      Haribol!!! Congratulations. 

      Please share with us your realisation if any, whether being on the path of Krsna Consciousness helped you get good marks. 

      Secondly, you are now an ambassador of Krsna. Let people know (if you are comfortable) that you are devotee of Krsna. This may inspire them also to pray to Krsna while studying.

      Congratulations once again.

    • Hare krishna mataji dandvat pranam.   Very appropriate and though saying you said that as shiksha guru.  I will try to combat the situation with fighting spirit towards myself in my pravrities for the situation how will be my future in kc in this way . I will pray and have faith and really work hard combat ! 

  • Hare Krishna,

    I am having a daughter and her studies is important for me as equally as Krishna consciousness. Krishna will never accept me if I disregard my parental duty just to take part in other KC activities. In fact taking care of my daughter both spiritually and materially itself is a KC activity.

    Similarly a student duty is to study and doing the prescribed duty in the mood of service to Krishna itself is a Krishna consciousness duty.

    Haribol,
    S.Balaji.
  • You can pray in our heart , listen KC music using ear phone and chant in some local temple in pretext of going to a friend's house. No one can stop KC.

      Being Krsna Conscious doesnt mean at all that one does not do one's prescribed duty, which is studying in the instant case. Krsna Consciousness is a state of the mind. It doesnt stop us from doing our prescribed duty. The first thing neophyte sadhakas do is give up their prescribed duty - because there is drudgery in that.

      Pls remember - Arjuna was a grihasta, kshatriya before hearing Gita and he remained one after hearing the Gita. It is mentioned very clearly in Ch 4 and 5 of Gita that we have to do our karma under any circumstances.

      I dont think it is good advice to a teenager to go to a friends house or local temple at the time he should be studying. We are adults, they are impressionable. They are looking for excuses to escape, we should not encourage that. 

      If you see Srila Prabhupada's life also, he also curtailed deity worship during his years in college, to complete his studies. We have to ensure that our children study and come up in life.

      Krsna consciousness is a way of life they have to learn to adopt. It doesnt interfere with our doing our duty at all.

      Haribol.

      • Pranams. Prabhuji posting the question mentioned : "non devotee parents forcing me not to pray and serve lord". That is why I advised him to chant in some local hindu temple in neighborhood in "pretext/excuse" of visiting a friend. If  chanting at home earns criticism better chant outside. We cannot give up chanting 16 rounds even during exams. I never advised him not to do his prescribed duty. I myself have good academic record while practicing Krishna consciousness. I am just asking him to be low profile in maintaining basic sadhna.

        One can excel in academics as this will bring glory to ISKCON as people will think these devotees are intelligent people. 

  • Attachment & detachment, sepperation is a real thing as wormth is a semptum of the Sun's shining, detachment from material energies is a semptum of involking the "Unlimited" atomic energy of The holly names. So yes, you are causing disturbance to the materialy orientated hearts & minds of your parent's. So
    As with your study's plz. begin to strategicly pick your time & places for your devotional chanting practice, if you feel like you must continuously take shelter of the "transindental" energies of the GodHeads do-so with sweet *Bahshons, & Millodeus Raggas, kind sweet gentle songs that are pleasing to the hearts & mind. From 4:Am. Till 6: or 7:am is a better time to express your more exuberant intensities as with "Public Sankiertonna
    Extreme jubalence needs to be designated to those times, I suggest! Be nice/kind when you are involking those unlimited Atomic energies. & better results will be on the horizon. Purafying is liberating' but by sharing pallitibly your experience with them, with others you are actually serving Krishna & Hi's mission to reawakening our/everyone's "long neglected & forgotten relationship with Him.
    B-kind with the mantras.
    & your Karma will naturally be kind to you! Theoretically
    Hare Hare Krishna Krishna Hay* please protect Us all! ?
    • yes please don't be combative, be king and generis be kind & comforting with you (Krishna- powers!)
