How can we worship Shri Krishna at home? Is it enough to install an idol, or are there other rituals that are mandatory?

5. Offer Naivedhyam ( food and drink offerings )

Gandham samarpayami

Om Shri Krishnaya Namaha ,

What are some other ways to respond to someone saying "thank you" besides "de rien" or "vous êtes bienvenue"?

So worship away in happiness and gladness, learn how to do the simple panchoupachara puja.

In my opinion , anyone can worship Shri Maha Vishnu ( Naaraayana ) and Shri Lakshmi Devi. To gatekeep and to prevent others from worship and bhakthi is nonsensical. Shri Maha Vishnu Naaraayana and Shri Lakshmi Devi are not so uptight as us humans. If you look carefully at the images and artwork of Shri Maha Vishnu , he embodies all opulences , beauty, grace and powers. He is also a flamboyant archtype . . not as rigid as what others made him out to be.

But if you are serious about following a spiritual path and journey ;

What are the pros and cons of living in Male, Maldives?

begin with the simple and basic 4 Regulative Principles set out by

2. no illicit sex (only for serious marriage, procreation and love; not for one night stands),

Meditate and do japa and feel the immense blessings Shri Shri Maha Vishnu Naaraayana and Shri Lakshmi Devi brings forth. May Lord Shri Krishna and Shri Radhe blesses you.

Why do women stubbornly refuse to let men lead, even though they are attracted to the man, and the man both loves and desires them? Why do they get angry and blame the man when he gets fed up and walks away, when it's entirely their own fault?

1. no meat-eating (including onion, garlic, eggs, mushrooms, carrots?),

4. and no gambling (pretty obvious as this is additive forming)

But. . . to be honest with you , a lot of Vaishnavas in India and South East Asia that I know personally , at home cooks with onion, garlic, carrots . . . so yeah . . . they only avoid eggs, meat, cigarettes, alcohol and illicit sex..

Do you find Anushka Sen attractive?

4. Offer Dheepam ( one edible desi ghee oil lamp and one pure edible sesame oil lamp )

Dhoopam samarpayami

1. Offer Gandham ( sandalwood paste to the picture of statue )

How should one handle a situation where they suspect their partner of cheating, but their partner denies it and claims it is all in their head?

Pushpham samarpayami

The most important thing here is faith , love and devotional service. Shri Krishna is not someone whose hell bent on my way or the highway or an extremely strict disciplinary master or a psychopath. In whatever mood and approach one does, he or she or they will come to me thus Shri Krishna does not care about our measly offerings and stinking bodies even if we shower a billion times in the Ganges River. What wins him over is your faith, love and devotional service. And also with how you treat others.. if you see that Shri Krishna is in all beings , then love flows naturally and you will feel naturally blessed.

the Gaudiya Vaishnavas or in general by all Vaishnavas ;

When a dog smells another dog’s poo or wee, do they then remember that scent for when they smell it again, or even further know which dog they are smelling if they know the dog?

3. no intoxication (no tea, no coffee, no chocolates, no alcohol , no narcotics and no cigarettes),

Dheepam samarpayami

Jai Hind, Jai Shri Raam , Jai Shri Krishna.

What is one thing nice you did for someone today or something they did for you?

2. Offer Pushpham ( fresh fragrant flowers such as jasmine and red roses )

3. Offer Sugandham Dhoopam ( incense cone known as dhupa or incense stick known as agarbatti )

Naivedhyam samarpayami

I’ve often wondered why fans aren’t deployed on GBBO during warm weather? I’ve seen too many desserts melt (and bakers too…). (I live in Pompano Beach and we try to use fans in lieu of AC as much as possible).

This is just my own opinion.
