Just starting out on this journey
I'm just starting on this journey, trying to find out where I fit. I came from a background where I valued my intelligence and rationalism, but I found that created a certain sense of emptiness in life. Being handicapped has also caused me to question "why", and the ideological conflicts between the many faiths of the world has alwas been disconcerting to me.
Seeing the happiness and openness exhibited by those immersed in Krsna Consciousness is inspiring. I like that it isn't exclusionary and isn't overrun with an "us against them" mentality, and that it gives me an opportunity to explore Indian culture without being considered an outsider.
I like to consider myself a person that loves humanity and its diversity, and I believe that the spiritual path is part of what makes us human. And although I do not live near an ISKCON temple, I look forward to exploring my own personal path via this website.
