Om Shri Krishnaya Namaha ,

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.

Jai Hind, Jai Shri Raam , Jai Shri Krishna.

Why do I sweat so much after applying moisture or sun screen on my face? I have normal skin.

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

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

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.

What is the story behind bhai dooj?

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

Pushpham samarpayami

Why don’t the little sugar breeches gun owners understand that life isn’t all sunshine and rainbows?

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 ;

Gandham samarpayami

How would you feel if your friend confided in you that she is cheating on her husband, knowing that he loves her deeply? What emotional and ethical considerations would you grapple with in response to her revelation?

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..

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

Naivedhyam samarpayami

How does prayer impact those in need? Is there evidence that God intervenes and improves situations based on our prayers, or is it a psychological belief?

This is just my own opinion.

Dheepam samarpayami

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

My husband asked me why do I keep on complaining about him cheating. Why don't I just leave?

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

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

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

To a flat Earther, what's wrong with the idea that gravity is simply a force inherent to space which operates only in one dimension? Why do they go further and try to deny gravity rather than just saying it's different than physicists claim?

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