Dandavat pranam at your lotus feet.

HpS - Lettuce feet.

Hope your health is good.

HpS - Functional.

Here we are struggling with the pandemic and duties of the ward . My masters in anatomy is going on OK.

Recently I made a nice devotee friend online who helps and inspires me to be good devotee .I guess all I needed is someone to talk with, be accepted and share knowledge as friends.

HpS - Super!!! If that can become self realized (I am at this level of development), build your character and preach. So later maybe you and the devotee can develop your Sankirtan.

While talking He shared that he had a small half palm size Sri Yoga narasimha deity that he has been given by some devotee but he is not worshiping him as he already has saligrams etc . After I saw the deity I felt like worshiping him . My nitai and nimai deities are very big and difficult to bath everyday and travel with . So I was thinking that as yoga narasimha is peaceful form and some say helps in improving sadhana . So I thought I will ask you .Plus in my travel I can carry him , do the upacharas as He is small in deity size.

HpS - Seems O.K. Keep everything clean, be punctual, adjust the ritual to practical level. Even unitiated devotees can keep statues of the Lord and serve Them. Of course, as we advance to first, second, third initiation the relationship changes. Riding a tricycle, a bicycle, a motor cycle a car, and airplane...

What do you think . Can I do simple worship of the yoga narasimha deity.

Plus Kartik is coming so I seek your blessings so that I can do my sadhana properly . This kartik goal is 100 percent (try my best ) waking up for mangal aarti and finishing chanting my rounds morning time . Still struggling a lot but this time I feel some degree of understanding has come regarding being mature in life .

HpS - It works, no? Chant good rounds, pronounce well, focus the mind, chant with real praying.... Then all day long you are dancing in step with Jagannatha.

Thank you .
