Hare krishna everyone dandawat pranam . I'm sreekar, college student pursuing statistics. I used to masturbate in my school days and it lead to me severe depression, anxiety and physical weakness etc. Now I really want to change my life style and decided to worship krishna. But there are few queries that are needed to be resolved
(1) : What did Bhagvan Krishna told to arjuna in bhagavad gita regarding controlling sexual desires?
(2) : Is it possible in this digital age to practice brahmacharya?
(3): How could one do krishna bhakti while living at home?
Thank you reading patiently
Yours sincerely
Sreekar

(3): How could one do krishna bhakti while living at home?
To practice the regulative principles of bhakti-yoga one should, under the guidance of an expert spiritual master, follow certain principles: one should rise early in the morning, take bath, enter the temple and offer prayers and chant Hare Kṛṣṇa, then collect flowers to offer to the Deity, cook foodstuffs to offer to the Deity, take prasādam, and so on. There are various rules and regulations which one should follow. And one should constantly hear Bhagavad-gītā and Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam from pure devotees. This practice can help anyone rise to the level of love of God, and then he is sure of his progress into the spiritual kingdom of God. This practice of bhakti-yoga, under the rules and regulations, with the direction of a spiritual master, will surely bring one to the stage of love of God.(BG `12.9 Purport)
(2) : Is it possible in this digital age to practice brahmacharya?
Yes, but highest goal of life is to please Krsna.
