Hore Krisna.
Joy srila Probhupada.
Dondobot Pronam to all devotees.
The one day (12 hour) of Bramha means 1000 chotur yuga.In that period, 14 no Monus reign over this Brahmanda.So the time period of rulling of each Monu=71 chotur yuga. When one person in the earth aquire a certain amount of punya, then as a reward , that person is given the charge of a particular department under 1 monu's rulling.so thus, that person become the demigod for 71 chotur yuga.And after the end of reign of that Monu, that demigod has to take a birth in this earth.Hence all demi gods are just servents or ministers of krisna for a certain time period.
If one want to be a demi God then by following the rituals described in the Vedas he can be promoted to a demigod.
When any person worship any demigod and want something from him, then demigod pray that thing from his master krisna and gift that person.So only a foolish person will worship a demigod without worshipping Lord Krisna.
In Bhagabat Gita krisna said:
TEXT 23
ye 'py anya-devata-bhakta
yajante sraddhayanvitah
te 'pi mam eva kaunteya
yajanty avidhi-purvakam
SYNONYMS
ye--those; api--also; anya--other; devata--demigods; bhaktah--devotees; yajante--worship; sraddhaya anvitah--with faith; te--they; api--also; mam--Me; eva--even; kaunteya--O son of Kunti; yajanti--sacrifice; avidhi-purvakam--in a wrong way.TRANSLATION
Whatever a man may sacrifice to other gods, O son of Kunti, is really meant for Me alone, but it is offered without true understanding.PURPORT
"Persons who are engaged in the worship of demigods are not very intelligent, although such worship is done to Me indirectly," Krsna says. For example, when a man pours water on the leaves and branches of a tree without pouring water on the root, he does so without sufficient knowledge or without observing regulative principles. Similarly, the process of rendering service to the different parts of the body is to supply food to the stomach. The demigods are, so to speak, different officers and directors in the government of the Supreme Lord. One has to follow the laws made by the government, not by the officers or directors. Similarly, everyone is to offer his worship to the Supreme Lord only. That will automatically satisfy the different officers and directors of the Lord. The officers and directors are engaged as representatives of the government, and to offer some bribe to the officers and directors is illegal. This is stated here as avidhi-purvakam. In other words, Krsna does not approve the unnecessary worship of the demigods.
