Worship of aspiring guru

Posted by Keshavi on December 6, 2023 at 4:43pm

Hare krsna. Please accept my humble obeisance. AGTSP

I have not yet accepted initiation but I'm planning to in a few years after my tertiary education. I have found spiritual master but haven't approached him yet. However, I deeply wish to keep a photo of him, next to Srila Prabhupada for whenever I do aarati at home. Is it appropriate or should I wait for Maharaj to accept me as his disciple first? 

Your servant, 

Keshavi.

    Hare Krsna Mataji,

    PAMHO.

    No permission / rules are required if you want to keep picture of your spiritual master on the altar beside Srila Prabhupada photo. 

    I hope you are aware that you need to complete ISKCON Disciple Course, get various levels of shiksha certificates like Shradhavan, Krishna Sevaka, Krishna Sadhaka, Srila Prabhupada Ashraya and then Guru Ashraya. For details, please contact your local ISKCON temple/ shiksha guru .

    Haribol,

    Your servant,

    Radha Rasamayi DD
