Question: Point came about bathing in the Ganges and Ganges is considered to be emanating from the Lord’s lotus feet. But the same water we use for bathing the deities which touches the head of the Lord. How is that appropriate?

Question: What is the simplest way to attain the lotus feet of Lord Kṛṣṇa?
