- Bhisma-pancaka vrata: who is it for, and why do we do it?
- Prabhupada gave us our vratas, but Vaisnava tradition give wide scope for other vratas and austerities.
- Principle of all vratas is that they should not disturb our service: they should enhance our Krishna consciousness, not disturb it.
- By chanting Hare Krishna, all things will be attained.
- Vratas and renunciation helps us control our senses.
- Our main sacrifice is preaching: Prabhupada said preachers don’t have to perform such austerities.
- Performing vratas and austerities should not be forced on anyone; devotees shouldn’t be pressured.
- Srila Prabhupada has already put pure devotional service in the palm of our hands.

We therefore have to learn how Krsna takes His birth, which is not ordinary. If it were ordinary, why should we observe the Janmastami ceremony? His birth is divyam, divine.

Should waking up early in the morning & such basic austerities, to call them , be forced upon sincere but weak devotees?
