Namaste!

Very optly quoted.  Thanks for the elaboration, particularly point 6 on
prarabdha which also determines jeevas for going to other temples, is hard
hitting.

One more point that I would think in this regard is on 'adhikara' -
fittedness, which decides as to who shall pray whom.  Some gaudiya
vaishnavas say that krishna bhakti will not come to a jeeva so easily, it is
after many births of strenous sadhana that one will be chosen to be a
devotee of krishna.  Likewise, the one who is fit to pray to Him pray Him
while others languish their time by praying to others.   Thus 'adhikara'
works in disguise within a jeeva so that he will chose his beloved idol for
worship.

For one who has adhikara/fittedness to pray/contemplate on Narayana, put him
in the middle of a temple housing various other gods, beautifully carved
idols and huge gopuras, he will not be satisfied, and he looks/searches for
any 'Narayana' sannidhi there.

Infact, a vishnu bhaktha becomes very impatient when he is made to enter
other temples.  Because he had a vision of beauty of Narayana and he tends
to put him on high priority thus any other idol will not satisfy him much
less lessen the impatience in him to see Narayana.

sorry for my ranting.

sukumar
