Both of you work. The parents are in another city. The children are on their screens. The quiet hour for Perumal disappeared years ago.

You are not failing at Dharma. You are living in Kali Yuga, exactly as the sages said you would.

The Srimad Bhagavatam foresaw this age, with Dharma standing on one leg, and gave the way through: in Kali, the Lord is reached by His name, by surrender, and by the company of His devotees.

Dharma on One Leg is a simple, practical guide to living that way today, rooted in the Vedas, Upanishads, Itihasas, Puranas, the Divya Prabandham and the Tengalai Sri Vaishnava acharyas. It covers prayer when there is no time, honest work, money, marriage, in-laws, children, ageing parents, illness and grief. Every chapter gives three levels of practice, down to the minimum never to drop, even on your worst day.

Not a book of lowered standards. A book about what the standard really is.
