More on demigod worship (to PVR and other gurus)

[Guest guest]

Dear PVR,

Thank you for the excellent and illuminating reply. I do have one

followup question in the context of exactly what you have written:

In your interpretation, Lord Krishna says that he has created the

devotion to specific deities and satisfies the good desires of the

devotees through the specific deities. Applying this to Ishta

Devatas, it means that Lord Krishna has created devotion to

distinct Ishta Devatas in distinct people's charts - correct? But

why? If my Ishta Devata is Ganesha and I am worshipping Shiva,

what am I doing wrong? If I am doing nothing wrong, then what

makes Ganesha my Ishta Devata and not Shiva? In what way is

Ganesha more appropriate for my enlightenment?

 

Thank you,
