About me

My path is a strange one and too long a story to write on this website. In my childhood I worshiped and loved God and prayed to Him sincerely although I didn't call him Śrī Kṛṣṇa yet. Then because of the power of Maya during my puberty I lost my faith in God because I was disappointed in the people who were supposed to be His representatives on Earth (priests and nuns). So I spent some of my years as an agnostic, untill at the age of 16 I began to meditate. I followed the path of Buddhism for a few years. After I began meditating daily and after all of my main chakras opened up, He revealed Himself to me, so I left the path of Buddhism and began researching Hinduism. There is much more to the story, but the conclusion is the only part that matters - I have found Him at last, our Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa.

Abandon all varieties of religion and just surrender unto Me. I shall deliver you from all sinful reaction. Do not fear.

- Bhagavad-Gītā, Chapter 18, Verse 66

Hare Kishna!
What you write is so true. Everything belongs to Krishna.
Thank you for your nice letter.

I saw what I wrote about more freedom...
I guess certain restrictions that limited how I could act on my choices are no longer in place. We always make our own choices within the restrictions that are presented to us, and within the restrictions that we allow and accept for ourselves.
I guess the difference in my life between those early years and now is that now I am allowed to act on my choices of diet, and lifestyle, individual association, choice of reading material, and the path I choose to pursue.
I guess this is an example of illusion. None of us really has freedom, except the freedom of choice, which we have all along.
As I understand, the restrictions are removed, based on our choices. All under the ultimate arrangement of Krishna.
Hare Krsna!

Hare Krsna!
Your "about me" is very interesting.

I also was disappointed in the ways I saw people around me acting towards religion. In my early teens, I was required to go to church, but I would spend the time pretending illness and hiding in the restroom!
I began looking into other religions, even though members of my family accused me of 'being with the devil' for doing so. Things were done to me because of my interest in searching. I was shunned, no longer wanted in my home, and was sent to live with nuns.
What happened was that my life took a wonderful turn, to one that had more freedom! I understand now that every bit of it was ultimately Krishna's arrangement. And it led to my life now, trying to understand my position as a servant of Krishna, and trying to learn how to serve Krishna and Krishna's devotees. Sometimes I just think that life could not be more heavenly!
