Hare Krishna Dear Prabhuji/Mataji
Please Accept My Humble Obeisances
All Glories to Srila Prabhupada
My family members are not v ry conducive towards my Krishna Consciousness. They are very envious of devotees and the entire ISKCON Movement. They blaspheme and even use abusive words towards Devotees which I cannot even mention here. Honestly speaking, I feel very sad and think that because of me all this is happening. I try my level best not to react to their sinful activities as they already think that you have been brainwashed. I try to remember Srila Prabhupada's instructions like the material world is very dangerous.
I have not even gone to the temple because If I go alone while making some excuses and lying to them for Krishna they do not let me go before sharing my live location . I tried to politely convey to them that I will go to the temple alone but they forcibly come withe and blaspheme there in front of the deities.
What should I do??

Maintain your faith, conduct yourself honestly, and allow Krishna to handle the details.

Keep the faith, practice truthfully, and let Krishna take care of things. Your love, if kept at peace, will become a guiding light for the whole family.

Hare Krishna,
Try to make a temple in your heart. Chant in silence. Until you start earning and living on your own feet. You have to follow instructions of your parents.
But it doesn't mean you must restrict your bhakti. You can pray in silence chant in your mind.
Hare Krishna
Thanks
