Offenses to be avoided. In the supplementary Vedic literature, there is the following list of 32 offenses in the matter of serving the Lord. Number 1: One should not enter the temple of the deity in a car or palanquin or with shoes on the feet. Number 2: One should not fail to observe the various festivals for the pleasure of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, such as Janmashtami and Yatra. Number 3, one should not avoid bowing down before the deity. 4, one should not enter the temple to worship the Lord without having washed one's hand and feet after eating. 5, one should not enter the temple in a contaminated state. According to Vedic scripture, if someone dies in the family, the whole family becomes contaminated for some time. According to its status. For example, if the family is Brahmana, their contamination period is 12 days. For the Kshatriyas and Vaishyas, it is 15 days, and for Shudras, 30 days. 6. One should not bow down on one hand. 7. One should not circumambulate in front of Sri Krishna. The process of circumambulating the temple is that one should begin the circumambulating from the Deity's right right-hand side of the temple and come around. Such circumambulation should be performed outside the temple structure at least 3 times daily.

8.

One should not spread his legs before the Deity. 9. One should not sit before the Deity holding the ankles, elbows, or knees with one's hands. 10. One should not lie down before the Deity of Krishna. 11.

11.

One should not accept prashad before the deity. 12. One should not— never speak a lie before the deity. 13. One should not talk very loudly before the deity. 14. One should not talk with others before the deity. 15. One should not cry or howl before the deity. 16. One should not quarrel or fight before the deity. 17. One should not chastise anyone before the deity. 18. One should not be charitable to beggars before the deity. 19. One should not speak very harshly to others before the deity. 20. One should not wear a fur blanket before the deity. 21. One should not eulogize or praise anyone else before the deity. 22. One should not speak any ill names before the Deity. 23. One should not pass air before the Deity. 24. One should not fail to worship the Deity according to one's means. In Bhagavad-gītā it is stated that the Lord is satisfied if some devotee offers Him even a leaf or a little water. This The formula prescribed by the Lord is universally applicable, even for the poorest man. But that does not mean that one who has sufficient means to worship the Lord very nicely should also adopt this method and try to satisfy the Lord simply by offering water and a leaf. If he has sufficient means, he should offer nice decorations, nice flowers, and nice foodstuffs, and observe all ceremonies.. It is not that one should try to satisfy the Supreme Lord with a little water and a leaf and for himself spend all his money in sense gratification.

25.

One should not eat anything which is not offered first to Kṛṣṇa. 26. One should not fail to offer fresh fruit and grains to Kṛṣṇa according to the season. 27. After food has been cooked, No one should be offered any foodstuff unless it is first offered to the Deity. 28. One should not sit with his back towards the Deity. 29. One should not offer obeisances silently to the spiritual master, or in other words, one should recite aloud the prayers to the spiritual master while offering the obeisances. 30. One should not fail to offer some praise 30th, one should not fail to offer some praise in the presence of the spiritual master. One should not praise himself before the spiritual master. 32, one should not deride the demigods before the Deity. This is a list of 32 offenses. Besides these, there are a number of offenses which are mentioned in the Varaḥa Purāṇa. They are as follows: 1, One should not touch the Deity in a dark room. Two, one should not fail to strictly follow the rules and regulations in worshipping the Deity. Three, one should not enter the temple of the Deity without first making some sound. Four, one should not offer any foodstuff to the Deity which has been seen by dogs or other lower animals. Five, one should not break silence while worshipping. 6. One should not pass urine or evacuate while engaged in worshiping. One should not— 7. One should not offer incense without offering some flower. 8. Useless flowers without any fragrance should not be offered. 9. One should not fail to wash his teeth very carefully every day. 10. One should not enter the temple directly after sexual intercourse. 11. One should not touch a woman during her menstrual period.

12.

Should enter the temple after touching a dead body. 13. One should not enter the temple wearing garments of red or blue color, garments which are washed. 14. One should not enter the temple after seeing a dead body. 15. One should not pass air within the temple. 16. One should not be angry within the temple. 17. One should not enter the temple after visiting a primordial. 18. One should not belch before the deity, so until one has fully digested his food, he should not enter the temple. 19. One should not smoke marijuana or ganja. 20th, one should not take opium or similar intoxicants. 21. One should not enter the deity room or touch the body of the deity after having smeared oil over his body. 22. One should, one should not show disrespect to a scripture teaching about the supremacy of the Lord. 23. One should not introduce any opposing scripture. 24. One should not chew betel before the deity. 25. One should not offer a flower which was kept in an unclean pot. 26. 26. One should not worship the Lord while sitting on the bare floor. One must have a sitting place or carpet. 27. One should not touch the Deity before one has completely completed taking bath. 28. One should not decorate his forehead with the three-lined tilaka. 29. One should not enter the temple without washing his hands and feet. The rules are that one should not offer foodstuff which is non-veg, one should not worship the Deity before non-devotee, and one should not engage himself in worship of the Lord while seeing an enemy. One should begin the worship of the demigod Ganapati, who drives away all impediments in the execution of devotional service. In the Brahma-samhita, it is stated that Ganapati worships the lotus feet of Lord Nrsimhadeva. And in that way has become auspicious for the devotees in clearing out all impediments. Therefore, all devotees should worship Ganapati. The Deities should not be bathed in water which has been touched by the nails or fingers. When a devotee is perspiring, he should not engage himself in worshipping the Deity. Similarly, there are many other prohibitions. For example, One should not cross or step over the flowers offered to the Deities, nor should one take a vow in the name of God. These are all different kinds of offences in the matter of executing devotional service, and one should be careful to avoid them. In the Padma Purana, it is stated that even a person whose life is completely sinful will be completely protected by the Lord if he simply surrenders unto Him. So it is accepted that one who surrenders unto the Supreme Personality of Godhead becomes free from all sinful reactions. And even when a person becomes an offender unto the Supreme Personality of Godhead Himself, he can still be delivered simply by taking shelter of the holy names of Lord Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare. Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. In other words, the chanting of Hare Krishna is beneficial for eradicating all sins. But if one becomes an offender to the holy names of the Lord, then he has no chance of being delivered. The offenses against the chanting of the holy name are as follows: 1. To blaspheme the devotees who have dedicated their lives for propagating the holy name of the Lord. 2. To consider the names of demigods like Śrīkṣiva or Lord Brahmā to be equal to or independent of the name of Lord Viṣṇu. Sometimes the atheistic class of men take it that any demigod is as good as the Supreme Personality of Godhead. But everyone who is worthy knows that no demigod can be viewed independently as the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Therefore, that he can chant Kali Kali or Durga Durga and it is the same as Hare Krishna, that is the greatest offense. Number 3, to disobey the orders of the spiritual master. 4, to perform the Vedic literature or literature in pursuance of the Vedic version. 5, to consider the glories of chanting Hare Krishna to be imaginations. 6, to give some interpretation on the Holy Name of the Lord. 7. To commit sinful activities on the strength of the Holy Name of the Lord. It should not be taken that because by chanting the Holy Name of the Lord one can be freed from all kinds of sinful reactions, one may continue to act sinfully and after that chant Hare Krishna to neutralize his sins. Such a dangerous mentality is very offensive and should be avoided.

8.

To consider the chanting of Hare Kṛṣṇa, one of the auspicious ritualistic activities offered in the Vedas, as frutive activities, karma-kanda. 9. To instruct a faithless person about the glories of the holy name. Anyone can take part in chanting the holy name of the Lord, but in the beginning one should not be instructed about the transcendental potency of the Lord. Those who are too sinful cannot appreciate the transcendental glories of the Lord. And therefore it is better not to instruct them in this matter. And to not have complete faith in the chanting of the holy names and to maintain material attachments even after understanding so many instructions on this matter. Every devotee who claims to be a Vaiṣṇava must guard against these offenses in order to clearly follow the path of devotional principles. One should not tolerate blasphemy of the Lord and His devotees. In this connection, in the 10th canto, 74th chapter, verse 40 of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, Śukadeva Gosvāmī tells Parikṣit Mahārāja, my dear king, if a person, after hearing blasphemous propaganda against the Lord and His devotees, does not go away from that place, he becomes bereft of the effect of all pious activities.

Activities.

In one of Lord Caitanya's Śrīkṣāśaka verses, it is stated the devotee should be more tolerant than the tree and more submissive than the grass. He should offer all honor to others but may not accept any honor for himself. In spite of Lord Caitanya's being so humble and meek as a devotee, when he was informed about injuries inflicted on the body of Śrī Nityānanda, he immediately ran to the spot and wanted to kill the offenders Jagāya and Madhāya. This behaviour of Lord Caitanya's is very significant. It shows that a Vaiṣṇava may be very tolerant and meek, forgoing everything for his personal honour, but when it is a question of the honour of Kṛṣṇa or His devotees, he will not tolerate any insult. There are three ways of dealing with such insults. If someone is heard blaspheming the words, one should make so effort that he can defeat the opposing party by arguments. If he is unable to defeat the opposing party, then the next step is that he should not just stand there meekly but should give up his life. The third process is followed if he is unable to execute the mentioned two processes, and this is that one must leave the plane, go away. If a devotee does not follow any of the above-mentioned three processes, he falls down from his position of devotion. Tilak and Tulsi beads. In the Madhva Purana, there is a statement describing how a Vaishnava should decorate his body with tilak and beads. Persons who put Tulsi beads on the neck, who mark 12 places of their bodies as Vishnu temples, with Vishnu's symbolic representations, the four items held in the four hands of Lord Vishnu— conch, mace, disc, and lotus— and who have Vishnu Tilaka on their foreheads, are to be understood as the devotees of Lord Vishnu in this world. Their presence makes the world purified, and anywhere they remain, they make that place as good as Vrindavan. A similar statement is in the Skanda Purana. Which says, persons who are decorated with tilak or gopi-chandan and who mark their bodies all over with the holy names of the Lord and on whose necks and breasts there are tulsi beads are never approached by the Yamadutas. The Yamadutas are the constables of King Yama, the Lord of Death, who punishes all sinful men. Vaiṣṇavas are never called for by such constables of Yamarāja. In the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, in the narration of Ajāmila's deliverance, it is said that Yamarāja gave clear instructions to his assistants not to approach the Vaiṣṇavas. Vaiṣṇavas are beyond the jurisdiction of Yamarāja's activities. The Pādma Purāṇa also mentions a person whose body is decorated with the pulp—

Thank you, Prasad Raaval.

The Padma Purana also mentions a person whose body is decorated with the pulp of sandalwood.

Huh? After Guru, I don't mind. Okay.

The Padma Purana also mentions a person whose body is decorated with the pulp of sandalwood with paintings of the holy name of the Lord is delivered from all sinful reactions, and after his death he goes directly to Kṛṣṇa-loka to live in association with the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Accepting Flower Garlands. The next instruction is that one should put on flower garlands which are offered to the Deity. In this connection. In the 11th canto, 6th chapter, verse 46 of Srimad Bhagavatam, Uddhava says to Krishna, my dear Krishna, I have taken things which you have used and enjoyed, such as garlands of flowers, scented oils, garments and ornaments, and I eat only the remnants of your foodstuff because I am your menial servant. So therefore I am sure that I shall not be attacked by the spell of material energy. The purpose of this verse is that for any person who who simply follows these rules and regulations, decorating the body with the marks of tilaka of gopī-chandana or sandalwood pulp, and who puts on the garlands which were offered to Kṛṣṇa, there is no question of being conquered by the spell of material energy. At the time of death, there is no question of such a person's being called by the constables of Yamarāja. Even if one does not accept all the Vaiṣṇava principles but still takes the remnants of foodstuff offered to Krishna, or Krishna prasad, he will gradually become qualified to rise to the platform of a Vaishnava. Similarly, in the Skanda Purana, Lord Brahma tells Narada, "My dear Narada, anyone who puts on his neck the flower garland which was formerly used by Krishna relieves from all disease and reaction to simple activities, and gradually he is liberated from the contamination of matter. Dancing Before the Deity. In the Dvaraka Mahatmya, the importance of dancing before the Deity is stated by Lord Krishna as follows: A person who is in a jubilant spirit, who feels profound devotional ecstasy while dancing before Me, and who manifests different features of bodily expression, can burn away all the accumulated sinful reactions He has stocked up for many, many thousands of years. In the same book, there is a statement by Narada wherein he asserts, from the body of any person who claps and dances before the Deity, showing manifestations of ecstasy, all the birds of sinful activities fly away and upward. Just as by the clapping the hands— just by clapping the hands, one can cause many birds to fly away. Similarly, the birds of all sinful activities which are sitting on the body can be made to fly away simply by dancing and clapping before the Deity of Kṛṣṇa. Bowing down in honor of the Deity. In the Nārada Purāṇa, there is a statement about bowing and offering respect to the Deity. It is stated there, a person who has performed a great ritualistic sacrifice and a person who has simply offered his respectful obeisances by bowing down before the Lord cannot be held as equals. The person who has executed many great sacrifices will attain the result of his pious activities, but when such results are finished, he has to take birth again on the earthly planet. However, the person who has once offered respects, bowing down before the deity, will not come back to this world because he will directly go to the abode of Krishna, standing up to receive the Lord. In the Brahman Purana, it is stated a person who sees the Lord's Rath Yatra, car festival, and then stands up to receive the Lord can purge all kinds of sinful results from this body following the deity. A similar statement is there in Bhavishya Purana, in which it is said even if born, even if born of a lowly family, A person who follows the rathyācikāra when the Deities pass in front or from behind will surely be elevated to the position of achieving equal opulence with the Deity. Going to the temple of Viṣṇu for pilgrimage. It is stated in the Purāṇas, persons who attempt to visit the holy places of pilgrimage like Vṛndāvana, Mathura, or Dvāraka are actually glorified. By such traveling activities, they can pass over the desert of material existence. In the Hari-bhakti-sudho daya, there is a statement about the benefit of visiting the temples of Lord Kṛṣṇa. As we have explained previously, in Vṛndāvana, Mathura, and Dvāraka, the system is that all the devotees take advantage of visiting various temples situated in those holy places. It is stated in the Hari-bhakti-sudho daya, "Persons who are impelled by pure devotional service in Kṛṣṇa consciousness and who therefore go to see the Deities of Viṣṇu in the temple will surely get relief from entering again into the prison house of a mother's womb. The conditioned soul forgets the trouble of living within the mother's womb during birth, but it is a very painful and terrible experience. In order to make an escape from this material condition, one is advised to visit a temple of Viṣṇu with devotional consciousness.

Justice.

Then one can very easily get out of the miserable condition of material birth. Circumambulating the temple of Vishnu. It is said in the Haribhakti-sudodaya, a person who circumambulates the deity of Vishnu can counteract the circumambulation of repeated birth and death in this material world. The conditioned soul is circumambulating through repeated births and deaths on account of his material existence, and this can be counteracted simply by circumambulating the Deity in the temple. The Chaturmāsī ceremony is observed during the four months of the rainy season in India, approximately July, August, September, and October, beginning from Śrāvana. During these four months, saintly persons who are accustomed to travel from one place to another to propagate Kṛṣṇa consciousness remain at one place, usually a holy place of pilgrimage. During these times, there are certain special rules and regulations which are strictly followed. In this, at least for time, it is understood that he has traveled all over the universe. By such regulation, one is understood to have seen all the holy places where the Ganges water is flowing. And by following the regulative principles of chaturmasya, one can very quickly be raised to the platform of devotional service, archana. Archana means worship of the Deity in the temple. By executing this process, one confirms himself to be not the body but spirit soul. In the 10th Canto, 81st Chapter, verse 19 of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, it is told how Sudāma, an intimate friend of Kṛṣṇa, while going to the house of a brahman, murmured to himself, "Simply by worshiping Kṛṣṇa, one can easily achieve all the results of heavenly opulence, liberation, supremacy over the planetary systems of the universe, all the opulences of this material world, and the mystic power of performing the yoga system." The events leading to Sudāma's murmuring this statement are as follows. Śrī Kṛṣṇa had ordered His friend Sudāma to go to Brahmā's house. Asked for some food. The brahmanas were performing a great sacrifice, and Sri Krishna told Sudama to plead with them that he and Balaram were feeling very hungry and needed some food. When Sudama went there, the brahmanas refused to offer anything, but the wives of the brahmanas, upon hearing that Sri Krishna wanted some foodstuff, immediately took many palatable dishes and went to offer them to Sri Krishna. In the, in the Vishnu Rasya also it is stated, any person within this world who is engaged in the worship of Krishna can very easily achieve the ever blissful kingdom of God known as Vaikuntha Loka by rendering service to the Lord. It is stated in the Viṣṇu Mahāsaṁhita: Any person who can arrange for service to the Lord in this world, and who is given service by his attendants, is surely admitted to the abode of Kṛṣṇa after death. Actually, in India, the temples are just like royal palaces. They are not ordinary buildings because the worship of Kṛṣṇa should be performed in just the way that a king is worshiped in his palace. So in Vṛndāvana, there are many hundreds of temples where the Deity is worshiped exactly like a king. In the Nārada-dīya Purāṇa, it is stated, if one stays in the Lord's temple even for a few moments, he can surely achieve the transcendental kingdom of God. The conclusion is that those who are rich men in society should construct beautiful temples and arrange for the worship of Lord Krishna, so that people may be attracted to visit such temples and thereby be offered the opportunity of dancing before the Lord or chanting the holy name of the Lord, or else of hearing the holy name of the Lord. In this way, everyone can be— everyone will be given a chance to elevate himself to the kingdom of God. In other words, even a common man, simply by visiting such a temple, people will be able to attain the highest benedictions, not to mention the devotees who are constantly engaged in the service of the Lord in full Kṛṣṇa consciousness. In this connection, there is a statement in the Fourth Canto, Twenty-First Chapter, verse 31 of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam wherein King Pritu says to his subjects, "My dear citizens, please note that the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Hari, is actually deliverer of all fallen conditioned souls. No demigod can perform this act of delivering the conditioned souls because the demigods themselves are conditioned. A conditioned soul cannot deliver another conditioned soul. Only Krishna or his bona fide representative can deliver him. The Ganges water, which is flowing down from the toe of Lord Vishnu, falls upon the earthly planet and other planets and thereby delivers all the conditioned sinful living entities. So what need is there to speak of the deliverance of persons who were always engaged in the service of the Lord? There is no doubt about their liberation, even if they have stocks of sinful activities from many, many previous incarnations. In other words, a person who is engaged in worship of the Deity can minimize his stock of sinful reactions coming from many, many previous Bhagavad-gītā. This process of worshiping the Deity has already been described, and one should try to follow these rules and regulations seriously. Singing: In the Linga Purāṇa, there is a statement about glorifying and singing about the Lord. It is said there, "A brahmana who is constantly engaged in singing the glories of the Lord is surely elevated to the same planet as the Supreme Personality of Godhead." Lord Kṛṣṇa appreciates appreciates this singing even more than the prayers offered by Lord Śiva. Sankīrtana. When a person loudly chants the glories of the Lord's activities, qualities, forms, etc., this chanting is called sankīrtana. Sankīrtana also refers to the congregational chanting of the holy name of the Lord. In the Viṣṇudharma, there is a statement glorifying this process of congregational Prasad RAVALALALALALALA. My dear King, this word Krishna is so auspicious that anyone who chants this holy name immediately gets rid of the resultant actions of sinful activities from many, many births. That is a fact. There is a following statement in Caitanya-caritāmṛta: A person who chants the holy name of Krishna once can counteract the resultant activities of more sinful reactions than he is able to perform. A sinful man can perform many, many sinful activities, but he is unable to perform so many that they cannot be wiped out by one single utterance of Krishna. In the 7th Canto, 9th Chapter, verse 18 of Srimad-Bhagavatam, Maharaja Prahlada offers the following prayers to the Lord: My dear Lord Nrsimha, If I can be elevated to the position of Your servant, then it will be, be, then it will be possible. You are the Supreme Friend, the Supreme Worshipable Deity. Your pastimes are transcendental, and simply by hearing of them one can counteract all his sinful activities. Therefore, I shall not care for all those sinful activities because simply By hearing about Your pastimes, I shall get out of all the contamination of material attachment. There are many songs about the Lord's activities. For example, there is Brahma Samhita, sung by Lord Brahma, Narada Panchatra, sung by Narada Muni, and Srimad Bhagavatam, sung by Śukadeva Gosvāmī. If these songs are heard by any person, he can easily get out of the clutches of material contamination. There should be no difficulty in hearing these songs of God. They're coming down from many, many, many, many millions of years ago, and people are still taking advantage of them. So why at this time should one not take full advantage and thus become liberated? In the first canto, fifth chapter, verse 22 of Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, Mārdamaṇī tells his disciple Vyāsadeva, My dear Vyasa, you should know that persons who are engaged in executing austerities and penances, studying the Vedas, performing big sacrifices, chanting the hymns of the Vedas, speculating on transcendental knowledge, and performing charitable functions have fulfilled their religious activities simply to gain a place in the association of devotees and chant the glories of the Lord. It is indicated here that chanting about and glorifying the Lord is the ultimate activity of the living entity. Japa. Chanting a mantra or hymn softly and slowly is called japa, and chanting the same mantra loudly is called kīrtana. For example, for example, āreṇḍa Mahā-mantra, Hare Kṛṣṇa Hare Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa Hare Hare, Āre Rāma Hare Rāma Rāma Rāma Hare Hare. Very softly, only for one's own hearing, is called japa. Chanting the same mantra loudly for being heard by all others is called kirtan. The Maha Mantra can be used for japa and kirtan also. When japa is practiced, it is for the personal benefit of the chanter, but when kirtan is performed, it is for the benefit of all others who may hear. In the Padma Purana, there is a statement: For any person who is chanting the Holy Name, either softly or loudly, the paths to liberation, even heavenly happiness, are at once open. Submission. In the Skanda Purana, there's a statement about submission unto the lotus feet of the Lord. It is said that those who are sober devotees can offer their submission to Krishna in the following three ways: samprārtha-nātmika, very feelingly offering prayers, dañya-vodhika, humbly submitting oneself, lāla-samayi, desiring some perfectional stage. This desiring some perfectional stage in spiritual life is not sense gratification. When one realizes something of his constitutional relationship with the Supreme Personality of Godhead, he understands his original position and wants to be reinstated either as a friend, servant, parent, or conjugal lover. That is lāla-samāñi, or very eagerly desiring to go to one's natural position. This lāla-samāñi of submission comes in the stage of perfect liberation, which is technically called svāsiddhi, when the living entity understands by perfect spiritual advancement transmits and revelation his original relationship with the Lord. In the Bhagavad Purana, there's a statement of submission and feeling by devotees praying to the Lord. My Lord, I know that young girls have natural affection for young boys and that young boys have natural affection for young girls. I am praying at Your lotus feet that my mind may become attracted unto You in the same spontaneous way.

Prasad RAVAL.

The example is very appropriate. When a young boy or girl sees a member of the opposite sex, there is natural attraction without the need for any introduction. Without any training, there is a natural attraction due to the sex impulse. This is a material example, but the devotee praying that he may develop a similar spontaneous attachment for the Supreme Lord, free from any desire for profit and without any other other cause. This natural attraction for the Lord is the perfectional stage of Self-realization. In the same Padma Purana, there's a statement about submission in humbleness. It is stated there, my dear Lord, there is no sinful living entity who is more of a sinner than myself, nor is there a greater offender than myself. I am so greatly sinful and offensive that when I come to confess my sinful activities before You, I am ashamed. This is a natural position for a devotee. As far as the conditioned soul is concerned, there is no wonder that he has some sinful activities in his past life, and this should be admitted and confessed before the Lord. As soon as this is done, the Lord excuses the sincere devotee. But that does not mean that one should take advantage of the Lord's causeless mercy and expect to be excused over and over again while he commits the same sinful activities. Such a mentality is only for shameless persons. Here it is clearly said, "When I come to confess my sinful activities, I become ashamed." So if a person is not ashamed of his sinful activities and continues to commit the same sinful activities with the knowledge that the Lord will accept excuse him, that is the most nonsensical proposition. Such an idea is not accepted in any part of the Vedic literature. It is a fact that by chanting the holy name of the Lord, one becomes washed clean of all sinful activities from his past life. But that does not mean that after being washed off, one should again begin sinful activities and expect to be washed again. These are nonsense nonsensical propositions and are not admitted in any devotional service. Someone may think, 'For a whole week I may commit sinful activities, and for one day I will go to the temple or church and admit my sinful activities so that I may become— so that I can become washed off and again begin my sinning.' This is most nonsensical and offensive and is not accepted to the author of Bhakti-rasa-amrta-siddhanta. In the Narada Pancharatra, there's a statement of submission accompanied by the desire for perfection. The devotee says, "My dear Lord, when shall that day come when You will ask me to fan Your body according to Your pleasure? You will say, 'You just fan Me in this way.'" Prasad RAVAL. The idea in this verse is that the devotee is desiring to personally fan the body of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. That means that he is desiring to become the personal associate of the Supreme Lord. Of course, any devotee in any capacity, either as a servant, friend, or conjugal lover, always has direct association with the Lord. But according to his different individual A person who desires to become a servant of the Lord and desires to fan the Lord, as does his internal energy Lakshmi, the goddess of fortune. He also wishes that the personality of Godhead will be pleased to give him directions as to how to fan him. This submission with transcendental desire O laalasaamayi vigyapati is the highest expression of spiritual realization. In the Naraada Pancharatra, there is another expression of submission wherein the devotee says, "My dear Lord, O Lord Sai Baba, when will that day come when on the bank of the Yamuna I shall become just like a madman and continue to chant Your Holy Name with incessant ears flow from my eyes. Lord Caitanya also desired that a moment will appear unto me as 12 years of time, and the whole world will appear to me as vacant on the account of not seeing you, my dear Lord. One should feel— one should feel great and become eager to render particular type of service to the Lord. Teaching of all great devotees, especially Lord Caitanya.

Thank you very much.
