Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Please accept my obeisances

In the year 2021, the feet of my deities (Nityananda) were broken while I was on a trip through the mountains, I spoke with some devotees and they gave me these answers:

1• Repair the deities by putting glue and worship them again

2• Do a fire ceremony to avoid paying Karma and use the broken deities as a base to make other deities

I am not sure if some of these recommendations are correct and I would like to hear your words

Thank you very much Guru Maharaj

Hare Krishna,

HpS - ASA -- I don't know, agtSP, what our Gaudiya Vaisnava Acharya's say. I don't think Srila Prabhupada mentions this too much or even at all in his books, so it can't be too much of an important point.

I would say that if you can make some nice repair, then you might want to go on worshiping Them. On the other hand if you feel that They want to leave Their present bodies and get new bodies, the that is nice also.

Then the old forms should be allowed to disappear, merge back into the external elements.. dissolve in the river or ocean. or maybe kept nicely in some part of your ashrama as retired form.
