SEVA ADI NIYAMO DEVALAYE DEVASYA CESTATE
PRAYAH SVA GEHE SVACHANDA SEVA SVA VRATA RAKSAYA

(HARI BHAKTI VILASA 8/503 from SKANDA PURANA Yamaraja instructs his messengers)

 "When someone worships the Supreme Lord in the temple, he must follow rules and regulations properly,
but when he worships the Lord in his house, he can worship as he likes, but he should not break his vows."
(from our page on Hari Bhakti Vilas and Japanga seva & Bhaktyanga seva puja)

Below are a few examples of how different devotees serve the Lord according to their capacity, etc.
