Please accept my humble obeisances in your lotus feet
All glories to Srila Prabhupada
I am new I joined recently 5 months ago.
I started chanting 1 round initially then increased to 4 and now i chant 8 rounds everyday.
But i have a horrible habit of watching porn masturbating and thinking all bad things abour women in my life and i cant help myself.
I thought something bad about a senior devotee who is also married. And now i cant get rid of the bad feeling. How can i be so dirty. Have i committed an offence in her lotus feet? How can i ever get rid of it. I cannot even chant because i dont consider myself worthy of holy name. Please help me. I am very sinful.

The problem is, the society does not say what is sin.
Moreover It makes us believe that sinful mentality is quite normal.
The first day I joined college,
The guys are joking like this.
Do you masturbate regularly ? How many girls you wooed so far ?
The college culture is like this. Be it is engineering, medicine, arts any field.
They create a strong feeling that adultery, fornication ( mental and physical ), sexual fantasies , masturbation, pornography etc., are quite normal.
I strongly feel that cinema ruined Indian culture.
It changed the way one dressup, changed the way one behaves ?
What will happen when a boy or a girl watches cinema ? He feels that boyfriend/girlfriend culture is not a sin.
What is there in cinema ? There is an actor, who kisses an actress and acts in sexual or lusty scenes for the sake of money.
All these actors and actresses, without shame embrace, kiss, and acts in sexual or lusty scenes.
( They say that they are bold, insted of feeling shame. ). For the sake of money, they are ready to expose their body parts, even go naked also.
Now media, creates great hype for these shameless fellows. And college going fools hail them as demigods, and rolemodels.
No students in college talks about Dharma. What they talk about is, How to get good grades and How to get jobs.
And then they eat chicken biryani, booze, watch cinema and porn, have sex with girlfriend or masturbate.
This is the typical culture in socalled premier institutions such as IITs, BITS Pilani,NITs etc.,
The atmosphere everywhere is polluted with impious persons.
Even good natured person gets spoiled in such an atmosphere.
The parents and teachers themselves are not learned. They do not know what is the goal of life.
They fail to create a strong impression that there exists is supreme Lord.
They fail to teach what is pious and what is sinful.
There seems no hope for common man to protect himself from committing sins.
Only that supreme Lord save us from sinful thinking.
Hare Krishna Shatrughan Chauhan,
All glories to HDG Srila Prabhupada..
Firstly, I would like to say that I am not an advanced devotee.. but I would try to answer your question on the basis of books of Srila Prabhupada and lecturs of senior devotees..
1). First of all, continue chanting Holy Name no matter what the situation is..
2.) Be disciplined and consistent in chanting with regard to time and place where you chant your fixed rounds. Try to sleep early, may be last to last 10:30 PM.. Get up early in morning, if difficulty, late to late between 5 to 5:30 AM in the morning and after getting fresh, chant your daily round in that time..
3.) Secondly, use your mobile phone as little as possible as, it is the major thing that triggers your bad habbits when you scroll through your social medias and other platforms. Unsubscribe/Unfollow all non-sense channels/pages and follow more pages related to krishna consciousness.
4.) Keep good company and avoid friends with bad habbits.. Make contact with local devotees in your area.. Most important, avoid remaining alone at house, at that time go to nearby temple or anywhere..
5.) Lastly have faith in holy name and chant as may rounds as possible.
Your servant
Hare Krishna.. Jai Gaur Hari..
Hare Krsna Mataji
Shukadeva Gioswami has summarised the situation of Kali yuga as below
kaler doṣa-nidhe rājann
asti hy eko mahān guṇaḥ
kīrtanād eva kṛṣṇasya
mukta-saṅgaḥ paraṁ vrajet
My dear King, although Kali-yuga is an ocean of faults, there is still one good quality about this age: Simply by chanting the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra, one can become free from material bondage and be promoted to the transcendental kingdom. (SB 12.3.51)
Whatever Shatrugan Chauhan Pr has mentioned or what you have mentioned are the details of the faults of Kali yuga. And for devotees it shouldn't be shocking. Situation is much much worse than what it appears and it will certainly get worse in future. We need to focus on the only solution possible.
You are not at fault in responding to queries. But I think we should be careful with and take necessary steps/precaution if we sense something wrong. Please continue to respond, we need the good answers you give.

How can I be so dirty ?
Srila Prabhupada has said this
Just like originally when the rain falls, it is pure distilled water. And as soon as touches the ground, it become polluted. Immediately dirty. Similarly, as spirit soul we are pure. As Kṛṣṇa is pure... Kṛṣṇa has explained in the Tenth Chapter, paraṁ brahma paraṁ dhāma pavitraṁ paramaṁ bhavān, puruṣaṁ śāśvataṁ divyam [Bg. 10.12]. So pavitraṁ paramaṁ bhavān. Kṛṣṇa is paraṁ pavitra, complete pure. And we are part and parcel of Kṛṣṇa; we are also pure. That is our real identity. We are pure, but we have been contaminated by the touch of this material world. The same example = the rain falls, it is pure distilled water, but when it touches the surface of the earth, it becomes dirty. Therefore we see the rivers are full of dirty water. That is not the water is dirty, but because it is mixed up with the dirty dirts of the surface of the globe... ( Lec on BG 4.20 April 9, 1974, Bombay)
In summary spirit soul is pure. But association with material desires, the soul gets contaminated. There is practically no limit to how low a person can go.
Have i committed an offence in her lotus feet ?
Yes. It is offence to Krsna, guru and devotees. But this is at a mental level. It is a mental offence. If unchecked the mental offence will lead to verbal offence and physical offence.
And now i cant get rid of the bad feeling ?
To get rid of dirt, we need cleansing agent. The most powerful cleansing agent is Krsna himself in the form of His Holy names - Hare Krsna. By humbly surrendering to the holy names we can get rid of our material contamination.

Glory to the Sri Krishna Sankirtana, which cleanses the heart of all the dust accumulated for years and extinguishes the fire of conditional life, of repeated birth and death. This sankirtana movement is the prime benediction for humanity at large because it spreads the rays of the benediction moon. It is the life of all transcendental knowledge. It increases the ocean of transcendental bliss, and it enables us to fully taste the nectar for which we are always anxious.
I cannot even chant because i dont consider myself worthy of holy name.
This could be false ego. To consider oneself so fallen that holy name cannot uplift them is offence to Krsna.
When a baby is learning to walk on ground, it may fall on the ground and hurt itself. But the baby has to take support of the same ground, get up and start walking again. There is no other option.
harer nāma harer nāma

“ ‘In this Age of Kali there is no other means, no other means, no other means for self-realization than chanting the holy name, chanting the holy name, chanting the holy name of Lord Hari.’ ( CC Adi 17.21)
Nobody has said we are worthy of the holynames. We are NOT. There should not be any doubt about it. But it is only by the infinite compassion of Lord Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and Panchatattva that we have the previlige to chant the holy names. This is the greatest gift to humanity. It is up to us how we use this opportunity.
Hare Krsna
Ek bar Krishna Namee joto Pap hare.....Papir sadhoo nai tato pap kore.
Hari Bol😭🙏🏻🙏🏻
Hare KRsna Prabhuji,
PAMHO.
Chant - that is the first thing to do. Under all circumstances, chant.
Others include:
1) Sleep early.
2) Do not touch any gadgets after 8 pm - detox
3) Consciously read Bhagavad Gita or any book of Srila Prabhupada before retiring for the day
4) Eat vegetarian food without onion garlic, after offering to the lord.
5) Associate with devotee prabhujis.
6) Practise calling all devotee women mataji, regardless of age. Try to mean the word.
7) Understand that our bodies are nothing but bags of stool and urine. Everything that comes out of the 9 holes of the biody is abominable. Same applies to the body of any woman you are thinking of.
Haribol,
Your servant,
