Giving Love in Lima
Everybody wants to be loved. The secret of how to be loved as much as possible is to always be giving love because the more we give love, the more we are the recipients of love. Of course sometimes when we are giving love we are actually do more harm that good. This is called giving love in the mode of ignorance. To give love properly we must understand what is actually beneficial for the living being and give him that.
That which is actually beneficial for the living being is to reawaken his eternal loving relationship with Lord Sri Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. So if we want to purely and properly love someone, we must give them Krishna consciousness. The more we give Krishna consciousness to others, the more we will feel how we are being showered by the loving mercy of Lord Sri Krishna at every minute. This is why those who properly understood the science of Krishna consciousness absorb themselves as much as possible 24 hours a day in giving Krishna consciousness to others. In this way they are constantly doing the greatest good for others and the greatest good for themselves as well.

Sir, now I live in Japan. In Japan no temple, nowhere to worship. Sir, in Japan I eat meat, maybe beef. I feel guilty. My soul says I done a great sin. In Japan I have lived in last 4 years. I eat meat every day, but now I want to become free from the reactions of this sin. How to do this?

By the eating the flesh of the cow, you have no doubt committed a great sin. You are an accomplice in the killing of the cow and must take the reactions for cow killing. In this connection it is stated in the Caitanya Caritamrita:
go-aṅge yata loma, tata sahasra vatsara
go-vadhī raurava-madhye pace nirantara
"Cow-killers are condemned to rot in hellish life for as many thousands of years as there are hairs on the body of the cow."--Sri Caitanya Caritamrita Adi 17.166
But if you will fully surrender yourself now to Lord Krishna becoming His completely dedicated devotee, He will very mercifully free you from the huge volume of sinful reactions that you have accrued.
He confirms this as follows in the Bhagavad-gita:
sarva-dharmān parityajya
mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja
ahaṁ tvāṁ sarva-pāpebhyo
mokṣayiṣyāmi mā śucaḥ
"Abandon all varieties of religion and just surrender unto Me. I shall deliver you from all sinful reactions. Do not fear." --Bhagavad-gita 18.66
So kindly now learn how to become a pure devotee of Lord Krishna by taking prasadam, studying Bhagavad-gita As It Is by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada and attending classes and kirtans at your nearest ISKCON center.
