hare krishna!
all glories to srila prabhupada.
yet another hurdle my way, my parents just spoke to me due to the poor marks now they are telling me that if i dont give up bhakti that is stop doing pooja (they said they are clearing the panaphelia and evryting the whhole pooja room by tomorrow ) and stop goingto mandir , stoop lighting diya , stop celebrating festivals, stop chanting, stop talking about god. if i dont do the above they are telling me they wont put me in an collage they are saying if u want to study give up everything or else dont even pray. they are saying im abnormal from society and im not acting per my cast(kshtriyas) and even the brahmanas near by are telling dont do pooja pat listen to ur parents and get into good clg. is there a way out of this misery. all this pressure. im so so so broken confusted and deeplu hurt with all the back lashes and also my un expected score of 73.
plz tell me something i can do to get out of theis situation
hari bol!

Hare Krsna Prabhuji,
PAMHO.
My sympathies prabhu. I understand both your and your parents point of view. Results could have been better - you will also agree. So parents are naturally inclined to think that this poor results is because of your interest in devotion and are trying to curb those activities.
Just to tell you - even devotee parents expect their children to do well in exams. So do not think of your parents as demons.
Now how to do damage control? You have to lie low, adjust a little, temporarily. Do not compromise on chanting - your committed rounds have to be chanted everyday. REgarding deity worship, for now, you can keep Them in packed condition. Tell your parents that your incentive is - if you do well in exams, you will be allowed deity worship in future.Eating non veg - try to avoid - tell them you are not comfortable. Atleast come to veg food. If that is not possible, consciously try to eat more fruits and vegetables and avoid non veg. REading books - make it a point to stop book reading before exams.
All in all, pay attention to your studies and do well in exams. Then everything will fall in place.
Haribol,
Your servant,
Radha Rasamayi DD

accept my pranams
plz plz pray for me mataji, ill put my full efforts i have 2 more exams to write mataji where i can still improve and comensate 20 more days left for that exam i hope i cann do it by mercy of radha govinda.
Oh! Uttam prabhuji u r giving up?
First of all pls accept my humble obesiances. I know I m incapable of telling u anything, because I m even lower then the worm in the stool.
But pls I beg dont give up, because ur name itself suggests that u r UTAMMA then how can u give up.
I would have at least gave up my life instead giving up kc.
My also parents shouted I got 75%
Rascal , idiot what not that told, Naak katvake rakh diya tune, shameless.
But I m tolerating.
Aree u at least went to the temple many times, they allowed u, but for me they had caught since 4 yrs and may be out of 4 yrs only 4 times I visited temple even that too chup chupke and after coming home they nicely grinded me. what will I do now?
I m still Tolerating.
Two yrs before they slapped me broken my Deity what not they did but I m tolerating and DO U KNOW WHAT KRSNA GIFTED ME FOR MY PATIENCE???
I FOUND A JAGANNATH TEMPLE NEAR MY HOME 1 YR BEFORE AND DO U KNOW I GOT THE ASSOCIATION OF TWO POWERFUL NAISHTIK BHRMACARIS .
MY GOD I M SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
LUCKY , U know one devotee is 57 yr old and another is something 45 both r Amazing and u know one thing their Guru is our SP but they r not connected with iskcon, they were recently in iskcon but before 15 yts they left it, now why they left, is because they told me that they did not like living in iskcon but separate so they left.
They have their own property 80 acre farm of their father, Its name Is GOVIND DHAM, u know i ate the fruits of there and i became mad, it was simply amazing.
And u know their name is Radha raman prabhuji(45yr) krishna kanaihya prabhuji(57)
U know they r simply Amazing I dont understand.
They have an amazing glow on their faces , a shining spark and their mind and senses fully controlled.
And u know I once asked them that will u pls accept me as ur Servant till Death and allow me to live with u,
THEY SAID- YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.
Radha raman prabhuji dont know somehow he was attracted to me and he said dont worry "I m always with u" Till Death".
U know, the area where the temple is situated is very materialistic, all materialistic ppl live there and no one comes to the temple, whole day they both live alone practising devotional service dont know how(Its amazing). And one day I came (recent yr in 12thstd) and donno how some how or other I became dear to them.
And u know in this yr at the beginning 6 months I used to visit there and do kirtan and Chant Hare krsna and I also gained a lot of knowledge from them, due to which I did not study a lot and now I scored 75% Heheehehe. Even more than u.
Now I m having two association one of iskcon devotees and other of These Highly Elevated two vaishnavas WHO R READY TO ACCEPT ME WITH THEM WITHOUT ANY MATERIAL OR SPIRITUAL DEGREE, ( even if I fail in exams doesn't matter they told) I SIMPLY BEGGED AT THEIR FEET FOR THEIR SHARAN AND THEY ACCEPTED ME.
Actually they saw my sincerity in those six months, I used to bunk my class and go there to do bhajan, kirtans and my parents wouldn't understand anything and therefore after they understood how much I m serious about krsna consciousness they accepted me in their SHARAN.
I M STILL EXPERIENCING GOOSE BUMPS WHILE TELLING THIS. I M THE MOST LUCKIEST PERSON IN THIS ENTIRE UNIVERSE.
SO, u pls have patience and perseverance And Complete Faith And unflinching Trust in Krsna everything will be all Right.
BE HIGHLY SERIOUS ABOUT KC BECAUSE UNTIL AND UNLESS U R SERIOUS NOTHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN.
SO ALLL THE BEST.
HARIBOL

Hare Krishna,
Have Patience and Perseverance. Everything happens for a reason. God is right in your heart. Even if they remove all paraphernalia's of pooja room also... Krishna cannot leave ur heart. Make Krishna's temple in your heart. Do whatever your parents say. study well. Score of 73 is not bad. All education is for knowing God. But these days education is a needed for a good life. If you study well and earn well... then you can spend more for Krishna conscious activities later in your life... This is the difference between a devotee and non devotee. A devotee if he is highly educated and has good earning then.. he can donate for Krishna temples and help many people turn towards KC, do more seva by spending his own earnings and preach also becoz people like to hear from an educated devotee... Devotee doesn't mean devoted to only Krishna and not discharging his regular duties properly. A devotee if he does all his duties properly then only he or she is loved by his parents, society and Krishna as well.
Devotee should study well and become a perfect devotee and a perfect student and a good human and set an example to all others to follow. Cannot fail at any cost. You cannot let people say becoz he is into KC he became a loser in life. You must show that Krishna devotees are perfect in all fields just as our Krishna is perfect in all fields wasn't He? Krishna was a perfect student, a perfect son an able adminstrator and an a great worrior always cheerful.
Whatever happened happened.. don't worry for past. Just for time sake realize ..Krishna in your heart and keep chanting in ur heart no need to show off your devotion to ur parents. Can make a temple in your heart itself., and silently pray.
patience is the key. bad situations will pass. don't worry.
Hare Krishna.
Mataji dandvat pranam can you talk to me by anywhere because I live by no association till I have got into sincere kc through lockdown in YouTube in my town there is no iskcon temple i live in meerut . Plz add me a friend so that I can send you message. Dandvat pranam . Hari bol .
hare krishna mataji!
thank you for the words of wisdom, and the comfort mataji. the problem is i have shaligram dev and he needs regular pooja and i dont want to give him to anyone and i dont really know what to do now.
You can give shaligram to a devotee in temple( whoever you have trust that they can take care of it properly) to take care of for sometime, so that you can also feel stress free a bit. until this bad time passes off. hare krishna.
