  Pranam My Dearest Anu Priya. Hare Krishna.

  May you receive transcendental blessings, grace and mercy

  from the God of Gods, the Father and Spiritual Master of

  this entire universe, and also its Supreme Controller, the

  Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Krishna. His devotee

  has strong and firm faith in the understanding that if one is

  engaged in Krishna consciousness in the service of Lord

  Krishna, then one is freed from all other obligations. A pure

  devotee of Lord Krishna does not have to perform any of the

  ritualistic functions enjoined in the Vedas, nor is a pure devotee 

  required to worship any demigods. Being a devotee of Lord

  Krishna, one is understood to have  performed all kinds of Vedic

  rituals and all kinds of worship to the demigods. One does

  not develop devotional service for Lord Krishna by performing

  the Vedic ritualistic ceremonies or worshipping the demigods,

  but it should be understood that one who is engaged fully in the

  service of Lord Krishna has already fulfilled all Vedic injunctions.

  In the Bhagavad-Gita, Lord Krishna said that the worshippers of

  the demigods attain the abodes of the demigods. The system

  of worshipping demigods like Lord Brahma, Lord Shiva, Lord

  Ganesha, Goddess Durga is condemned in the Bhagavad-Gita,

  but not forbidden, and the less intelligent people worship the

  demigods for material benefit. It is stated in the Srimad 

  Bhagavatam that a person of broader intelligence, whether he

  is full of all material desires, without any material desires, or

  desiring liberation, must by all means worship the Supreme

  Whole, the Personality of Godhead, Lord Krishna. It is also stated

  in the Srimad Bhagavatam that as pouring water on the root of a

  tree energizes the trunk, branches, twigs and everything else, and

  as supplying food to the stomach enlivens the senses and limbs

  of the body, simply by worshipping the Supreme Personality of

  Godhead through devotional service automatically satisfies the

  demigods, who are parts of that Supreme Personality, Lord Krishna.

  With love and best wishes, take care, bye.

  Pranam My Dearest Anu Priya. Hare Krishna.

  May you receive transcendental blessings, grace and mercy

  from the God of Gods, the Father and Spiritual Master of this

  entire universe, and also its Supreme Controller, the Supreme

  Personality of Godhead, Lord Krishna, Who is the giver of life

  and the giver of death. At the time of death, our state of

  consciousness determines our next birth. Death destroys the body

  made of five gross elements, but the subtle body, consisting of

  mind, intelligence, and false ego , remains. As the air carries the

  scent of the place it blows over, so the soul carries a person`s

  subtle body of mind, intelligence and false ego, along with his

  state of consciousness, on to his next birth, and his body is

  determined accordingly. When a breeze blows over a garden,

  it carries the fragrance of flowers with it, but when it blows over a

  rubbish heap, the breeze is filled with stench. Similarly, the

  activities a person performs during his lifetime continuously

  influence his mentality, and at the time of death the cumulative

  effect of these activities determines his state of consciousness.

  Thus the subtle body formed during one`s lifetime is carried

  over to one`s next birth and manifests as the soul`s next gross

  body. Naturally therefore, the gross body reflects one`s state

  of consciousness. The face is the index of the mind. And the

  mind is the product of the activities of one`s present and previous

  lives. In other words, one`s mind, intelligence and false ego,

  which are influenced by one`s habits in this and previous births,

  form the matrix that determine the type of body and mentality

  one will have in the next life. Hence the connection between

  one`s previous, present, and future lives is the mind, intelligence

  and false ego. With love and best wishes, take care, bye.

  Pranam My Dearest Anu Priya. Hare Krishna.

  May you receive transcendental blessings, grace and mercy

  from the God of Gods, the Greatest of all mystics, the basis

  of the Impersonal Brahman, which is immortal, imperishable

  and eternal, the ultimate Supreme Truth, the Source of

  innumerable Vaikuntha planets, the Original Bhagavan,

  the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Krishna, Whose

  body is free from the characteristics of material bodies. All

  material bodies go through six phases:- birth, growth,

  maturity, reproduction, decline and destruction. But Lord

  Krishna does not take material birth, since He is the original

  reality. We take our material birth within a particular material

  atmosphere, in material bodies that are mixtures of various

  material elements. Since Lord Krishna existed long before the

  creation of any material atmosphere or element, there is no

  question of material birth for His transcendental body. He is

  full and complete. When one`s material body becomes mature,

  one can no longer enjoy as in youth, but Lord Krishna`s body

  never reaches so-called middle age, since His body is always

  full of spiritual youthful bliss. Lord Krishna`s transcendental

  body is free from the transformations of material bodies. The

  Lord does, however, create innumerable worlds and expand

  Himself as innumerable living entities. But the Lord`s so-called

  reproduction is completely spiritual and does not take place

  at a certain phase of bodily existence, rather it constitutes the

  Lord`s eternal preference to expand His spiritual bliss and 

  glories. With love and best wishes, take care, bye.
