I'm a 24 year old Hare Krishna monk who moved into the temple immediately after high school. The Hare Krishnas are a people dedicated to spreading the culture of self-realization all over the world...no joke. If I come off as preachy please pardon me. Things I used to like to do: smoke pot. Things I do now: chant Hare Krishna and engage in a variety of meditative devotional activites (24 hours daily). I'm a strict vegetarian (not vegan). I like movies (don't tell the temple president). I am thoughtful, gentle, and sometimes odd, but always well intentioned. In my journey I've come accross sublime spiritual wisdom far beyond the greatest stretch of my imagination. Reality is greater than fiction...don't doubt it for a moment. We must realize that consciousness is above matter and is eternal. Then life really begins.
