Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta
| Ādi-lilā, Ch. 14
"But persons who are freed from all sinful activities and the duality of delusion engage themselves in the worship of the Supreme Personality of Godhead with determination." (Bg. 7.28) Only the less intelligent worship the demigods for their various purposes. The most intelligent worship only the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa.
Sometimes we, the members of the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, are accused of not approving of the worship of demigods. But how can we approve of this when it is condemned by Lord Caitanya and Lord Kṛṣṇa? How can we allow people to become foolish and  hṛta-iñāna , bereft of intelligence? Our propaganda is simply meant to enable intelligent people to understand the distinction between matter and spirit and understand the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is the whole spiritual identity. That is our mission. How could we mislead people to worship so-called gods in material bodies within this material world?
Our position of not allowing worship of the many hundreds of demigods is confirmed by Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu even in His childhood. Śrīla Narottama dāsa Thākura has sung in this connection:
anya devāśraya nāi tomāre kahinu bhāi ei bhakti parama-kāraṇa
"To become a staunch, pure devotee of the Supreme Personality of Godhead without deviation [ ananya-bhāk ], one should not divert his attention to the worship of the demigods. Such control is a symptom of pure devotional service."
