The Deities are now beautifully dressed and an arati is performed
for them. The devotees also take charanamrita, the sweetened nectar
from the lotus feet of the Deities. It is prasadam, substance
sanctified by the mercy of Sri Krsna. After greeting the Deities
is Guru puja- worship of the spiritual master. The spiritual
master of the Hare Krsna movement is His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta
Swami Prabhupada.
