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

begin with the simple and basic 4 Regulative Principles set out by

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.

Om Shri Krishnaya Namaha ,

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

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

Can you explain the difference between being a conservative Republican and a liberal Democrat? Can you provide some examples of their ideologies?

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..

4. Offer Dheepam ( one edible desi ghee oil lamp and one pure edible sesame oil lamp )

I am skinny, I have been doing 100 pushups a day for more than a month and am seeing very few results, everything is so unfair, I workout more than anyone I know and am still skinny, why cant I build muscle?

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

So worship away in happiness and gladness, learn how to do the simple panchoupachara puja.

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

Would you let your son wear leggings to school?

This is just my own opinion.

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

Naivedhyam samarpayami

Jai Hind, Jai Shri Raam , Jai Shri Krishna.

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.

From an axiology/value theory point of view, how can one say that a diverse society is better than a uniform one, especially given the negative effects of diversity (racism, sectarian conflict, problems arising from extreme cultural relativism)?

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