In 1965 i ended up on my own, i was 15 Years old, i became an absolute Hippy. Fortunately i met with both the Jesus People of Southren California & also the Devotees Srila Prabhupada in 1969. i was instanly attracted to both messages. i did not get to meet Srila Prabhupada, yet i have no regrets regarding this.
After being attracted to the Jesus People & to the Devotees and being deeply moved by their dedication and service to God, i began to read the Bible & the Bhagavad-gita. i was impressed so much that i bagan to study the Srimad Bhagavad-gita ~as It is~ & the Bible much more and i became a Vegetarian. Since i was in Bible School at the time, i decided to complete my Christian education and become an ordained and licensed Minister/Pastor.
i lived in an ISKCON Temple for one Year 1986-87, the Temple was in Fullerton, California, it (The Temple) was afffiliated with the Laguna Temple...The Fullerton Temple is not there anymore.
i owe everything to GOD, for the continuous deliverance of my life from Sin & it's re-actions.
Service is my life, albeit i'm not good at it much of the time, yet i strive to serve in Devotional Service The Lord.
i was a lost person finding my way back to home, who finds solace at the Lotus feet of Christ/GOD and His devotees.
i'm a full time seeker/servant/learner wanting to become a Pure Devotee/Disciple.
i am a Servant of a Servant of a Servant of a.......!
By The LOVE, GRACE and MERCY of GOD!
