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

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.

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

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

Could humans be selectively bred, like dogs, to create 2 subspecies that can no longer have offspring? Do I not understand selective breeding properly? Im not worried about the moral implications, just the science please.

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.

This is just my own opinion.

5. Offer Naivedhyam ( food and drink offerings )

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..

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

Why cant I sleep even tho I am sleepy? I am not anxious or worried but my body just doesn't want to. I've been awake for almost 2 days and feel sleepy but I cant sleep. My doctor said its anxiety related but its not. Is this normal?

Jai Hind, Jai Shri Raam , Jai Shri Krishna.

Dhoopam samarpayami

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

Have you ever been a victim of gaslighting? What happened?

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

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

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.

Why do most men who date ugly women brag like it's some big accomplishment, when any guy can pull an ugly woman?

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

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

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

Why do many people think that Japan is not a gay-friendly country whereas 72% Japanese support same-sex marriage (the same number as in the US)?

the Gaudiya Vaishnavas or in general by all Vaishnavas ;

Naivedhyam samarpayami

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

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

Why am I so triggered and depressed over a minor thing?
