The ISKCON Deity Worship Ministry (IDWM) acts on behalf of the GBC to ensure that the worship in our temples and centres is done according to the standards as given by Srila Prabhupada.

An early offering for Radhastami.

Srimati Radharani, the tenderhearted, feminine counterpart of Godhead, is that one person in all of existence who knows best how to express love for Krsna. She is the supreme container of love for Him, and, as such, She is known as the asraya category. Moreover, it is She who, like a mother, nurtures us in our devotional service.

Together, according to the ancient Vaishnava tradition, this dual-gendered divinity is God-male and female dimensions of the Absolute Truth.

Yet, I was so at peace, and not only did I manage to chant my twenty rounds every day but even during the worst I spent all my waking time chanting the maha mantra, grateful for such suffering and the focus it gives to what matters and all the mercy Krsna so kindly bestowed.

Srila Prabhupada - "When Krsna wants to be attracted by a woman, He has to create such a woman from His own energy. That woman is Rādhārāṇī". (Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 3 Chapter 31 text 38, Purport)

Love can only exist when there are "two or more" involved in loving reciprocations and exchanges.

Srila Prabhupada - ''We have got the propensity to love. Love means somebody else. Love cannot be "one" or love cannot be executed only one, there must be another one. I love somebody; somebody loves me, th

The Supreme Lord Bhagavan Krishna takes different forms as part of his sportive action to relieve Mother Earth from the burden. No one can really understand his powers, even Demigods have limited knowledge when comes to Lord's sportive actions and his powers.

Lord has taken 23 Leela avatars. Among these, the most powerful avatar is Bhagavan Shree Krishna avatar. The people, animals, plants, and land which came in contact with Lord are considered to be fortunate as they got a chance to interact an

हे प्रभु, हे वसुदेव पुत्र श्रीकृष्ण, हे सर्वव्यापी भगवान, मैं आपको सादर नमस्कार करता हूँ। मैं भगवान श्रीकृष्ण का ध्यान करता हूँ, क्योंकि वे परम सत्य हैं और व्यक्त ब्रह्माण्डों की उत्पत्ति, पालन तथा संहार के समस्त कारणों के आदि कारण हैं। वे प्रत्यक्ष तथा अप्रत्यक्ष रूप से सारे जगत से अवगत रहते हैं और वे परम स्वतंत्र हैं, क्योंकि उनसे परे अन्य कोई कारण है ही नहीं।
