Make a little temple in your house. Put it in a nice and if possible a prominent place. We should show our children by our example that we love God. Children when they are young they may not intellectually understand so much but theimpressions that they see go deeply into theirconsciousness and mold their whole lives. What you do will influencethem, not what you say. We should cook pure food stuffs in our house. We should offer it to God in devotion so that eating it will sanctifyour consciousness and the consciousness of our whole families. Offerlittle worship, not as a ritual but as an offering of devotion. Whenfor instance, we offer the lamp, in reality we offer our heart’s lovethrough this medium in devotion to God. It is such a wonderful,beautiful and sublime process of meditation. It is a meditation, not aritual. If it is done correctly and every day, it should raise ourconsciousness in the Holy Spirit. Read the Gita every day, and ifpossible, discuss it with your family members. Contemplate on what youread, and then you go to work. Live pure life and follow the fourregulative principles: no illicit sex, no intoxication, no gambling,and no meat eating.
