Hare Krishna
PAMHO
I am putting bhagwad Geeta verses on whatsapp status by taking inspiration from vrindavaneshwari mataji .
But now one thing comes in my mind that should i focus on my inner purity first and then do this service or can i do it together.
Please guide me 🙏

Hare Krishna Prachi Sharma mata ji,
I think you are a Brahmina by birth isn't it Sharma's are brahmins. I am hoping that you never touched meat in your life, I also hope that you never had intoxications like ( beer, whisky etc. etc.) , and I am quite sure that you are not into illicit sex !!!, And I am very very sure that you never have done gambling in life till now.
You might have eating onion garlic or tea/coffee.
I think 4 regulative principles you are already following without ur knowledge from the begining of this life. Isn't it? small irregulaties like onion, tea coffee you might be having which can be corrected. I am quite sure that it is not a big issue to stop using these in ur diet.
gambling destroys--> honesty and truthfulness
intoxicants--> destroys clarity of decision making and judgement.
illicit sex---> destroys cleanliness and austerity.
meat eating --> destroys compassion for others sufferings.
now these are 4 main fundamental things which are essential to be followed to having inner purity.
What else is internal purity?
I am hoping you are already pure maybe small here and there changes you are done a pure devotee you can become. You are a diamond in rough ( unpolised stage of a diamond). You need just some gauidance of a siksha guru who can carve a pure devotee from you. Maybe you can take advice and follow directions of Radha Rasamayi DD mata ji and proceed futher you are going to be a great devotee. Cheer up. Just some polishing needed.
Hare Krishna.

Yes mataji by lord's mercy being a brahmin i am already following these four regulative principles.
And Yes mataji I was eating onion, garlic,tea and coffee sometimes not so much .
But when I got this information that these should not be taken from the lectures of amogh lila prabhuji then now I am trying at my level best to ignore these items.
But now very rarely and that too for maintaining peace in the family i take these items.
And sometimes my family members also supports me and they don't cook Onion and garlic .
And when i have to eat onion and garlic, though very rarely now, then on that day i pray to lord by chanting 15 Times hare Krishna mahamantra to forgive me .
This method i learnt from one of the lectures of Anand vrindavan prabhuji.
And this also true mataji that by lord's mercy i am getting the association of wonderful devotees like you and Radha Rasamayi mataji .
I will surely keep taking guidence from u and Radha Rasamayi mataji in achieving krishna Prem.
And I want personal guidence from u all also mataji and that i also know that for this opportunity i have to join iskcon and visit there regularly.
But for me it is possible only when i will become financial independent because then i will be able to convince my family more about the amazing purpose of iskcon.
And i will try at my level best to become financially independent as soon as possible .
Hare Krsna Mataji,
PAMHO.
Why is it mutually exclusive. By putting one verse as whatsapp status everyday, is it stopping your inner purification? What is the threshold to decide level of purity to start putting as whatsapp status?
If you wait to be purified first, then you will wait for lifetimes. Preaching is also purifying, if you do it in the right spirit and guidance. The rght spirit is as a service to Guru and Gauranga, under instructions and empowerment from guru.
Haribol,
Your servant,
Radha Rasamayi DD
Thanku so much mataji for relieving me from this doubt and for providing me the defination of a right spirit.
Mataji u suggested me in our previous discussion to join that group on whatsapp of young Matajis but i am unable to reply their because as i am clicking on that link then it is showing that "the page was not found".
So i am replying here... actually mataji as i told u that my family members ,though they support me in bhakti, are not that positive about iskcon yet due to some rumours and me and my mother uses common phone so i can't join that group now.
But when the right time will come then i will surely join that group.
Hare Krishna mataji
