.

    Stop being sorry and Relax prabhuji.

    Offinsive yes forgivable also. A Cow Like mortal is of little karmic airport's though the False Ego would have us persist & or insist that we are. Young master (transcendence is truly the quality of Spiritual energies hence y-our karmic reality is such that reconciliation is basically on autoPilot Like a wise person once said' "NoOne can ever step into the same river twice."

    I do not know where you guys get this notion of commiting an offense if you accidentally touch the foot of the Deity. We do it all the time here inside the Church. We use cloth, hanky or bandana to wipe the face, legs, feet of Christ's deities. We think the energies from these Icons will transfer to the materials we use. In turn, we rub them on our faces, arms, abdomen, back, neck, head, shoulders, knees, thighs, legs, ankles, wrists, hands, feet, etc. Wherever the ailments lie. So, if one happens to rub and touch Krishna's lotus feet. The hands that touched It if Its ailing is healed. Maybe if one's head is in pain, the ache will go away if he put his head on Krishna's feet. Or any Icon for that matter. Of course we do not do this regularly. Only during the Lenten season on a Good Friday when Christ is nailed to the cross.

    I should add to my comment that I'm not even sure that this is considered by Krishna to be an offense.

    Please, could someprabhu provide for us a reference to where it is stated that it is an offense to touch the murti of Krishna, if this is true? Forgive my ignorance.

    Prabhuji,

    Do not worry. Krishna knows it was not your intention to cause Him disrespect. He knows you meant well and good intentions are most important. Prabhupada said this, I believe. Intentions are primary because good action inevitably follows good intentions.

    Lord Caitanya, the most merciful incarnation of God, forgives offenses to Krishna from those who repent.

    Please, anyone, correct me if I misspoke or swayed the teachings of Krishna and Caitanya. I am a neophyte devotee but I have tasted the mercy and infinite forgiveness of Krishna.

    Continue serving Krishna and I trust He will reward you and remove all your sinful reactions. We are all sinful and offensive unless we are the most pure devotees. That should not stop us from sincerely trying to please Krishna. This is my experience.

    Hare Krishna, peace and love,
    Jake

    You've actually done nothing wrong so do not worry about it. It was not Lord Visnu's deity but Krishna's. Krishna is so kind and friendly. You do not have to feel terrible about that, get relax. We are beginners, We learn from our mistakes.

    Chant and be happy :D

    Hare Krishna
