    There is always Pancaratra Pradipa in 2 vols Method of Deity worship for the International Society of Krishna Consciousness compiled by the GBC Deity Worship Research Group. Hard to get, I think it is Vedabase. Maybe someone can confirm.

    Yes, the set is on the Vedabase. I was able to locate the set some years back in a used book store in new condition!

    I guess that 'bhakti' will do in any circumstance, isn't?
    Of course one may not have it, but still we can try.... A nice quote from Sacinandana Swami (at the latest Govardhana retreat) relating a pastime of the Vrajabasis... Someone asked a gopi regarding worshiping Krishna, the gopi replied 'we don't worship Him, we love Him... '

    what about, "If one offers Me with love and devotion a leaf, a flower, fruit or water, I will accept it. "
    That sounds to me as the unified standard of worship.

    In used book store! I had to search and beg then call a few friendly BBT folk who located a set in India and got a devotee to bring them when he came back (I think) I'm saving up for Vedabase ;)

    Yup, used book store! I audibly gasped when I found the books there in apparently unused condition. Thrift stores and used books stores can be surprising sources of transcendental treasures.
