Jaganath says:
One does not offend a Bhagavata or one who is very dear to
the Lord. The only other act that could make the Prapatti ineffective is
worship of any Devata that has His or Her loka within this material world.
This includes Shiva and His family, Brahma, Saraswatri etc.
So, am I wrong
in coming to the conclusion from reading this that if one offers the lamp,
not only to Lord Govinda, but out of respect to also Shree, Ganesha, Lakshmi,
Saraswati, Garuda, Mukhyaprana and the guru, then prapatti is ineffective and
I am destined for rebirth?
If this is the case, should I remove Shree and
Ganesha from the peetum, and also the photo of the guru? Is this what he is
inferring to be the right path?
