About me

I hope that one day I can be purified by the association of sadhus, and become a genuine devotee of Lord Krishna. There is no greater, more blissful, more glorious, more fulfilling life than a life fully dedicated to the service of Lord Sri Krishna.

I was a thoughtful person who was engaged in thoughts about life and the universe, often reflecting on the basic philosophy of the nature. Unfortunately I was born in an atheistic family in China, having been strictly controlled by my parents for years. Thus for a long time, I have been searching for the Truth in an awkward way trying to become a materialistic scientist. I could not imagine a life without seeking the very source of our existence and the mystic world. I blundered into many paths but obtained no valid result. Until one day…

By Krishna’s grace, I happened to read a Krishna conscious article on the Internet, the teachings of wisdom resonates in my heart then; I was enthralled by the fact that being a servant is much more happier than being a master, that our very intrinsic nature is to serve the source of existence – Lord Krishna. I was positive as a boy that this is what I am aspiring for, what is waiting for me lifetimes after lifetimes.

By the mercy of so many wonderful devotees of ISKCON, I received so much nice guidance to help me negotiate difficulties, and serve Krishna with my life and soul. But one of the hardships that confront me is my family problem. I am a college student, not financially independent yet. My parents deem all religions as heretic, dangerous and dark. Indeed this is the nature of Kali yuga, light is considered darkness, while darkness is considered light. I am awaiting that day when I could serve Krishna to my best ability, the day I could awaken the dormant love for Krishna, the day the whole world becomes Krishna conscious. May it come soon, may it come soon.

Hare Krisna Dear Yechen,
Thank you so much for adding me in your friends' list. I was very pleased to read your interesting profile. How you came to Krishna Consciousness is really amazing. I also glad that you found the association of devotees very helpful. It seems that you are very sincere and have serious vows and efforts and Krishna always shows His mercy to such devotees.

The other day, I was reading Srila Prabhupada: Your Ever Well Wisher ( I am still reading it). What a great book to read! Well, to read about Prabhupada who gave us Krishna and also so many wonderful books, would certainly great to read about him. I found that very inspiring. Srila prabhupada had to go through so many hardships and obstacles after obstacles. But I think the Lord chose to be like that so that it can be inspiring to so many new devotees like us. Now, after reading your story, I am inspired again. Being born and brought up in a communist country like China, you have followed Krishna Consciousness so wonderfully that you could be an example. More over, you are so young in age but so matured in thinking and possess very good philosophy about Krishna. Hope to hear from you in future. I am sure we can learn from each other.

Your friend in Krishna's service,
Durga
