What should be done instead of changing deities during a prolonged period of hardship?
Increase the intensity of worship of the same established deity — larger rituals during festivals, learning Aavaran Puja, visiting temples on Amavasya, and consulting one's Ishta devata — rather than replacing the deity or the idol.
What is Avarana Puja, and why is it equivalent to a grand sacrifice?
Performing the daily enclosure worship (Avarana Puja) of one's Diksha mantra and associated deity yields spiritual merit equivalent to a grand sacrifice (Mahayaga), as detailed in the Rudrayamala, Mahanirvana Tantra, and Sharada Tilaka.
