Work life BALANCE for Devotees Part 1

[@whymeonly3653]

Keep on singing bhajans of Thakur ji, keep smiling like this. Thakur ji's love is same for all no discrimination. You must keep your lotus feet on the holy land of Vrindavan for Hari Darshan atleast once in a life. I thank Thakurji to give me a space to live here on this holy land to serve everyday. I being an innocent devotee of Krishna ji bow down for all the visible and unseen Hari devotees. 🙏🙏🙏Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare 🙏🙏🙏 ठाकुर जी के भजन गाते रहो, ऐसे ही मुस्कुराते रहो। ठाकुर जी का प्रेम बिना किसी भेदभाव के सबके लिए समान है। आपको जीवन में कम से कम एक बार हरि दर्शन के लिए वृंदावन की पवित्र भूमि पर अपने चरण कमलों को रखना चाहिए। मैं ठाकुरजी को धन्यवाद देता हूं कि उन्होंने मुझे इस पवित्र भूमि पर हर रोज सेवा करने के लिए यहां रहने के लिए जगह दी। मैं कृष्ण जी का एक निर्दोष भक्त होने के नाते सभी दृश्य और अदृश्य हरि भक्तों को नमन करता हूं। 🙏🙏🙏 हरे कृष्ण हरे कृष्ण कृष्ण कृष्ण हरे हरे हरे राम हरे राम राम राम हरे हरे 🙏🙏🙏

Tears in my eyes, you have struggled so much to achieve Bhakti life. This has given me enough strength to work harder and harder for the pleasure of Srila Prabhupada and Krishna. Thanks alot Mata... Motivate us like this only so that we can also make ourselves beautiful on the path of devotional service to Lord 🙌🌹

[@MohiniMadhavi]

🙏 thank you so much dear Ankita Mataji for your kind words! I am happy that this insignificant video and story helped you to be inspired. You are a very dear devotee of Krishna!

[@niharikasheregar]

Your video has given me an idea about how to solve 2 somewhat Major and important problems in my life. Thankyou mataji you are very hardworking.

[@MohiniMadhavi]

Glad to hear that, dear Nihakira

Hare Krishna mataji, thank you so much for this video and the 2nd part. You are incredible! Your story and the explanation of how to balance our life is something I strongly strongly strongly agree with you, and appreciate that you mentioned. Unfortunately in ISKCON I feel that in preaching to grhastha devotees (which probably makes up 95% of ISKCON) we do not emphasize the importance of healthy diet, exercise and sleep. It is almost impossible to chant nice japa if we are extremely sleep deprived, not getting proper nutrients (only fried prasadam, not much vegetables and fruits) and lethargic from no exercise. I really appreciate that you pointed out the exercise it's really important that we make our body which is a vehicle for krishna's service extremely fit, doing so will help us easily meditate on the form of the lord and concentrate our body, mind and soul on the lord. Wonderful videos!!

[@spiritual6327]

I can tell from personal experience and learning the hard way that yes, we do need to balance healthy eating, diet and sleep in order to serve the devotees and perform our sadhana in the best way possible.

Your story is really inspirational.......did your mother knew about your krishna consciousness Hare Krishna

That's a very high stage in spiritual life.

[@prathamsolanki5883]

I really respect your struggle mataji, Hare Krsna

[@reshmakalbande4350]

Mataji I have a fear which I want share with you. In India, if your husband is well doing,you need not work and I also did same thing but as now I am 40, I started having financial insecure myself for uncertainty such as what if my partner is no more with me (death or divorce) so at 40 my studies would outdated, long gap of work who will give job, tution or small work from home wnt give you financially stable life so I think every women should be financially independent on its own and less dependent on other.

[@MohiniMadhavi]

That's a concern in many women's lives. Answer is longer. So allow me I will make a video about it.

[@PrachiSharma-oh2yf]

Hare Krishna mataji 😇 Mataji u r so hard working and a role model for us to teach how to balance material life and spiritual life .... mataji i have a question....is it true that if we are having menstrual problem on the day of ekadashi then we can't fast .. otherwise it will be an offence?...

[@MohiniMadhavi]

thank you dear Prachi mataji for your kind words! No it is not true. We can have periods on Ekadashi and we can continue fasting. Periods is not a problem. It is a time when our body purifies itself. It is a purification time. Not a problem. And Ekadashi has nothing to do with our periods. We still continue fasting. Actually fasting on this day relieves some pain too.

[@PrachiSharma-oh2yf]

@@MohiniMadhavi woww Mataji.... Thanku so much for this amazing answer.... actually Mataji my mother and my bhabhi are not allowing me to do Fast on ekadashi because they say that till u have this menstrual problem ...u can't fast on ekadashi.... otherwise it will be an offence.... though they help me in other things to progress in bhakti...but not allowing for this fast.... though i showed them all the reasons to fast on ekadashi from shastras.,... mataji please guide what to do in this situation 🙏

[@MohiniMadhavi]

@@PrachiSharma-oh2yf If I were you I would find a way, maybe I would say i am feeling vomiting and eat only Ekadashi items, fruits, milk, sama...because i can act. But if you feel it is not good then what can be done!? When I turned vegetarian I used to tell my mom that meat is making me vomit, and giving me stomach ache and act little bit. That's how I survived being vegetarian. Now it says that on Ekadashi day in every grain there are all sins available in the world. If they are not allowing you to fast then the results may go to them. You won't be at fault. Do you have some medical issues? Something like underweight? If so then they may have right concern. But in any case there is no harm in eating Ekadashi items like sama kichri, fruits, nuts, milk, vegetables.

[@PrachiSharma-oh2yf]

@@MohiniMadhavi actually Mataji i live in joint family...and slowly by watching my behaviour that now i remain happy and healthy most of the time....and some other positive changes .... my family is also starting following the limbs of bhakti like chanting.....and I think that if now i will disobey and if I will make excuses..then i think that it will give negative impact..... because my cousins also Iive with us....if i were living only with my parents and my real sistees then it would be possible ...it is my thinking..... please forgive me if i Said anything wrong Mataji 🙏 No Mataji ...no medical issues... Oh that sins will also go to them...this is terrible.....then what should i do Mataji.... please guide 🙏

[@MohiniMadhavi]

@@PrachiSharma-oh2yf what you told also is making sense. If their bhakti lata is growing slightly then yes, better not to hurt them. Just continue praying, I don't know what you can do other than that. Krishna will give them intelligence regarding Ekadashi. Or you could take in charge of cooking on Ekadashis giving rest to your mom. And cook very tasty ekadashi dishes. That's actually would be the best thing to do. Cook paneer dishes, different versions of sama rice, curd sama, lemon sama, different sweets, fried snacks. If you become creative you will find win win solution.

Hare krishna dear mataji A man is harassing me and asks me to kiss him. I don't want to talk to him, but he talks to me by giving me "kasam" and harass me. I want to be tolerant and humble devotee so I don't oppose him but I thought I should ask my senior devotees whether I should protest or not?

Avoid him at all cost. Tell to your parents as soon as possible. They will take an action.
