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

Naivedhyam samarpayami

Meditate and do japa and feel the immense blessings Shri Shri Maha Vishnu Naaraayana and Shri Lakshmi Devi brings forth. May Lord Shri Krishna and Shri Radhe blesses you.

But. . . to be honest with you , a lot of Vaishnavas in India and South East Asia that I know personally , at home cooks with onion, garlic, carrots . . . so yeah . . . they only avoid eggs, meat, cigarettes, alcohol and illicit sex..

Do Americans realize how much goodwill and credibility they've lost in the past two weeks?

This is just my own opinion.

Do you think that the Democratic Party of the USA is not fighting back against Trump? And if so, why do you think so?

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

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.

1. Offer Gandham ( sandalwood paste to the picture of statue )

What makes outside showers appealing? Why are they not commonly seen?

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

the Gaudiya Vaishnavas or in general by all Vaishnavas ;

2. no illicit sex (only for serious marriage, procreation and love; not for one night stands),

Why do I keep dreaming of my mom, who recently passed away from cancer, still being sick and in pain?

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.

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

Jai Hind, Jai Shri Raam , Jai Shri Krishna.

What happened to your school bully?

Om Shri Krishnaya Namaha ,

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

2. Offer Pushpham ( fresh fragrant flowers such as jasmine and red roses )
