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

This is just my own opinion.

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

If a cat is feminine in German, what article do you give to a male cat?

5. Offer Naivedhyam ( food and drink offerings )

the Gaudiya Vaishnavas or in general by all Vaishnavas ;

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

Why don't I get sleep at nights?

Dhoopam samarpayami

Gandham samarpayami

Pushpham samarpayami

Why am I losing interest to get a job and to all my desires because of this spiritual awakening? How do I get through life because of it?

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.

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..

What are some ten strong legal evidences that are needed for a divorce?

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

Jai Hind, Jai Shri Raam , Jai Shri Krishna.

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

How long will it take Christian president-elect Donald J. Trump to restore our nation's moral values?

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

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

Om Shri Krishnaya Namaha ,

How do military families handle communication when a service member is injured overseas?

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.

Dheepam samarpayami

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

My stepdaughter’s mom tells her I’m not a real dance teacher, but my stepdaughter has seen me in action. Why does she still question my abilities?

Naivedhyam samarpayami

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.

How would you define love?

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