[Kum. Laxmi Thrylokya: If a person has prayed to God that the person will donate his or her hair to God at a holy temple after successfully overcoming a certain situation, can the person skip the donation of hair in that temple and instead donate it to any cancer foundation with inner devotion to God?
After knowing the truth that God resides in the Human Incarnation, is doing puja everyday at home compulsory?]
Swami replied: Donation for some useful purpose such as to the poor or to sick people in need is always a better idea. It is more valid than donating to a temple in which our donation may or may not be used. One can continue the worship of representative models of God to increase one’s theoretical devotion, ensuring that the worship does not cause any wastage of food materials. Increasing your theoretical devotion will make you a better devotee of the Human Incarnation of God, whom you have identified.
