How can I contact my favorite deity?

[Śrī Yogendra asked: Pranam! Namaskaram! Can You tell me a definite way to establish a contact with my favorite deity (Iṣṭa Devatā)? This question is unanswered by many intellectuals, astrologers and mantravādīs. Give me a direct answer instead of some intellectual logical explanation of the term Iṣṭa Devatā. Pranam!]

Swami replied: A direct answer means the way by which one understands the answer perfectly and completely. You should not put conditions to the preacher. The only important point is whether you are convinced or not, upon reading the answer from the preacher. You should not bother about the procedure of the explanation given by the preacher. Anyway, I will try to give the answer in one sentence, as per your desire. The only way to please your favorite God (Iṣṭa Devatā) is to realize your contemporary Human Incarnation as your Iṣṭa Devatā, after confirmation through analysis and then practically offering (sacrificing) your service and the fruit of your work to Him with full devotion.
