Learn the rituals for serving the divine form.
After the success of the US Deity Worship at Home online course, the ISKCON Deity Worship Ministry is delighted to be presenting this online course in the UK.
“This Deity worship – this is training. The same thing will continue when you go to Vaikuntha or Vrndavana.” - Srila Prabhupada
Deity worship is a key means by which to develop a personal conception of the Lord and the mood of service. In the home, it can help to make the Lord the centre of the household and worshippers to purify their existence. Ultimately it is the training ground for the spiritual world, and thus a fundamental aspect of one’s development in Krishna consciousness.
What Will Be Covered:
- This in-depth training covers the knowledge, skills and values required for the daily worship of Deities in your home and introduces you to concepts that are applicable both in the home worship environment as well as the temple.
- You will be able to interact with students and facilitators and get feedback directly from the facilitators.
- There is a balance between the philosophical, theoretical and practical aspects of Deity worship in your home. All the primary Deity services will be demonstrated, such as: acamana, waking and putting the Deities to bed, bhoga offering, arati, and bathing/dressing.
- You will also deepen your understanding of Srila Prabhupada’s books and teachings.
- By establishing a relationship with the Lord through His Deity, we can easily reawaken our dormant Krsna consciousness. By learning how to do the rituals of Deity worship and understanding their function and purpose we can easily develop our loving relationship with the Lord.
