- Bhagavad-gita (BG 7.20) says, kamais tais tair hrta jnanah prapadyante 'nya-devatah: "Those whose minds are distorted by material desires surrender unto the demigods." Similarly, this verse (SB 6.16.38) condemns worship of the demigods
- Bhagavata means Vyasadeva is giving direction, that, If you want this profit, then worship this demigod. So he's playing childish, foolish things
I
- In the Second Canto, Third Chapter, of Srimad-Bhagavatam, it is stated that those who desire material benefits are recommended to worship different types of demigods, and in conclusion the Bhagavatam recommends
- It is corroborated in Srimad-Bhagavatam (SB 1.2.26) that those who actually desire liberation abandon worship of the demigods, and, without envy, concentrate their minds in the worship of Narayana, the Supreme Personality of Godhead
S
- Sarvarhanam acyutejya (SB 4.31.14). Krsna is known as Acyuta (senayor ubhayor madhye ratham sthapaya me 'cyuta (BG 1.21)). By worshiping Acyuta, Krsna, one automatically worships all the demigods
- Similarly, there is a list in the Srimad-Bhagavatam for worshipers of all demigods, according to different material desires
- Sri means "beauty," aisvarya means "riches," praja means "children," and ipsavah means "desiring." As described in the Second Canto of Srimad-Bhagavatam, one has to worship various demigods for different types of benedictions
- Srimad-Bhagavatam confirms this irregularity (of worship of demigods) by asking the question: "What is the object of worshiping the different types of demigods?"
T
- The most defective part of worshiping demigods is that it creates a definite conception of pantheism, ending disastrously in many religious sects detrimental to the progress of the principles of the Bhagavatam
- The statement in Bhagavad-gita that persons who worship the demigods have lost their intelligence is confirmed in this verse - in SB 3.32.4
- The worshipers of demigods are condemned both in Bhagavad-gita and in Srimad-Bhagavatam
- There are many foolish propagandists who say that worship of the demigods is also a way to reach the supreme goal, but in the authorized statements of Srimad-Bhagavatam and Bhagavad-gita this is not accepted
- There are many so-called religions devoted to the worship of various demigods, but here (in SB 5.5.10-13) good association means association with one who simply accepts Krsna as his worshipable Deity
- This sort of preaching (worshipping demigods gives the same result as worshipping God) is not only against the teachings of the Bhagavad-gita, or those of the Srimad-Bhagavatam, but is also foolish
