Pankaja_Dasa Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 In a temple do devotees always offer dandavats or half-pranamas [?] to devotees everyday? What is Sastric injunction on this? Is it offence if you forget? What if you in a public place? Can you offer in your mind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 offence is if we do not offer "phisically" obeisances to the spiritual master and sannyasis.. but if we feel that all devotees are to be constantly homaged it is surely something that will bring us back to godhead of course we have to be practical... if offering "visible" obeisances to every devotee we see, can be a useless strangeness for people walking in the street (=something that can make them criticize the devotees of the lord) or something that can stop our practical service(imagine if me and you are bringing a heavy load somewhere in the temple, and i stop everytime to offer obeisances leaving you alone with all the weight) we can surely abstain from it with, in my opinion, the exception for spiritual master... we have to bow before the guru everytime and everywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
