Nimai Nitai prabhu from ISKM China recently shared a game that he thought of to engage his son in Krishna Consciousness. In this way, he is engaging his son to think of Krishna all the time even through the medium of games.
In this connection, we would like to point out what Srila Prabhupada had to say during a morning walk with his devotees on 30 December 1973:
Prajāpati: Śrīla Prabhupāda, the little children now, their favorite game is to play “Śrīla Prabhupāda.” They will make a vyāsāsana, the children, and one will play you, and they’ll sit on it and get a gong, and they’ll have play cookies, and the other children will come and take the cookies. They play like that. Then they hold class. They have a Bhagavad-gītā, and they’ll chant oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. And then after that they will just make up, nu na boy ee char,[as if chanting] like that. [Prabhupāda laughs]
Prabhupāda: Yes. Just see their intelligence. You are very much proud of your intelligence. Just see their intelligence. Everyone is intelligent. Therefore actual intelligence is he who knows Kṛṣṇa. He does not know Kṛṣṇa. He has got intelligence—you cannot deny that—but he cannot understand Kṛṣṇa. That is the defect. You have got intelligence; you can understand Kṛṣṇa. So if you don’t use your intelligence for understanding Kṛṣṇa, you are nothing but cats and dogs. Kṛpaṇa. They are called kṛpaṇa. Kṛpaṇa means miser. One has got money but he does not know how to utilize it, he is called kṛpaṇa, miser.
