Hare Krishna! I am very new. I began a week ago. I've been reading, watching videos and I attended my first temple on Sunday. I have been waking every morning at 4:30 am for prayer and offering all vegetarian food to Krishna. I take prasadam daily. My friends, family and my significant other of 11 years are not devotees and have no desire to become a devotee. My significant other has no intention of marrying me and he doesn't want anything to change in our relationship. my desire is to be a pure devotee, however, I have some obstacles as you can see. I am struggling. Has anyone experienced this?
Hare Krishna Anju ji....
Welcome....
Being a new devotee first start chanting few rounds per day and u can start by reading small books of Shrila prabhupaad along with the bhagwad gita.........
U can get these books and mala to chant from book store of the nearest temple....
At starting level, u can go through the books-
'Beyond Birth n death (English)- Janam aur mrityu se pare(hindi)'
'On the way to Krishna (english)- krishna ki aur(hindi)'
'Beginners Guide(english)'
Also as u r in contact with Urmila mataji, u can attend her classes every Sunday at 10.30 to 12.30 in ISKCON temple situated at sant nagar. It will be very beneficial for u and also she is very insipring preacher.
I m also associated with delhi temple.
I come there every sunday.....
For any help u can contact me....
May lord krishna n Radharani bless u with his divine devotion n love..
Haribol
