Summary: Is praying to the Lord for a healthy life detrimental to the devotional service? Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur said: "Whatever way Lord Krishna is pleased to keep us, we should accept without reservation. To desire sound health in order to worship the Lord is favorable for devotional service, to desire sound health in order to engage in sense gratification is not accepted. Devotees do not wish to follow the path of the non-devotees who demand that the Lord serve them. Rather they pray for good health at the lotus feet of Sri Narasinghadev who destroys all obstacles in order to worship Krishna. This is certainly favorable."
