O son of Kunti, all that you do, all that you eat, all that you offer

be done as an offering unto Me.

EXPLANATION
Thus, it is the duty of everyone to mold his life in such a way that
he will not forget Krsna in any circumstance. Everyone has to work for
maintenance of his body and soul together, and Krsna recommends herein
that one should work for Him. Everyone has to eat something to live;
therefore he should accept the remnants of foodstuffs offered to
Krsna. Any civilized man has to perform some religious ritualistic
ceremonies; therefore Krsna recommends, "Do it for Me," and this is
called arcana. Everyone has a tendency to give something in charity;
Krsna says, "Give it to Me," and this means that all surplus money
accumulated should be utilized in furthering the Krsna consciousness
movement. Nowadays people are very much inclined to the meditational
process, which is not practical in this age, but if anyone practices
meditating on Krsna twenty-four hours by chanting the Hare Krsna
mantra round his beads, he is surely the greatest yogi. as
substantiated by the Sixth Chapter of Bhagavad-gita.

Following is a quotation by Swami Gaurangapada:
"For he who lives a hundred years, idle and weak, a life of one day is
better in remembrance of the Holy Names of the Lord."

Please chant Nityananda, Gauranga and Hare Krishna Hare Krishna
Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare, as
it is the ultimate offering for this age of kali.
