Please Accept My Humble Obeisances.All Glories to Srila Prabhupada, Sri Guru & Gauranga.Hare KrishnaI have heard a lecture from Srila Prabhupada where Prabhupada sais that some devotees have conversations with the Supreme Lord directly through His Deity image.I felt very enthusiastic, and it did make my heart feel to worship my deities better.I started talking with the Lord as well. Id chant verses to Krishna from the Gita/Srimad Bhagavatam, or any devotional prayer infront of Him.I do feel that the Lord is present infront of us in deity form. Srila Prabhupada also said, if we do not feel the Lord's presence in the deity image, then it is idol worship.Hari BolYour Aspiring Servant,Bhakta David

I am glad to know that some devotees talk to deities and its absolutely normal.
I use to think why I am so much tempted to talk and ask hundreds of questions to Krishna. Sometimes I just do a bombardment of questions to him.
" Do you eat this?". " Why don't you like this food? is it because it has so and so ingredients".
"Are you angry that I didn't prepare dinner for you and just offered fruits (an easy thing to do) "
" Do you really love me"
"What is the right thing to do in such situation" etc.
It might seem weird to someone but somehow I started to feel that talking as a part of KC. Since I remember Krishna deeply in each of these conversations.
jai shree Gokulesh.

Hare Krsna Prabhuji
Please post more personal information if you please. It is like nectar to me. I believe it will help other souls desiring reconnection to our Supreme Lord Krsna.
Hare Krishna dear Devotees, please accept my humble obeisances! all glories to Srila Prabhupada!
in our stage we have to worship Krishna in the mood of Master and servant not more.
Otherwise this sometimes artificial associations will increase anarthas in our heart. We should not act separately, we have to ask senior Devotees or Guru how to worship Deities.
When time comes Guru will say to us how we should worship Krishna.
But this time we worship Him by strict rules and regulations written in Narada Pancharatra.
Our talks to our Deities may be in the form of prayers.

Hare Krishna David Prabhuji,
