All food and garlands as well as any other “offering items” should be offered to Lord Krishna and/or Lord Caitanya BEFORE being offered to Mukunda Goswami. These items should preferably be offered to temple or home Deities. Photos of paintings of Deities are also acceptable. Since temple and home Deities are usually made from stone or wood (including marble, other metal, such as obsidian, bell metal and ashta dhatu [a selective mixture of eight metals: copper, brass, tin, lead, iron, gold, silver and steel, used by the sthapatis in the making of Mayapura’s Panca Tattva Deities] and other stonework, shaligram- and govardhana-silas, neem or other wood) and since Deity paintings and photos are relatively commonplace, these are more acceptable than Deities made of soil, sand and jewels. Only in emergency situations, such as the guru or sannyasi being offered the prasadam having to leave the premises immediately and suddenly, should offerings be made in the mind.

According to Srimad Bhagavatam 11.27.12, Dieties can manifest in the following eight substances: stone, wood, metal, earth, paint, sand, the mind or jewels.

Michael Cremo and Mukunda Goswami outline a challenging new vision of humankind and the natural world, revealing how a spiritual approach can save humanity from the environmental catastrophe we have been heading towards. They contend that real solutions to our current environmental problems will be implemented only through a shift in human consciousness and an awakening to the spiritual dimension of this crisis. The authors touch on a wide range of topics, including the earth’s threatened wildlife, shrinking rainforests, eroding soil, proliferation of trash, and toxic waste disposal. The negative environmental impact of meat consumption is also uncovered–deforestation, agricultural inefficiency, and air and water pollution. Its in-depth exploration of history, scientific theory, and the metaphysics of karma offers concerned earth-watchers a spiritual blueprint for creating a better world.
