How can we worship Shri Krishna at home? Is it enough to install an idol, or are there other rituals that are mandatory?

Dhoopam samarpayami

Om Shri Krishnaya Namaha ,

Meditate and do japa and feel the immense blessings Shri Shri Maha Vishnu Naaraayana and Shri Lakshmi Devi brings forth. May Lord Shri Krishna and Shri Radhe blesses you.

My boss called me on a Saturday to let me know he that due to financial reasons, I was no longer needed effective immediatley. 3 days later, he sends me a text asking about work issues. How do I respond?

the Gaudiya Vaishnavas or in general by all Vaishnavas ;

Pushpham samarpayami

Gandham samarpayami

Why do people smoke?

3. no intoxication (no tea, no coffee, no chocolates, no alcohol , no narcotics and no cigarettes),

1. Offer Gandham ( sandalwood paste to the picture of statue )

But if you are serious about following a spiritual path and journey ;

What can I say to a scammer who thinks he loves me, but I don't want to be scammed?

Naivedhyam samarpayami

So worship away in happiness and gladness, learn how to do the simple panchoupachara puja.

3. Offer Sugandham Dhoopam ( incense cone known as dhupa or incense stick known as agarbatti )

Why don't I want to talk to my girlfriend when she loves me a lot? I feel bored.

In my opinion , anyone can worship Shri Maha Vishnu ( Naaraayana ) and Shri Lakshmi Devi. To gatekeep and to prevent others from worship and bhakthi is nonsensical. Shri Maha Vishnu Naaraayana and Shri Lakshmi Devi are not so uptight as us humans. If you look carefully at the images and artwork of Shri Maha Vishnu , he embodies all opulences , beauty, grace and powers. He is also a flamboyant archtype . . not as rigid as what others made him out to be.

5. Offer Naivedhyam ( food and drink offerings )

4. and no gambling (pretty obvious as this is additive forming)

What does it mean if you dream your dad died?

The most important thing here is faith , love and devotional service. Shri Krishna is not someone whose hell bent on my way or the highway or an extremely strict disciplinary master or a psychopath. In whatever mood and approach one does, he or she or they will come to me thus Shri Krishna does not care about our measly offerings and stinking bodies even if we shower a billion times in the Ganges River. What wins him over is your faith, love and devotional service. And also with how you treat others.. if you see that Shri Krishna is in all beings , then love flows naturally and you will feel naturally blessed.

Dheepam samarpayami

1. no meat-eating (including onion, garlic, eggs, mushrooms, carrots?),

How can I get over a break up?

4. Offer Dheepam ( one edible desi ghee oil lamp and one pure edible sesame oil lamp )

But. . . to be honest with you , a lot of Vaishnavas in India and South East Asia that I know personally , at home cooks with onion, garlic, carrots . . . so yeah . . . they only avoid eggs, meat, cigarettes, alcohol and illicit sex..

This is just my own opinion.

Have you ever had a weird experience immediately following the death of a loved one that made you think there is an afterlife and that the deceased person was communicating with you?

2. no illicit sex (only for serious marriage, procreation and love; not for one night stands),

begin with the simple and basic 4 Regulative Principles set out by

Jai Hind, Jai Shri Raam , Jai Shri Krishna.

What started the whole idea of femboys? What is the whole point of a femboy? Did a boy or a man just randomly start dressing or acting feminine or something?

2. Offer Pushpham ( fresh fragrant flowers such as jasmine and red roses )
