Question: Everyday I pray in the morning by worshiping mother goddess (Durga) and then Lord Hanuman. First I offer prayer to Mother Goddess by chanting Durga Chalis and then Devi Kavach. After that I worship Lord Hanuman by Chanting Hanuman Chalis. But some people say that, I should worship only one God. In this way I am getting confused. Please guide me sir. Before prayers I offer water to Tulsi plant and other Plant and trees. I offer prayers in the room where I am sleeping. For this also there is objection. Although we have separate room for prayers but I am not able to concentrate in that room. Please guide me sir, what should I do.
Answer: You need a proper orientation in respect of your spiritual life. I do not know whether you have taken any Mantra Diksha (spiritual initiation) from any person and accepted him as your Guru. It is advisable for you to have initiation.
Please contact any of our centres which is nearest to you and talk to the Swamiji-in-charge. In the meanwhile start reading the Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna and Gospel of Holy Mother Sri Sarada Devi. This will help you to a great extent. Do not worry much about the formal worships and customs.
You have written “for this also there is objection”. If the objections are from your family people, perform your spiritual practices by reading, Japa and meditation, contemplation etc. without much ado.
