I have a small query. Can I pray for other gods along with Krishna on Janmastami?
Rohitha Rohi
My Dear Rohitha,
Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
When you water the root of all tree all leaves and branches are watered. Since Lord Krishna is the root of all existence when please Him by your prayers of surrender you automatically please all of the other gods because they are all His subordinates. So you should only pray to Krishna. This holds true all the time, not just on Janmastami.
I hope this meets you in the best of health.

ReplyDeleteAll Glories unto You my Gurumahaja and my Gurumataji
Gurudeva,
Please accept my dandaavat obeisance 😭! Please!
How can I dare to comment? Since I had been blessed by enrolling myself in the Ultimate Self Realisation Course on the 20th September 2008 and my starting to endeavour to follow your instructions like chanting 16 rounds on Japamala, fasting on Ekadashi, taking only pure vegetarian food(excluding garlics and onion) mostly after offering it to Lord Krishna, and chanting 25 rounds on Ekadashi Day even. Although almost everybody, except my Maa, can't be happy seeing me on the holiest path of pure Devotional Service. Even my Maa began chanting on Japamala regularly and always wanted me to speak about Krishna Consciousness, about Shrila Prabhupada, You, Gurumata, ISKCON! And, an uncle (a friend's parents) and a colleague (clerk of my office), who were---- happy to introduce as a 'nastik' one and the other was happy as a follower of Jesus Christ, became devotees of Krishna within 3/4 months after reading Shrila Prabhupada's Books, I gave them, Bengali Version of the Life Comes From Life, the Science of Self Realization and the Bhagavadgita As It Is!
But, now! 😭😭😭!!!! After 2010, my fall down began! However, my wife has begun worshipping Lord at home and celebrating special day like Janmastami. After beginning of my falling down 😭! Only allowing me to take pure vegetarian food and chanting!
So, I have been a silent follower of your instructions due to shame as I couldn't continue the path of pure devotional service 🐕🦺!
When, again will I be able to continue on this path as I did in those 2/3 years? Hare Krishna 🙏 and dandaavat pronaam
Yours
