_/|\_ Hare Krishna & Vanakkam dear Vaishnavas,


please advise me in my present situation. My sister in law gave birth 
yesterday to a beautifull girl. We are all happy and feel blessed to 
have received a new Lakshmi in our Family. My problem is that my 
parents said according our Eelam Hindu Tamil customs i can not do 
Abisheka etc. to the Deities in our House for 31 days.I follow a 
mixture of Gaudiya Vaishnavam and Sri Vaishnava belief. I do on 
Fridaya a special puja with mantras,Abishek,fire yajna for 
our House Deities Perumal(Vishnu)with Sridevi Bhudevi and Lakshmi, i 
say Narasimha & Narayana kavacam and Stotrams.

According to the ISKCON they ´ve advised me to continue with my normal 
puja showing arati,ringing bells,lighting incense sticks,singing 
songs,offering flowers etc. to Krishna and Narasimha, however i was 
also advised that to certain Deities i shall not conduct a special 
Puja where certain Mantras are used.

I will continue with my normal Puja but would love to do a very 
special puja with Abishek & fire yajna on this Weekend to my Home 
Deities Perumal with Sridevi Bhudevi and also Ganesh Statue. The 
Deities size are like the ones in a any Hindu Temple, they ´ve a 
seperate big room wich is only used as a puja room. 

I am quite confused about the Deity service,please all my dear loved 
Vaishnavas please advise me, if the deity workship can continue also 
for the next 31 days. Many Many Thanks for you replies in advance.


Hare Krishna, Jai Sriman Narayana Murthi ki JAI
