“In worshipping the temple Deity, my dear Uddhava, bathing and decoration are the most pleasing offerings.”
–Lord Sri Krishna
“A householder should lead such a life that he gets full opportunity to hear and chant. He should worship the Deity at home, observe festivals, invite friends in and give them prasada. A householder should earn money for this purpose, not for sense gratification.”
-Srila Prabhupada
The holy festival days like Ekadasi and Janmastami are the mother of devotion for those devotees who respect them.
-Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura
