Swami B. V. Tripurari Live Q&A; June 25, 2023: Seeing the World From Others' Perspectives

Questions on today’s Swami call:

If someone is addicted to alcohol, does one come in contact with Sri Krishna from the moment that one first calls out to him? Is it wrong to keep calling out for Krishna’s help even if one falls back into old habits one time after another?

Is the will of the jiva the same as atma-jnana?

Is our only real will as an atma to serve Krishna?

Some people say that they are spiritual but not religious. What has religion done for the spiritual life of people? 

Are there gopas who desire to serve only Sri Balaramaji and not Krishna?

Is it common for the gopas to call Balarama Dauji? Is he seen as an older brother by all the cowherd boys?

How can I preach to people in a way that they get something out of it and without turning them away?
