 COMMITMENTS
KRISHNA SADHAKA :
In addition to fulfilling the above mentioned commitments of Krishna
Sevaka, I will fulfill the following additional standards of devotional
service and I shall receive the blessings of Sri Sri Jagannath Baladev and
Devi Subhadra to practice Krishna Consciousness as a Krishna Sadhaka :
1. I will chant eight to twelve rounds of the Hare Krishna maha- mantra
everyday.
2. I will lead a pure holy life by avoiding intoxication ( alcoholic drinks ),
meat-eating, gambling and extra-marital sex.
3. I will study the books of Srila Prabhupada and attend the classes in
ISKCON as often as possible ( atleast the Sunday evening Bhagavad-gita
class every week).
4. I will worship Lord Krishna as far as practical at home, by setting up an
altar, offering arati and foodstuffs, worshipping the sacred tulasi plant
and following basic sadhana like rising early in the morning.
5. I will observe fasting on the Ekadashi and festival days as indicated in
the Vaishnava Calendar.
6. I will be dedicated to leading a devotional way of life by gradually
learning and practicing bhakti-yoga according to the teachings of Srila
Prabhupada under the guidance of his representatives.
