Tulasi Arti

Posted by Gerald Yule on November 11, 2015 at 5:42pm

Hare Krishna PEMHO AGTSP. 

The question that has come up is, which is more proper, to sing the Sanskrit or recite the English translation first when the Tulasi Arti begins? Different Temples do this in different ways.  So which way was is the proper way?  Which way did Srila Prabhupada say it should be done? Or is it a none issue and can be done either way? 

Thank you

your always ready and willing servant 

bhakta gerald.

    Hare Krsna 

    Srila Prabhupad was asked this. He said, recitation of sanskrit prayers is a must. Other language translation can be before or after and it is optional based on requirements of local people.

        Based on my remembrance SP said this in a letter. I can't give the precise reference but you can search for it.
