The Good Luck Happy Dolls
Many years ago Srila Prabhupada instructed his disciples to mass produce small Gaura Nitai Deities (he called them Happy Dolls) and distribute them on Sankirtan along with his books. He told the devotees that they should include instructions on chanting with the Deities, stating that if they chanted for the Deities and put some fruit in front of the Deities, then partook of the fruit themselves; they would enjoy great fortune!"
If Srila Prabhupada was happy to authorise us to distribute Gaura Nitai Deities freely on the street to all and sundry, even meat eaters and whomever as interested to take Them, without any qualification, then it would seem anyone can place Gaura Nitai on a mantelpiece, shelf or an altar at home and Perform the smallest worship, or even no worship at all, and be benefited by their presence in one's home.
Shrila Prabhupada said the purchasers could be told They were 'good luck dolls' and also told that if they simply waved a stick of incense to Them everyday they would get good luck. (Quotes by Devotees)
