But Prabhu ji majority of devotees don't wants to leave cities and go outskirts of the cities , they want to remain in the cities and execute Krishna consciousness. ? Is it possible , because you said right that here to maintain ourselves we need to work very hard and i see so many devotees don't agree with the idea of simple living , high thinking . So how to convince others and most importantly ourselves for that??
That's why I say in the short term, there is no solution :) Practicing Krsna Consciousness while living in a materialistic city, working in an office, and spending half of the day browsing on Instagram will always be challenging.
Waking up early and chanting 16 rounds before work, reading Srila Prabhupada’s books daily, regularly hearing Krishna-katha from devotees, eating only prasadam cooked by devotees, worshiping the Deities and Tulasi at home, avoiding television and mindless scrolling, and sleeping early—these are some of the basic practices that can help devotees live a Krishna conscious lifestyle even in a busy city environment.
In addition to these, there are many subtle aspects of devotional life that one can gradually adopt by deeply studying Srila Prabhupada’s books and steadily working to elevate one’s consciousness.
