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

5. Offer Naivedhyam ( food and drink offerings )

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

Why are white men so obsessed with Asian women? I'm friends with people from all different backgrounds but I never see my other non-white male friends obsess over or talk about Asian women like I've seen the white ones do.

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

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

Om Shri Krishnaya Namaha ,

— fri(end)s forever!

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

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..

Pushpham samarpayami

Why can't NASA just bite the bullet and launch a plainly simple mission, audited by flat earther peers start to finish that definitively proves to even the smallest minds that the earth is an oblong spheroid, and not flat?

Gandham samarpayami

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

Dhoopam samarpayami

Is the saying "nice guys finish last" true? Can good intentions always lead to positive outcomes?

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

the Gaudiya Vaishnavas or in general by all Vaishnavas ;

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.

What were the first few days, weeks, months and then years like after finding out about your spouses infidelity? How did your feelings, and yours & their approach to the situation change in the immediate aftermath compared to later down the line?

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

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

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

Why do people keep denying the similarities between Latin and Italian by saying they are totally different languages when it’s obvious they sound similar?

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.

Naivedhyam samarpayami

What’s a historical event you wish more people talked about?

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

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.

Jai Hind, Jai Shri Raam , Jai Shri Krishna.

My cantankerous beagle is very badly behaved at the dog park and always starts barking at the other dogs. Would pepper spray be an effective method to correct his inappropriate behavior?

This is just my own opinion.
