How can we worship Shri Krishna at home? Is it enough to install an idol, or are there other rituals that are mandatory?

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

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.

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.

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

Why did Democrats echo that Joe Biden was greater than FDR and should be put on Mt Rushmore? Why did Democrats vote for Biden blindly in the primaries and deny he was mentally impaired? Was it the lying media, or are Democrats ignorant and gullible?

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

Om Shri Krishnaya Namaha ,

Dhoopam samarpayami

What explanations do flat earthers have for the shape of our planet? If they do not have any, why should their opinions on this topic be considered credible?

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

This is just my own opinion.

Dheepam samarpayami

Why do US military soldiers/officers have a chest full of medal ribbons when they probably haven't been in a combat situation? Are the medals for attendance, good behaviour, or long service perhaps?

Pushpham samarpayami

5. Offer Naivedhyam ( food and drink offerings )
