Hare Krishna Mataji
I'm pursuing my 3rd year of Engineering. By the blessings and mercy of RadhaKrishna, my Guru and all Krishna Devotees, I got a govt. seat to study in a good Engineering college. I'm grateful for all the blessings that I received in these three years. But I have always felt that I have not utilized this oppurtunity to the best of my ability. I have taken part in few competitions and volunteerly gave presentations which I never did in school as I always had stage fear. After starting bhakti and practicing mind management, I'm trying to overcome all my fears and I could volunteerly do all these. Yet, I feel that I should have strived more in both material works and bhakti. For example, although I'm studying in non-IT branch, I could have learnt coding by now which is a vital skill for an engineer, could have learnt many other skills and at the same time, instead of wasting time on social media, I could have increased my chanting rounds(I have been chanting only 1 round everyday and I miss that too for few days, but I keep hearing lectures and kirthan).
My goal is to get a job by the end of this year, so that after I graduate, I can visit ISKCON temple everday. Without a job, even my parents will not agree to this. By getting a job, I can visit many famous Krishna temples, also get an idol of Krishna to worship. I can also inspire my parents to live a Krishna Conscious life.
I now fear that Krishna is upset with me because I have not utilized this oppurtunity to the best of my ability. I fear that He will stop blessing me.
Will He will take away whatever material and spiritual blessings He has bestowed on me because I didn't make use of it to uplift myself? Am I still on the path of bhakti? Does anybody who has received such blessings, never make mistakes(like procrastinating, ignorance, etc.)? Even if I put in my efforts now, will Krishna help me in achieving my goal?
Please help me get rid of these fear and guide me Mataji.
Hare krishna
first of all sorry that i am messaging while there is prabhu ji also for E counselling but I am also persuing CA and you are a one so thats why
I’ve been feeling disconnected from the world, as though I’m living in a dream. This sense of isolation makes everything feel insignificant, and it’s hard for me to focus on anything, especially my studies. I find myself deeply addicted to Instagram and YouTube, which I feel is adding to my detachment. It's like there’s a barrier between me and reality, and I keep waiting for the day when I’ll wake up, hoping everything will feel better, as if this “dream” will end. Recently, I’ve also gone through heartbreak, which has made these feelings even more overwhelming. I found ISKCON and this platform, and I believe I can share openly here, knowing that the devotees will understand and guide me through this difficult time. I truly need help to navigate through these struggles.

Please accept my humble obeisance
It's actually not my problem.The problem is about my aunty who is mostly eager to enter into bhakti.she knows many things but her relationship with husband isnot good.He don't like bhakti and prefer to lead material life and enjoy it.he doesn't want my aunty to do bhakti and maintain principle.Now she is trying to restrain illicit sex (not for procreation) happening ones in a month but she is failure in the conviction of husband.sometimes quarrelling happens for that and giving eye to another woman..what will be the best solution?
She chants 8 round daily
Hare Krishna Mata Ji, Dandawat Pranam
I want to have some private conversation with you mata ji. Where can I get connect to you mata ji?
Hare Krsna Mataji 🙏 all glories to Srila Prabhupada 🙏
Please accept my humble obeisance to you.
I longed to serve a shaligram shila since a long time and was quite obsessed about that. Knowing this suddenly A Godbrother of mine has gifted me a Gopal Shaligram Shila which some senior devotee has donated him from Kali Gandaki River, and then he had just served him for two three days.
I read that only men can serve a shaligram shila.
Whereas I'm just a 16 year old girl and I'm not initiated because of my studies. But I'm a pure vegetarian and chant 16 rounds since two years. Also, I'm serving a patitapavana jagannath deity since long time. Once I pass out my high school I'll try to get initiated as soon as possible. I'm extremely accustomed with ISKCON & Gaudiya Sampradaya's Krishna Conscious culture since childhood. I'm a born devotee.
And since almost a week, I'm serving the shila. Bathing him with Panchamrit once a week, and rest days with milk & Gangajal. Offering tulasi beads & leaves and bhoga twice a day.
Please guide me and shower your blessings on me so that I can become a better servant of Krsna. Haribol 🙏
Your servant

Hare Krishna Mata Ji
Mata ji From recent few months i am not able to worship my deities and think of them because whenever i try to worship or think, some unwanted thoughts and images gets triggered into my mind.
I searched on internet and get to know that these are the symptoms of the Religious OCD.I am troubled because of intrusive thought and unwanted images and some compulsive behaviours and i am not able to find the way out.
Hare Krishna🙏

Hare Krsna to all devotees and my respectful obsiciences to devotees who have engaged their life in service of supreme lord Krsna.
I have few doubts regarding Vaishnava Apradh please solve my doubts and help me . I have heard criticism of ISKCON and Sri Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada from one of my friend I immediately opposed him but he didn't listen me.So means by hearing Sahu ninda it comes under offence.
So does it comes under vaishnav Apradh if it comes then what should I do to uplift this Vaishnava Apradh from upon me .
Please help me Hare Krsna

Kindly reply.
