Prabhupad's books are so strong, just read it everyday, especially Srimad Bhagavatam. I was in college for past 4 years. I was living in the hostel and most of my colleagues were intoxicated (drugs). They were intoxicated most of the days. The only association i had was Srila Prabhupada's, mainly Srimad Bhagavatam. The most wonderful thing was that i could maintain my sadhana and i was saved from falling down even though i was in such a situation. Read it every day. Atleast half a chapter day, chant 16 rounds, hear SP Lectures. Its a personal experience. All Glories to Srila Prabhupada.
it is very difficult, so please try to make Your closer ones Devotees.
Being very respectful to them and being a very exemplary son You could then make Your parents love Krishna Consciousness.
Especially, it is easier for a son to make mother to follow his views. Because mothers usually love their sons more than daughters. And fathers vise versa - they love more their daughters.
Associate with the books of Srila Prabhupada. Be very firm in your sadhana. Get up every morning by 4.00 am. Chant your rounds, do mangalarati, then tulsi puja, then ceto darpan marjanam, then 10 offences, like the temple. Then continue with your rounds. If you have the means, you could log on to mayapur.tv every morning and watch darshan arati and then SB lecture. Eat only Krsna prasadam. Do your work and try to preach.
That way, you will always remain spiritually strong and healthy.
