Don’t Establish Deity To Make a Farce

For chanting Hare Krsna mantra, there are ten kinds of offenses. But Deity
worship, there are so many offenses. These are described. “You cannot sit
down before the Deity like this, you cannot yawn before the Deity, you
cannot talk nonsense before the Deity.” So many things are there. So
therefore it is said that “strictly following the direction and regulation
of arcana-vidhi.” So you are being trained up. In India they are trained up
since centuries. Their culture is different. They automatically can adopt,
immediately. They’re trained up. You are not trained up as yet. You are
being trained. So unless you are fully trained, don’t establish Deity to
make a farce. Better learn it perfectly in the temple, and when you think
that the members of the household are also now as good as the devotees in
the temple, then you must establish the Deity. That is required.
