Mataji,
Frankly Speaking you will require to undertake an organized study of the Krishna Conscious Process. Discussing such basics in the Forums will not give you the right answers. I suggest you set a schedule of reading atleast 5 pages of the Bhagavad Gita AS IT IS by Srila Prabhupada. After 100 days or so you will be able to guide others as to which deities to pray.

Hare Krsna Mataji,
PAMHO.
Krsna is the adi purusha, ajam - the unborn, anadi - the oldest, anant - the endless rupam. He has no mother to give Him birth. Which mother are you referrring to?
When Brahma got knowledge, he did stuti which we know as Brahma Samhita. There he mentions - Govindam Adi Purusham Tam Aham Bhajami - I pray to the Primeval Lord, Govinda....

He is always present thats why he is God..
time factor works upon us .. for God there is no past present future... He can travel in any time period..He was present before creation of this universe..
and male female concept also works upon us that a female give birth ... and in thia concept he is male and female both.. coz His an incarnation lord vishnu create lord bharma from His navel..
Hare Krishna mataji..
to know this u have to read bhagwat geeta that.. krishna is God and shiva ganesha, maa shakti, all are demigods (devta and deviya).
it is just like... krishna is root.. branches are devi devta and we are leaves... so however we depend on branches but branches are also depend on root, shree krishna..
now branches and root both are worshipable.. but there is no value of branches of a tree without root...
that why we specifically love the root creater of all creation.. root source of happiness of all happiness.. root maintainer of all maintance.. our lovely Lord shree Krishna...
Hare Krsna Mataji,
PAMHO.
You will have to be more specific. Same deity - other deity - whose deity. If its Krsna, Jagannath deities or Panch Tattva deities, then no porblem at all. If the deities are other Vishnu tattvas like Rama, Nrisimha, Vamana, then also no problem.
YOu should be clear in your mind who you are praying to - Krsna, His incarnations and expansions or demigods and gurus. If it is Krsna and His forms, then the prayer is asking for mercy. If it is demigod or guru, then you should pray for them to grant you Krsna prema.
With this principle in mind, you can do whatever you wish to.
Haribol,
