*** PLEASE EXCUSE ME IF I DO NOT RESPOND TO ANY MESSAGES. THEY HAVE BEEN SHOWING UP IN MY "JUNK" BOX IN MY EMAIL AND I HAVE MISSED A FEW I THINK!***
I am living for the love for KRISHNA! I love music, art, teaching..and so on! I want to travel to India and so many other places in thee world to visit temples and continue my service to Krishna...in any way that I can. Large or small...I know why I am here...There have been so many things in my path that at times I have felt like GIVING UP...but then I always remember KRISHNA and I am brought back to the road that I need to follow.
I started educating myself about Krishna in 1993... at the time I was straight edge (no drinking, smoking, drugs, and sex) so that was one aspect that I had no trouble following.At the same time I was becoming more interested in animal rights and being vegetarian...another aspect that attracted me... a large part of being straight edge was the HARDCORE MUSIC. I was introduced to several hardcore bands that followed the path of knowledge that would in time lead them to Krishna. Over the years the bands have dissappeared but they have always remained in my heart and ears. I will ALWAYS give my respect for the music that they opened me up to...AND THE IDEAS. I feel it was Krishna's way to bring me out of the world that I was used to and bring me closer to him. I know that Krishna has brought me this far in life for a reason and as time goes by I am starting to understand that reason more and more...
I have never had that much of a chance to be with devotees, or discuss ideas with them but now I am doing all that I can to show my love and devotion. I love to learn...and I am learning more and more. When I first started, there was no KRISHNA.COM and the information was very limited. I never had that much money, so I bought the books that I could afford and read them...many of them I still need a lot of help with understanding...and I know in time I will get that understanding.
I am very happy to serve Krishna. The love and compassion that he has give to me...TO US ALL must be given back in return...and will be.
HARI BOL!
I to have been lost and distracted before on this quest for knowledge from the absolute...but now I have see the path that needs to be taken..
"Reshape yourself through the power of your will...Those who have conquered themselves...live in peace, alike in cold and heat, pleasure and pain, praise and blame...To such people a clod of dirt, a stone, and gold are the same..."
