Bowing Down in Honor of the Deity

In the Naradiya Purana there is a statement about

bowing down and offering respect to the Deity.It is said that,"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 go directly to the abode of Krsna.

 

Standing Up to Receive the Lord.

--------------------------------

In the Brahmananda Purana it is said,"A person who

sees the Lord's Ratha-yatra car festival and then stands up to receive the

Lord can purge all kinds of sinful results from his body."

 

Following the Deity.

-------------------

A similar statement is there in the Bhavisya Purana,in

which it is said,"Even if born of a lowly family,a person who follows the

Ratha-yatra car when the Deities pass in front or from behind will surely be

elivated to the position of achieving equal opulence with Visnu."
