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

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.

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

What is the reason behind some people referring to themselves as "nice guys" instead of simply being nice?

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

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.

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

What is your favourite true story to tell at a party?

Gandham samarpayami

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.

Jai Hind, Jai Shri Raam , Jai Shri Krishna.

Why is Reagan seen as the best president in the USA when he literally destroyed the American economy with trickle down system and was strongly against worker unions?

This is just my own opinion.

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

the Gaudiya Vaishnavas or in general by all Vaishnavas ;

I’ve often wondered why fans aren’t deployed on GBBO during warm weather? I’ve seen too many desserts melt (and bakers too…). (I live in Pompano Beach and we try to use fans in lieu of AC as much as possible).

Om Shri Krishnaya Namaha ,

Dhoopam samarpayami

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

Why did Lord Shiva lust after Mohini - how can he be the supreme and worthy of devotion if he did such a thing?

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..
