One should specifically <strong>become absorbed in the appearance, activities, qualities and holy names of the Supreme Personality of Godhead<\/strong>. Thus inspired, one should perform all of one\u2019s daily activities as an offering to the Lord. One should perform sacrifice, charity and penance exclusively for the Lord\u2019s satisfaction. Similarly, one should chant only those mantras which glorify the Supreme Personality of Godhead. And all <strong>one\u2019s religious activities should be performed as an offering to the Lord<\/strong>. Whatever one finds pleasing or enjoyable he should immediately offer to the Supreme Lord, and <strong>even his wife, children, home and very life air he should offer at the lotus feet of the Supreme Personality of Godhead<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below article is based on the class given by HG His Grace Vrindavan Chari Prabhu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Process of Bhagavad Dharma<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We should <strong>daily chant minimum 16 rounds of Hare Krishna Mahamantra<\/strong>. This is the most important thing to do. One of the other important vows which we take in our spiritual life is to observe ekadasi vrata and we should always follow it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura says that <strong>if one does not take to the process of Bhagavad Dharma then one cannot understand the Supreme Lord<\/strong>. To try to understand the Lord with our imperfect senses is impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One should take to this process of Bhagavad Dharma whether one is a sanyasi, brahmachari, vanaprastha or grihasta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We should throw away all speculative knowledge and <strong>try to practice devotion to the Lord in any situations and circumstances<\/strong>. There is a song compiled by Srila Bhakti Vinod Thakura where he says,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">grihe thako, vane thako, sada \u2018hari\u2019 bole\u2019 dako,<br>sukhe duhkhe bhulo na\u2019ko, vadane hari-nam koro re<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhether you are a householder or a sannyasi, constantly chant &#8220;Hari! Hari!&#8221; <strong>Do not forget this chanting, whether you are in a happy condition or a distressful one<\/strong>. Just fill your lips with the hari-nama.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whatever be your position, you should constantly chant the name of Hari.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The process of hearing the glories of Lord is immensely powerful. Anybody can develop love of God by this process. And <strong>everybody is qualified to hear the glories of Lord<\/strong>. It does not depend upon one\u2019s social position. <strong>In Iskcon no one asks which caste<\/strong> we belong to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is why we see in our temple Srimad Bhagavad Class is given by everyone \u2013 sanyasi also gives, brahmachari also gives, vanaprastha also gives and grihasta also gives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-purple-color\">Offer your activities to the Lord<\/mark><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We should perform our daily activities as an offering to the Lord.
