Hare Krishna dear Sisters and Mothers! Please accept my humble obeisances! All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
Many of Matajis sometimes ask about my timetable so i would like share it here.
"We are not a brahmana, shudra, or Indian or Russian ...we are servants of servant's servants of Gopis of Vrindavan" says Lord Chaitanya. So i am trying to apply that into my insignificant life.
8:00 PM - going to bed
2:00 AM waking up for chanting.
I try my best to chant at least 6-8 rounds before Mangala Arati.
4:30 AM Mangala Arati at the Temple.
5:00 AM I come back home and wake up my Deities. And start to cook for Them. Offer Tulasi Manjaris, incenses, then bhoga. While They eat bhoga I do some yogic asanas for my physical health which takes nearly 10 minutes. Then i read Bhagavad Gita loudly so that i and my Deities could hear. Maybe 2-3 verses.
6:00 i honor Prasadam myself.
7:00 - 11:30 i do my studies - seva
12:00 i offer bhoga to my Deities. Then honor it.
12:40 - 15:30 i chant my remaining rounds.
13:30 - 16:00 i read Srimad Bhagavatam
17:00 - 19:00 i continue my seva - studies
19:00 - 19:45 i attend Goura Arati at the Temple.
8:00 PM - put my Deities to sleep and go myself to sleep.
Of course it is not ideal timetable, because i do not read one hour per day but i try to read in between other duties. Also whenever my ears are free hear lectures and Kirtans. Why to loose time.
And also it is very difficult to maintain this timetable. Because some days i have to sleep little later because of some other duties, and chant next morning being sleepy. But i am trying my best to follow it daily by the mercy of Guru and Gauranga and all other Devotees.
Thank You so much!
Your insignificant servant, bhaktin maral
