Frequently Asked Questions
- Q1. Are Tulsi leaves really mandatory for Gopal Puja?
- Absolutely! Lord Krishna is an avatar of Lord Vishnu, and scripturally, no food offering or worship is accepted by Him without the presence of a sacred Tulsi leaf.
- Q2. Why does the kit include two types of Attar (Fragrance)?
- Unlike ascetic deities, Lord Krishna loves luxury, beauty, and sweetness! It is a deep tradition in Vrindavan and Mathura to adorn Laddu Gopal with cooling Chandan (Sandalwood) attar in the summer and sweet Rose (Gulab) attar during festivals.
- Q3. Do I need to use the heavy spices (Supari, Clove, Haritaki) everyday?
- No. This is a "Dual-Purpose" kit. If you are doing a simple daily worship as a parent caring for Gopal, you can skip these heavy spices. They are included so that if you hire a Pandit for a major festival like Janmashtami, the priest will have the exact authentic Tambula required for a formal 16-step royal worship!
- Q4. Where should I place the Diya?
- The highly respected orthodox ritual manual, Purohit Darpan, explicitly commands that the lighted lamp must always be placed on the right side of the deity ("দীপং দক্ষিণতো দদ্যাৎ")
