Hare Krishna everyone,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada, Guru and Gauranga !

My name is Tulasi Priti DD. Currently, I am residing in Alachua FL. Sri Radha Shyamasundar of New Raman Reti are very merciful and caring too. Over the years, my attachment for them has grown. However, it's very hard for me to pick one favorite deity. I feel that traveling and being able to serve at different temples have developed a special bond with all the residing deities of those temples. 

My journey started under the shelter of Sri Radha Kunjabihari of Devsadhan temple in Detroit. They are the deities that I have served the longest. They have also witnessed my growth from being a non devotee , getting both my initiations and to a desiring to be devotee. So I would like to meditate upon them as I answer this question. They are like my parents who gave me spiritual birth and witnessed me getting a spiritual name. Whenever, I see them I feel happy just like a small child and when I don't see them then I miss them.

From this course, I desire to learn to serve my home deities better. I am hoping that I will fill in the blanks of whatever I am missing in my service to my deities and also solidify whatever I am serving correctly.

Hare Krishna Mataji,

Many times, people wonder why so many temples and why so many Deities. The teachings of Krishna consciousness educate us that Krishna has unique relationship with each devotee. And that relationship is personal. In order to deepen that relationship and bring us closer to Him, the all merciful Lord manifests in so many forms at so many places. The multitude of Deity may externally indicate duplicity to an untrained person, but to a devotee, it is that unique love taking a form and manifesting for that devotee alone. Material relationships has beginning and end. They excite and disappoint at lower levels. But Deities and the relationship with Deities is eternal and manifested in a higher dimension. Congratulations on your realizations.

Thank you for your thoughtful reply. I have not had the experience of visiting seeing many temples and taking the shelter of these merciful Deities... but I can imagine that the compassion and mercy is very present in all of these blessed deities and we are fortunate to have the opportunity to live and serve them. It is my prayer also, like you to learn how to serve them as they are meant to be served with total devotion
