Some Guidelines for Devotion, esp. Lord Hanuman Devotees.

[Guest guest]

Dear Devotees in TBP,

 

Love and Love alone...

 

Received the following guidelines of devotion from Jai Hanuman Group.

I think these guideliness are common for any deity or God or Goddess.

Only thing that is required to be done is just replace Lord Hanuman

with your Ishta Devata, i.e., the God or Goddess that you like most

and worship. May God Bless Us All.

 

Love and Love alone....
