ISKCON Deity Worship Ministry: http://deityworship.com/

very nice site! the contact page gives a 404 though

I think Nrsimha Kavaca P. is in charge of the site and the deity worship ministry, its standards etc.

There is always Pancaratra Pradipa in 2 vols

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, isnt?
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 dont 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)

Im saving up for Vedabase ;)

The DW site says that PP is now under revision due this Kartik.

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.
