My parents watch T.V. Though I don’t prefer watching, they call me & I go so as to look normal before them. They laugh at me for not being normal. I have tried explaining to them the reasons they should not watch T.V, but they don’t seem to understand. They reply by saying, it’s for entertainment, break from routine work etc. What will we do in our free time,according to them. I get frustrated when I find my own family members not co-operating with me.My Consciousness also gets degraded due to this.

What can I do here?

Please do not say to Your parents not to watch TV!

You have some source for happiness which is association with Devotees and knowledge of Krishna Consciousness but they do not have it yet.

They need something for happiness.

And we can not take that so called happiness from them forcible.

You just try to chant Your rounds and if they force You to watch then tell them that You have to study.

Why You should find time for TV and not for Temple? Interesting!

Child can watch TV but no time for chanting or for Temple.

It is the mentality of Kali Yuga :(

If that film is giving You some knowledge then You can watch sometimes. But if it takes Your time from going to Temple or from chanting or reading then we have to avoid it.

And i know how these films are broad-casted: millions of ads in between which agitate minds.

Again, please do not be selfish! Do not try to force them to leave their habits! Firstly You become strong and slowly slowly by Your own good qualities You will attract them also to Krishna Consciousness.
