About me

eek.. the scary bit!!

I'm a 33yr old bloke. I'm currently living in Wolverhampton,UK. I was Born in a town called Burnley(up north).

I'm an electrical engineer by trade and currently work for myself.. doing contract work anywhere in the world. Mostly i end up writing plc software for machines these days.

I'm a pretty chilled kind of person... I love trees and hope to grow my own woodland one day.

How did i get here???

I started to feel, a few years ago(2003), that its all a complete waste of time!.. It made no sense, life just seamed so pointless.. when you think about what you are doing day in and day out..
you get up, goto work for 10-16hrs, come home and switch on the pc/tv then goto sleep... then do the same thing every day.

All that you are consumed with is making money and trampling on anyone that gets in your way!

Luckily about 2.5 years ago i took redundancy and set myself up as a contractor this enabled me to slow down and think.

This is when my interest in trees started. I was doing a job over in Shrewsbury and while traveling along the motorway there are some really lovely countryside around there... i just kept thinking wouldn't it be wonderful just to sell up and move into that woodland and live a simple life with no hassle or stress(well the wife said "no").

Well that thought changed my life.. Ive spent nearly two years now studying trees. That thought has become the thing that has kept me pretty sane. That all changed again about a week ago now....

I was bored as usual... sat in front of the PC watching some videos on youtube. I quite like the Louis Theroux documentaries, anyhow i came across one that i have never seen before which is about "Enlightenment".. so i started watching it.. and thought "wow... these people have the kind of happiness and contentment in there lives that i have been looking for years"... Thats how i ended up here.. looking for questions and answers.

I do believe that my life is at a huge cross roads... I only hope i have a good sense of direction :)

Hare Krishna!

I wanted to add you as my friend, but was unable to find the place on your profile where the option is given to send you a buddy request. Since I cannot send you a request, would you please send me one instead? Thank you.

PAMHO,

ALL GLORIES TO SRIL PRABHUPADA.
Harekrishna prabhu/mataji,Maharaj,
SAVE A COW SAVE THE WORLD,This is The name of our project .The aim is to find a solution to stop cow slaughter.Most of the people keep cows for an economic benefit.when the milk yeild stops ,they find difficult to maintain them ,so they are forced to sell it to the market ,from where it goes to the slaughter houses .We aim at putting our effort in a way,that cows do not come to the market .That is to prevent cows from comming to the market .This is not an easy job .We want a lot of man power and money power for this.By the mercy of Guru and krishna we have deviced this project SAVE A COW SAVE THE WORLD with an excellant plan .

First we make 300 feeding members ,then we select 100 beneficiary members from the village ,then train the beneficiary members ,then we give them cows on terms and conditions.We get man power from the beneficiary members .The advantage for them is that they can exchange the cow when it stops yielding milk with a milch cow every time .so they dont have the burden to look after the non milch cow .The non milch cow is returned to the organisation..when this system is implemented in a ward in a village , then we are sure that no cows from this area will go to the market .So the first 2 years we go on increasing the feeding members who will pay an amount monthly to feed the cows ,then we are able to make more beneficiaries. So the cow population increases and we are able to do the same in the next ward aslo.so it starts multplying.Since the beneficiary members are in touch with us daily ,we are able to bring them to krishna consciousness . And finally the result of implementing the project SAVE A COW SAVE THE WORLD is that we form a model village called PRABHUPAD NAGER. PRABHUPAD NAGER will have , a Krishna temple , a Go-sala, a Health centre,a Dairy farm ,Gurukulam,Ashram, Supermarket ,Veterinary hospital,Gobar gas plant,Ox-power generator,100 apartments of 800sqftand 100 of 400sqft.So when all the devotees pray for this , we will be able to build up one PRABHUPAD NAGER IN EACH VILLAGE and thus the whole WORLD IS SAVED .So,. if some one enrolls as a feeding member in this project ,HE IS ACTUALLY A MEMBER WHO SAVES A COW AND THERE BY HE SAVES THE WORLD ALSO .
IF YOU LIKE THIS PROJECT PLEASE CO OPERATE WITH ME TO IMPLEMENT THIS PROJECT AT THE EARLIEST .my mail is vibhooshan@rediffmail.com and our web addresss is www.geocities.com/gorakshyamtrust
THE FIRST THING WHAT I WANT IS BLESSINGS FROM ALL DEVOTEES AND WOULD BE DEVOTEES IN THE FUTURE.
In the service of Krishna,

Hare Krishna, Dear Woza,
Thank you for accepting my friends request. :)
I love what you're saying about the study of trees and how it's kept you sane. (well you said pretty sane, but still... :)
When I was about 10 years old, I thought I was going to go insane myself.... and I was living in an area of lots of woods and spent a lot of time communing with the trees.
I one day decided to dedicate my life to studying trees as a way to achieve some sanity. I decided that I would learn of every single tree there was, all about each one... this would be my life's mission. :) : ): )
Soon after, 3 years to be exact, I found Krishna.
Must be some kind of magical connection between studying trees and finding Krishna, eh??? lol :)
About your sense of direction:
It seems excellent to me, since it's lead your right here!
Love,
Navasi
