Цитаты: вознесение молитв (ванданам) (Шрила Прабхупада)
6. Ванданам. Вознесение молитв — это часть поклонения Божествам, однако можно рассматривать его и как самостоятельный метод преданного служения, наряду со слушанием, повторением и другими методами. Приведем лишь некоторые замечания, касающиеся практики вознесения молитв. Трансцендентные достоинства и богатства Господа бесчисленны, и человек, на которого произвели глубокое впечатление качества, проявляемые Господом в Его различных деяниях, начинает возносить Ему молитвы. Так он достигает успеха на духовном пути. Применяя этот метод, тоже нужно избегать оскорблений Господа, в частности: а)не кланяться на одну руку, б)не кланяться Божествам, не сняв обувь и верхнюю одежду, в)не поворачиваться к Божествам спиной, г)не кланяться Божествам слева и д)не кланяться Божествам, находясь очень близко к Ним. https://gitabase.com/rus/sb/7/5/23-24
Srimad-Bhagavatam 3.25.35. December 4, 1974, Bombay
So here it is said that sardham vacam sprhaniyam vadanti. So we should pray in such a way Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, sprhaniyam. Don't think He is dead stone. That is the conclusion of the atheist class of men. No, dead, no. You talk in such a way that He will be pleased upon you. He will be pleased. He is pleased, He is satisfied in Himself, but He wants to see that you are also talking about Him pleasingly. That's all. Therefore He comes. Paritranaya sadhunam vinasaya ca duskrtam. You talk unpleasingly or pleasingly, it doesn't matter to Krsna. But if you talk pleasingly, then you become benefited. You become benefited. So therefore there are stotra. Therefore Krsna's another name is Uttamasloka. Uttamasloka means He is worshiped, God is worshiped, by the best selected words, not patchy words. No. All selected words. So you will find in so many prayers, not only in our Vedic scripture and other scripture also, in Bible, in Koran, the prayer. Prayer is also devotion. Sravanam kirtanam visnoh smaranam pada-sevanam, arcanam vandanam dasyam [SB 7.5.23]. Vandanam, this vandanam. The Christians and the Muhammadans, they offer vandanam. Although they do not worship the Deity, but they offer prayers to the Lord. That is also good. That is also bhakti.
Arcanam vandanam dasyam sakhyam atma-ni... There are nine different processes. So you accept all of them or some of them or at least one. Then your life is successful. Sprhayanti. Very selected words. You surrender to Him, but don't talk things which does not please Him. You don't say that "God is formless. God has no eyes, no leg, no head." These things are there.
