  • Sri Ramanuja’s foremost instruction

    Posted on February 11, 2011


    The foremost instruction of Sri Ramanujacarya is this: “If you cannot purify
    yourself by any endeavor whatsoever, then just go sit with the Vaisnavas and
    you will achieve all auspiciousness.”

    From Bhaktyaloka by Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura
  • why we dress the Deities in very opulent fashion

    Regarding your question about why we dress the Deities in very opulent
    fashion and not as simple cowherds boy and girl, this is an intelligent
    question and the answer is that according to the regulative principles we
    cannot worship Radha-Krishna now. Radha-Krishna worship is meant for persons
    who have already developed spontaneous love of God. In the training period
    we are only worshiping Laksmi-Narayana. We worship Radha-Krishna because
    Laksmi-Narayana is there also, but actually we do not worship Radha-Krishna
    with our present Deity ceremonies; we are worshiping Laksmi-Narayana.
    Narayana is there when Krishna is there, but actually we do not worship
    Radha-Krishna in Their Original Form. This is why we should worship
    Radha-Krishna in Their Laksmi-Narayana feature with all respect and
    reverence. If we deviate from this standard then we shall be prakrta
    sahajiya, or a person who takes things very cheap. We worship
    Laksmi-Narayana, and because Radha-Krishna includes Laksmi-Narayana, there
    is no necessity of installing a Laksmi-Narayana Deity. It is just like a
    king who is engaged in administering justice. Actually that business belongs
    to the justice department. But what is that justice department? It is all
    part of the kings energy, and the king also has the power to execute this
    function.
