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 spend time preaching both in life and with a computer and internet, as well as doing some translation service. Right now, I am translating Mahabharata!

No doubt, I loved my Four visits to India since year 2002 and am now missing the spiritual astmosphere in the Dhama badly . 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, from time to time, I find myself still lost and fighting hard to find out who and where I am. If you happen to know the answer, please tell me, and kindly help me realize that, everything, and everybody is ultimately but a way for us to develop and deepen our relationship with that naughty and yet loving Lord--Krishna!
