I was born and brought up in an atheistic environment except that my mother likes to worship Buddha a lot. I grew up reading all kinds of books and spending lots of time thinking and writing. After entering university, I became a loner, and then got to know a staunch Christian who gave me lots of initial teachings about God. However, at one point in 1998, in the last year of my university life, I got a book about Krishna, met the devotees and became a "question girl", and was determined enough to take up Krishna Consciousness despite the fact that my motherly Christian friend did three-days full fast for me, thinking I was on the wrong way. Then my spiritual life formally started in June of year 2000 when I first met my eternal spiritual master HH Tamal Krishna Goswami and took first initiation from him (fortunate enough to catch the "last train", but also unfortunate enough to have become an "orphan" Just after one personal meeting).

I have an eastern body, but a more "western" mind, and hopefully both will be spiritualized at one point.I loved English from the right beginning and it became my major at university. After taking up Krishna Consciousness, I started my first formal translation experience since year 2001 for HH Giridhari Swami, and used to travel with him all over the country translating for him.After graduating from university in 1999, I used to be working in a company for less than two years, then became an English teacher for a high school for almost a year. But as I became more into Krishna Consciousness, I gradually lost all interest in working outside, and by the pure mercy of Guru and Krishna, I was admitted to serve at krishna.com as a live helper since July of year 2003. I then became completely absorbed in this interesting way of preaching and slowly it became my life style to travel around preaching both in life and with a computer and internet.

No doubt, I loved my three visits to India since year 2002 and am now missing badly the beautiful Damodara arati in Mayapura temple every evening. In year 2004 to 2005, completely due to the mercy of the devotees, I was able to spend six months in India, taking Bhakti Sastri course and the Teacher Training Course in Mayapura, and found that preaching suits my way of service.

But oh, please don't mistake me as a pure giver. Actually the exact way to describe me is found in "My Skills"! :) So when you have some sorrows, I promise to try to be an instrument of peace and love of the Lord. And when I am in anxiety, I plead you to lend me your kind hand and not leave me! Please, please help me to remember that, everything, and everybody is but a way for us to develop our relationship with that naughty and yet loving Lord--Krishna!
