Haribol,

In the Agni Purana is a lot to read about the positions of deities. I am shure Prabhupada said something about this too, I don't know where to find his quote on this subject. Please send me all quotes Prabhupada said wich direction a altar/deitie must face. And are Purana's a higher authoraty or our spiritual teacher? It makes me a little uncomfortable. I read a lot and what is said by Sri Krishna in Purana's can I (we) 'just'ignore it because our spiritual teacher says otherwise or if it it not meant for this Kali Yuga? I mean there are many Kali Yuga's in the life of 1 Bramha, but only once Sri Krishna Gopala appears someone told me. So the other 99 kali Yuga's in the life of Bramha are 'less' important?? Or all the other 99 Kali Yuga's what is said by Krishna is less imporant than the one who spoke the Gita? So other purana's in other yuga's are 'just' to be ignored for this Kali Yuga? 

Understand wht I am asking; the position of Krishna face to wich direction second; if a purana as Agni says otherwise than Prabhupada, what to do? Agni Purana is very clear about the 10 avatars in wich direction they all face per avatar. The gesture;"it is not for this age and time" please tell me why and where I can find it to be bonafide to explain others like visitors who come here to visit my altar. So I can explain them and avoide speculative discussions.

Thank you very much.

Hare Krishna!
