Question: Normally we see that our ācāryas have said that we celebrate Śiva Rātri, seeing Lord Śiva as a devotee of Lord Kṛṣṇa. But sometimes we hear that we cannot celebrate such festivals. What is the actual thing we should do, Guru Mahārāja?

Guru maharaj: We are allowed to worship Śiva and the different demigods in the proper position. They should be respected as the associates of the Lord, as the devotees of the Lord, not as independent, or equal or greater to the Lord.
