“ Wherever the materialists prescribe worship of Gaëeça and the devatäs, the Vaiñëava should instead worship the pure devotees of Lord Viñëu”

“Thus instead of worshipping Gaëeça to remove material obstacles, the devotee should worship Viçvaksena and the four Kumäras to remove obstacles on the spiritual path.”

“Whereas the materialist will worship the navagrahas (the nine demigods presiding over the nine planets), the devotee will worship Kavya Muni and the other navayogendras.
When the non devotees worship the deities of the directions (dikpälas), the devotees should worship Brahmä, the great devotee Çukhadeva, Sadä-Çiva, Garuòa, Närada, Kapila, Bali, the great Bhéñma, Prahläda, Hanumän, Ambaréña, the great Yama, Svayambhüva Manu, and the great Vaiñëava Vyäsa.This worship of Lord Viñëu and the Vaiñëavas is well known and has been performed age after age,”

“O great sages! Worship and sacrifice to Lord Hari is eternal, but the worship of the devas is not.

“These rituals that are performed by the devotees are very wonderful because they are in the mode of goodness. They are not in the modes of passion and ignorance unlike the so-called religious books of the atheists (demigod worshippers).”
Also in the Padma Puräëa, the sage Bhågu says to the Lord-
aho rüpam aho çélam-
aho çästir-aho dayä

“O Hari, Your form, nature, chastisement, mercy, purity, tolerance, munificent qualities are all wonderful.”

“A brähmaëa should not look at the deities of the demigods neither should he worship them. He should not partake of their remnants, nor should he enter their temples.”

“That brähmaëa that honours the forefathers by performing çräddha rites, and who eats the remnants of the devas and drinks the water that has washed their feet, accrues no merit whatsoever.”
