Guest guest Posted May 31, 1999 Report Share Posted May 31, 1999 Home Base: Sri Mayapur Candrodaya Mandir, Navadwip Dhama, Nadia, WB, INDIA My Dear Spiritual Daughter, Please accept my blessings. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! Thankyou for your question cited below with my comments. > Dear Jayapataka Maharaj, > > Would you please enlighten me with the lila of candan yatra? I am not aware of the exact lila, but the Deities of Lord Jaganath are covered with Candana and various Deities in India during the hot summer period. In Southern Hemisphere this could be adjusted for the hot weather of their location. > Also, when celebrating the festival how should it be observed-for ex. > are both Radha & Krsna covered? The Visnu Tattva Deities are fully covered and Radha or sakti's only the foreheads. > How much of the eye area is covered, soles > of feet and palms? I would much appreciate your input. Covering is according to what is practical and comfortable for the Deity. Candan isn't put into the eyes, for example. > > Thank you, > Vilasini dd I hope that this finds you in good health. Your ever well wisher, Jayapataka Swami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
