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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"answer\">\n<p><b> Answer: <\/b> 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.<br \/>\nPlease 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.<br \/>\nYou have written &#8220;for this also there is objection&#8221;. If the objections are from your family people, perform your spiritual practices by reading, Japa and meditation, contemplation etc. without much ado.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Question: Everyday I pray in the morning by worshiping mother goddess (Durga) and then Lord Hanuman.
