Hare Krishna...
PAMHO
I am currently writing a novel and it's a fantasy. I tried to write on spirituality but since I know nothing about it, that idea failed so, I just wanted to ask that even though it isn't the best, is it fine if I write on materialistic stuff since writing is a big thing for me but I know nothing avout spirituality to write on it. Although I do write poems on lord Krishna
thank you!
Hare Krishna

Yes, Offering of results is karma yoga.
Hare Krsna
Ok MataJi... I have started reading books of srila Prabhupada instead of the books I read first but my mother has told me that once I get in 9th grade I can't read any outside book, only course books. I do write about lord krishna but it's just small articles or poems like this one-
The All-Attractive Krishna
Your beauty can be both seen and felt
The thought of your velvet hair and butter arms
Makes every heart melt
Oh dear lord
Thinking about you overwhelmes my heart
The beauty in this world
is just a piece of your art
Your chest is like a palace of love
For everyone of your devotee
The charm of this world
Is nothing in front of your beauty
Instead of absorbing it
Your dark skin emits light
Listening and reading about you
Makes all my days bright
The sound of the venu played by you
Fills the universe with the sweet mellow of love
Everyone dances with joy
Whether they're in hell or heavens above
You are the taste of water to a thirsty man
And fragrance of flower to a bee
You are the touch of mother to a child
But oh lord you're everything to me
Dear mataji,
Jai. Its such a beautiful poem. It shows your love for Krsna. You ahev poured your pure feelings for Krsna in these words. Loved it. Please continue.
Dandvat pranam to your service.
Haribol.
Thank you so much mata ji! It's all your mercy Hare Krishna
i see it was if you write 'whatever' fantasy lord of the rings etc. Depends how you use that money.
Ok so, prabhuji if I give the money I get (if it get's published) to lord Krishna's service, is it okay?
Hare Krishna
Yes. Whatever job you do you can offer to Krishna, I am security guard (it have nothing to do with Krishna right?, I dont agree with radha r comments concerning karma-yoga.
Hare Krsna Punkech Prabhu,
PAMHO.
You missed the point. I mentioned about using "TALENT" in the service of Krsna. SInging, writing, painting, fine arts, talking - these are talents.
Being Accountant (me), Security Gaurd (you) is not talent. These are acquired skill sets to earn money and survive in the world. Still, we are expected to not spend the entire amount on ourselves. We are expected to give one portion to Krsna and His devotees/ services.
Haribol,
Your servant,
Radha Rasamayi DD
this is what you said:
Writing fantasy on material topics and offering a part of the results to Krsna is called Karma yog
So the beatles george harrison made material music and offered Bhaktivedanta Manor to Prabhupada. You saying this is karma-yoga.? I am sorry I dont agree with this.
Ok thank you prabhu ji Hare Krishna
