HARE KRISHNA TO ALL !!!!! :)
In Gita Krishna said to arjuna that fight this war for my satisfaction and by doing so you wouldn't commit a sin and also by this means you would perform your prescribed duties and do the dharma sthapna after this war which was the sole purpose of war.
I am currently doing diploma in computers and after that i will do BCA and furthermore MCA by the standard means i will either end up doing job of someone or i will have a business of own to run.In both of this karma it feels to me that it is self oriented and related to me and my family but after reading karma yoga (i have only read uptil 3 chapters in Gita and not all) i have strong feeling to devote my karma to Krishna and maybe even to do something dharma for this society and to our country just like arjuna and pandvas did but i don't see a clear and vivid way through which i can achieve this i even thought of switching my stream to become a politician or IPS officer but i am really good at computers and interested in doing business or to become or to become PM of our Country but still i have no idea which one is best for me or how to achieve something that i have thought of to do so.
Any help and answer would be great please suggest me .

Yoga and chanting Is a form of good karma because of the good supportive/liberating purifying energies it/they produce,. Chanting is pro-active karma personally & positive work karmic Chanting is y-our best and most simplistic service.
The best thing is for you to surrender to Krishna and become His full time devotee in any of our ISKCON center if and only if your family members do not depend upon your earning or you are not the only son of your family. Because in B.G, Krishna says,"
Bg 18.66
mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja
ahaṁ tvāṁ sarva-pāpebhyo
mokṣayiṣyāmi mā śucaḥ
Hare Krsna Mataji,
PAMHO.
Very good thoughts. See, Gita was spoken to Arjuna, who was a householder kshatriya before the knowledge was imparted. In fact he wanted to leave the war at the time of this gyaan was given. After the knowledge was given, he remained a householder and a kshatriya - in fact he fought the war he was about to leave.
So what we understand from this - that Krsna doesnt want us to leave our prescribed duty and do something else. He says wherever you are, whatever you do, do it for Me. Since you are a student, it is your prescribed duty to study with due diligence, over and above your sadhana. One can study as a time pass, or as if life depends on it, or as a duty to Krsna. The activity of studying remains the same, the consciousness changes. What is important is that we change our consciousness. Its an internal activity as against changing our profession or career, which is more of an external activity. Krsna Consciousness is all about the journey within. Externals remain the same, until the internal consciousness changes.
I hope I am making some sense to you. Pls write back and ask if you have any questions.
Haribol,
Your servant,
