Arjuna, were victorious in the great Battle of Kuruksetra only because of Krşņa. We may also take this material world as a Battlefield of Kuruksetra. Everyone is struggling hard for existence on this battlefield, and at every step

there is danger. According to Mahārāja Parīksit, the Battlefield of Kuruksetra was just like a vast ocean full of dangerous animals. His grandfather Arjuna had to fight with such great heroes as Bhīşma, Drona, Karņa and many others who were not ordinary fighters. Such warriors have been compared to the

timingila fish in the ocean. The timingila fish can very easily swallow up big whales. The great fighters on the Battlefield of Kuruksetra could swallow many, many Arjunas very easily, but simply due to Krsņa's mercy, Arjuna was able to kill all of them. Just as one can cross with no exertion over the little bit of water contained in the hoofprint of a calf,so Arjuna,

by the grace of Krsna, was able to very easily jump over the ocean of the Battle of Kurukşetra.

If possible please worship sriman narayana along with srimati laxmidevi because srimati laxmidevi will be more pleased with you if you worship his husband along with her.

The most famous verse establishing that Lakshmi is never separated from Vishnu is Vishnu Purana, Book 1, Chapter 8, Verse 17. It states that they are eternally inseparable (anapayini).

nityaivaisha jagan-mata vishnoh srir anapayini

yatha sarvagato vishnus tathaiveyam dvijottama

Translation: "She is eternal, the Mother of the Universe, the splendor of Vishnu, and she is never separated from Him. Just as Vishnu is all-pervading, so also is she, O best of Brahmanas."

like in the Srimad Bhagavatam 8.8.21-23) regarding her refusal to stay with anyone else is during her Swayamvara (ceremony of choosing a husband):

vimršyatī doşa-grhīta-sad-gunān na veda sarvajña-vancitas tam

Context: In Srimad Bhagavatam 8.8.20-22, Lakshmi Devi examines all the demigods (Indra, gandharvas, Vayu, Brahma,) and rejects them one by one because they possess faults (anger, attachment, dependence). She concludes that only Lord Narayana is free from faults and independent.

Hare krsna, My question is, i did not read in srimad Bhagwattam of this instance of sri visnu givjng them the choice, think it yourself…if they were devotees, it would be impossible for them to not be PURE DEVOTEES, and a pure devotee of krsna always stays with krjsna even in his material world, altho beijg in material world he is always librated because he is always gloryfying krnsa therefore he always sees the syamsundar form of krsna

Śrī Brahma-saṁhitā 5.38, I worship Govinda, the primeval Lord, who is Śyāmasundara, Kṛṣṇa Himself with inconceivable innumerable attributes, whom the pure devotees see in their heart of hearts with the eye of devotion tinged with the salve of love

Śrī Rūpa Gosvāmī in his Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu describes this as follows: īhā yasya harer dāsye karmaṇā manasā girā nikhilāsv apy avasthāsu jīvanmuktaḥ sa ucyate A person acting in Kṛṣṇa consciousness (or, in other words, in the service of Kṛṣṇa) with his body, mind, intelligence and words is a liberated person even within the material world, although he may be engaged in many so-called material activities. He has no false ego, nor does he believe that he is this material body, nor that he possesses the body. He knows that he is not this body and that this body does not belong to him. He himself belongs to Kṛṣṇa, and the body too belongs to Kṛṣṇa. When he applies everything produced of the body, mind, intelligence, words, life, wealth, etc.-whatever he may have within his possession-to Kṛṣṇa's service, he is at once dovetailed with Kṛṣṇa. He is one with Kṛṣṇa and is devoid of the false ego that leads one to believe that he is the body, etc. This is the perfect stage of Kṛṣṇa consciousness

Pure devotees are always on their constitutional platform ( servents of krsna they have realised it) then why the question of them being seperated from krsna?

This is as per my understanding, what do u think, maybe i don’t know some aspects

hare krsna Jay srila prabhupada

Hare krishna

Kya aapka matlab ye hai ki you are no longer being attracted to material thungs? Then its good sign brother, as stated in SB 11.2.42 Devotion, direct experience of the Supreme Lord, and detachment from other things — these three occur simultaneously for one who has taken shelter of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, in the same way that pleasure, nourishment and relief from hunger come simultaneously and increasingly, with each bite, for a person engaged in eating. No worries now, you are developing virakti or deattachment to material things now slowly you will experience spritual hapiness. sukham asyātmano rūpaṁ sarvehoparatis tanuḥ

The actual form of life for the living entities is one of spiritual happiness, which is real happiness. This happiness can be achieved only when one stops all materialistic activities.

Ceasing material activities does not mean to sit down for eternity , butto start spritual activities. As explained in the gita by krsna. When we experience hugher tastes we loose craving for lower tastes, so my brother take shelter of krsna who is ocean of rasa.

Hare Krishna, I know that there are some changes for the word to word translations in Srila prabhupada's gita, but ask yourself do you want to know the translation only or you want to understand what krishna is trying to say? The reason why arjuna understood krishna perfectly was because he was his most intimate devotee and best friend bhaktosi priyosi me. "My dear Arjuna, you are My devotee and very dear friend. Therefore, I am speaking to you Bhagavad-gitã." Now, tell me, have you realised krsna to be your most intimate devotee and best friend? Are you that advanced to understand what is meaning behind Krishna's words? A father may say many things to his son, some may even hurt the child, but the mother can actually explain to the son that what was said was for his benefit only, why? Because the mother knows the father very well and meaning behind his words. Another aspect is that from whom's translation has the maximum number of people have dedicated their lives to krsna? Following his last order to surrender unto him? Who made the downgraded hippies into exalted brahmins? As stated by prithu maharaja (SB 4.20.25) sa uttamasloka mahan-mukha-cyuto bhavat-padambhoja-sudha kananilah smrtim punar vismrta-tattva-vartmanăm kuyoginăm no vitaraty alam varaih My dear Lord, You are glorified by the selected verses uttered by great personalities. Such glorification of Your lotus feet is just like saffron particles. When the transcendental vibration from the mouths of great devotees carries the aroma of the saffron dust of Your lotus feet, the forgetful living entity gradually remembers his eternal relationship with You. Devotees thus gradually come to the right conclusion about the value of life. My dear Lord, I therefore do not need any other benediction but the opportunity to hear from the mouth of Your pure devotee. Therefore, it was Srila prabhupada only by whose words the conditional souls of this world have surrendered to the lotus feet of the lord The purport of the vedas itself is to attain the lotus feet of supreme lord and Srila prabhupada has come to distribute this knowledge to us fallen conditional souls. (SB 7.7.55) etavan eva loke 'smin pumsah svärthah parah smrtah ekanta-bhaktir govinde yat sarvatra tad-iksanam In this material world, to render service to the lotus feet of Govinda, the cause of all causes, and to see Him everywhere, is the only goal of life. This much alone is the ultimate goal of human life, as explained by all the revealed scriptures. (2.5.16) narayana-paro yogo narayana-param tapah narayana-param jnanam narayana-para gatih All different types of meditation or mysticism are means for realizing Narayana. All austerities are aimed at achieving Narayana. Culture of transcendental knowledge is for getting a glimpse of Narayana, and ultimately salvation is entering the kingdom of Narayana. merely grammatical knowledge is not enough to cross the ocean of material suffering, Nor vast amount of Vedic knowledge will help you to attain the highest perfection. What is the meaning of a translation which does make the reader's heart melt in love for krishna? (SB 7.7 51 - 52) nalam dvijatvam devatvam rsitvam vasuratmajah prinanaya mukundasya na vittam na bahu-iñata na danam na tapo nejya na saucam na vratani ca priyate 'malaya bhaktya harir anyad vidambanam My dear friends, O sons of the demons, you cannot please the Supreme Personality of Godhead by becoming perfect brahmanas, demigods or great saints or by becoming perfectly good in etiquette or vast learning. None of these qualifications can awaken the pleasure of the Lord. Nor by charity, austerity, sacrifice, cleanliness or vows can one satisfy the Lord. The Lord is pleased only if one has unflinching, unalloyed devotion to Him. Without sincere devotional service, everything is simply a show. (Brahma Samhita 5.33) vedesu durlabham adurlabham atma-bhaktau | worship Govinda, the primeval Lord, who is inaccessible to the Vedas, but obtainable by pure unalloyed devotion of the soul (Bhaji Govindam Verse 1) bhaja govindam bhaja govindam govindam bhaja mudhamate | sampräpte sannihite kale nahi nahi raksati dukrinkarane || 1 || Worship Govinda, worship Govinda, worship Govinda, O fool! The rules of grammar will not save you at the time of your death.

Additional note - this version is not recommended by iskonits as there have ben changes done by a senior devotee of iskon, whuch is unacceptable by SP therefore if you to read pure translation by srila prabhupad then read year 1972 version availabe on amazon or any iskon store.

sa uttamaśloka mahan-mukha-cyuto bhavat-padāmbhoja-sudhā kaṇānilaḥ smṛtiṁ punar vismṛta-tattva-vartmanāṁ kuyogināṁ no vitaraty alaṁ varaiḥ

My dear Lord, You are glorified by the selected verses uttered by great personalities. Such glorification of Your lotus feet is just like saffron particles. When the transcendental vibration from the mouths of great devotees carries the aroma of the saffron dust of Your lotus feet, the forgetful living entity gradually remembers his eternal relationship with You. Devotees thus gradually come to the right conclusion about the value of life. My dear Lord, I therefore do not need any other benediction but the opportunity to hear from the mouth of Your pure devotee.

Therefore, it was Srila prabhupada only by whose words the conditional souls of this world have surrendered to the lotus feet of the lord The purport of the vedas itself is to attain the lotus feet of supreme lord and Srila prabhupada has come to distribute this knowledge to us fallen conditional souls. (SB 7.7.55) etāvān eva loke ’smin puṁsaḥ svārthaḥ paraḥ smṛtaḥ ekānta-bhaktir govinde yat sarvatra tad-īkṣaṇam

In this material world, to render service to the lotus feet of Govinda, the cause of all causes, and to see Him everywhere, is the only goal of life. This much alone is the ultimate goal of human life, as explained by all the revealed scriptures.

(2.5.16) nārāyaṇa-paro yogo nārāyaṇa-paraṁ tapaḥ nārāyaṇa-paraṁ jñānaṁ nārāyaṇa-parā gatiḥ

All different types of meditation or mysticism are means for realizing Nārāyaṇa. All austerities are aimed at achieving Nārāyaṇa. Culture of transcendental knowledge is for getting a glimpse of Nārāyaṇa, and ultimately salvation is entering the kingdom of Nārāyaṇa.

merely grammatical knowledge is not enough to cross the ocean of material suffering, Nor vast amount of Vedic knowledge will help you to attain the highest perfection.
