Jayapataka Swami: I am trying to think of situations where one is not in some difficulty. Usually there is always some difficulty. Devotional service to Krsna is different from other yogas. Like Mother Yasoda, she worried about Krsna; all the stones are so sharp, Krsna’s lotus feet are so tender, I want to know if He is being pierced by the stones. Like that there is always some difficulty. In fact the Lord, He likes to give situations to bring out our true nature. So we shouldn’t try to avoid the provoking situations but to surrender to Krsna in them. This is the training to us to become Krsna conscious at the time of death.

- Question: Often youths who are cultivated and brought up in bhakti life, have to move to other places for jobs and stay there. It not only increases the physical distance from the counsellor, but also dilutes the relationship to some extent since it is not possible for him to come and associate regularly with his devotee family. Also, he may face difficulties in accepting a new authority at a new place. In such situations how can he feel spiritually connected to his counsellor? January 20, 2021

- Question: When we are staying in VOICE, at that time we can do our devotional activities very easily, but when we go to our home we become slow in devotional life. At that time, our parents tell that you can take rest, no problem. So at that time, we, specifically, I, cannot get up for attendance and unable to complete 16 rounds. Now I am realizing that without anyone’s pushing or forcing, I cannot develop my devotional life. But I am trying. So my question is: What will help me to come out from this kind of situation and I can develop my taste in Krsna consciousness, without being forced by anyone? I don’t know whether this question is understandable or not? January 20, 2021
- Question: When we are preaching to new students after some time it seems that they will come to our VOICE and practice KC steadily. But due to some reasons, they leave.
