From the early 1970’s to the end of her life, Yamuna devi lovingly conveyed a large , parchment paged binder to each ashram she reside in “The Deity Book”, as it was dubbed was placed in the temple room, and guest who perused it frequently asked Yamuna to publish it. Before her passing , we planned to pursue its publications, and the study of seva- is our humble attempt to honor Yamuna devi’s wish.
His Divine Grace A.C.Bhaktivednata Swami Prabhupada Instructed Yamuna in the rudiments of Deity seva puja in 1969 at John Lennon's Tittenhurst Manor in England, using his own six inch Radha Krishna Deites , he taught her how to bathe , dress , decorate them and perform arati.
Yamuna wrote : " He told me i would serve as head pujari at our new London Temple, (and) in later years , Prabhupada revealed layer upon layers of information to me regarding deity worship and cooking in whatever location we found ourselves , he continued to train me and I have continued following that training throughout my life".
