jay shree krushna,

i have just taken brahmsambandh but apshri has not given me thakorji for seva. so untill i get thakorji for seva how can i save my self from asmarpit bhojan.?

Dear Vaishnavcharan,

Jai Sri Shrinathji Sarkar,

There are three ways that could be an assistance:-

1) Take the name of Sri Thakorji join your hands and close your eyes before having food. I mean you have to do it before intake.

2) you can touh your mala/kanthi sri to thali before having it.

3) Have Charnamurt before having food.

Dear Monica ji,

Jai Shri Shrinathji,

The question you have raised here is very very genuine. Like i am mostly on tour and this problem generally arises. I dont know how acceptable it to many people here but on tours since i dont have that kind of funds to have special bookings for my thakorji so we share ( me and my thakorji) the seat, with thakorji's chal swaroop chitra sri in my pocket. The Bhava Bhavna of worshipping Shri Thakorji Sri Shri Shrinathju sarkar by apshri's grace is of a friend and saviour.

Now the problems use to come in the same way about food etc. so what i did by limited understanding and grace of thakorji sri Siriji. My thakorji loves having patato chips (masala or plain salted no onions), He loves fruits readily available every nook and corner, cold drinks etc. In dhabas i request for food without onion and garlic but if not available i also buy some curd and join my hands and request sakhavatsal to have watever he feels like like curd rice & achaar & papad & salad are always without onion & garlic and even if he wants to have onion & garlic food who can stop he is sarva samrth.Its by his grace we get food so when in morning i request that "jithje thaki marzi ho uthe hi prsadi karijo' ( Where ever you like make us have prasadi) so if i dont find a restaurant where vegetables are widout onion & garlic due limited Bus Stops.  consider it as hari iccha and join my hands before entire food and thks sakhavatsal prabhu Sri shri Nathji Sarkar for his grace as daily prasad.

During Social function its a problem that thali is not Kore ( untouched and unoffered) secondly we are to offer only things obtained through our own money to thakorji.

In this situation best thing is take charunamrut with you before food take some charunamrut. this is what can be done.

The ideal solution towards the same and agyan for the same can be had from your Guru. Follow what he says.

Jai Shree Krishna

The times were different,  Achaar vichaar were followed by one and all. Even a sweet shop owner used to ensure that his workers followed proper achaar vichaar, today it is not so. For example, when we go to Shree Girirajji, we notice that all the Shop owners selling sweets and savouries do not allow you to touch them with your hands. Even if you were to taste, he will give you a small piece himself. Also they all have provision to wash your hands or readily help you in washing your hands etc. But you will not find this happening in any of the shops in cities or even at Mathura itself.  When we offer samagri to Shree Thakorji, it is also our duty to ensure that the samagri is properly made and befits to be offered to Shree Thakorji. One should not infer from this instance that one can offer anything from anywere to Shree Govardhandharan, that is not Pushti dharam. We ought remember here that Shree Mahaprabhuji has laid utmost importance to the Bhav of Shree Gopijan Vallabh and the entire foundation of the marg is laid on this Premlakshana Bhakthi. Hence, when percieved with Gopi bhaav,  the onus is on us to ensure that our shree Prabhu, who is the bhoktha of uttam samgris, is also offered that which is properly made keeping in mind dharmachaars.  To pick up anything form anywere and offer it to Prabhu would be deviating form the path of Pushti. This is my understanding.

More views and clarifications would help us in understanding this topic better.
