Spirituality
To realise that ‘I am not the body but a pure spirit soul – part and parcel of the Supreme Spirit Soul, Sri Krishna’. This is achieved by chanting the Hare Krishna Maha Mantra at every opportunity. Audibly chanting the Hare Krishna Maha Mantra on beads (japa) for a specific number of rounds daily is a must because this transcendental vibration helps one control the mind, makes the environment auspicious and makes all the evils flee.
Food
Vegetarian-but merely becoming vegetarian is not enough.The food should be procured by committing the least violence. According to the ‘Gita’, it should be ‘Sattvik’. The food must first be offered to Lord Krishna and Radha Rani and then be accepted as ‘Prasadam’ or blessed food.
Education
Should not be merely for economic development and gain of power but more for evolving into a better human being with highly pure moral character, who observes and appreciates the Lord’s beauty and potency in everything that be, ever ready to serve Lord Krishna with everything he possesses.
Career
Working honestly and with optimum or ‘samyak’ effort without hankering for excessive rewards as given in the Gita. Avoiding interaction with gross materialists and atheists, even if they are close relatives, friends or colleagues as they hinder progress in Krishna Consciousness.
Marriage
Being faithful and committed to married life as given in the holy scriptures
