Adiyen Ramanuja dasan

Thank you so much to Sri U.Ve Velukudi Krishnan Swami for sharing his thoughts on a daily basis, which is helping us to be connected to Vedic teachings and look things happening around us in Vedic perspective. 

Seeking your blessing and praying for your entire family’s good health and prosperity. 

Question:

We were having a family tradition of taking care of cows and doing small scale Agriculture but somehow got disconnected from the teachings of Aacharya’s, had very less income, so we were not grateful for that life and left that way of living. Also, by the influence of Kali yuga and modern education system we left those traditional living and started to live in a city life (all these happened in past 30 years).

Now after getting reconnected to teaching from Aacharya’s, we are realizing the importance of living traditional life and doing Bakthi, taking care of few cows and producing our own food, offering to Krsna and having it as Prasadam which is more conducive to understand the mercy of Krishna and be dependent on him so that we can have the proper mood and longing to go back to Vaikuntha.

But now moving from existing lifestyle to traditional lifestyle is so difficult. we see entire society has been changed and we alone going back to such lifestyle is being difficult, can you share how to overcome this challenge so that we can set a positive example to the society on this importance which we are losing day by day? or should we try to adjust and live in whatever position we are now and practice Bakthi (as doing Bakthi does not have any material impediments)
