 COMMITMENTS
SRILA PRABHUPADA ASHRAYA :

In addition to fulfilling the above mentioned commitments of

Krishna Upasaka, 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 Srila Prabhupada Ashraya :

1. I will chant atleast sixteen rounds of the Hare Krishna maha-

mantra everyday.
2. I will strictly avoid intoxication including coffee and tea,
meat-eating, gambling, cinema, sports and illicit sex. I will
also abstain from taking onion and garlic.

3. I will be well versed in the basics of Krishna Conscious

philosophy by reading the books of Srila Prabhupada
systematically and actively engaging in preaching ( according
to my capacity) to others about Krishna Consciousness.

4. I will follow a strict sadhana programme at home by rising

early in the morning and following a program similar to the
temple as far as possible. I will also attend atleast one
Bhagavatam class at the temple every week.
