mangala arotika

[Guest guest]

Hare krsna

I am very confused as magala aarti is guruasthakam. if it is 8 verses in praise of guru shouldnt it be offered to srila prabhupada murti instead of all other deities in the temple? I know that from mayapur.info mangala aarti is performed to all deities. Also isnt Gaura aarti for Gaurahari, not the other deities?

Why is this, the aarti performed to the other deities instead of the one who the aarti is sung for.

i am very confused.

can someone please help?

••the temple etiquette states that the protagonist of the scene is, in every situation, the deity who entitles the temple. Another answer is that there's no envy between Krsna and Prabhupada, so the deity is very happy if you praise His Divine Grace. Another answer is that in the main altar you have also parampara', Srila Prabhupada included. Another answer is that Prabhupada has come to teach us to love Krsna.. so he's happy if we see the murti.

••Gaurahari is Krsna and Radharani, and Krsna and Radharani are Gurahari. it is not possible to think at them as separate. So there's no problem if one sings "Jaya Gaurachandra" before Sri Sri RadhaMadhava... But if you feel more happiness chanting before Gaura Nitai, you can go.. no problem

••who is the original guru if not krsna?
