About me

Not much to say really, im from New Zealand but i live in England as i came here to study music which ironically im now dying to be done with. Id been searching for a spritual avenue that 'felt right' and 'ticked all the boxes' (metaphysicaly speaking) and it wasnt untill i came to the Radha-Krishna Temple in Soho London that i found home, and since then thats been pretty much it. I wasnt expecting to be so drawn to something that i would get frustraighted if i couldnt go to the temple and what not, as id come from a very speculative background. But here i am 2 and 1/2 months out from becoming a brahmacarya and feeling really unworthy of all the mercy thats been thrown at me in a very short space of time. Please im still very Neophyte but is there is anything i can do to serve you dont hesitate to ask.

Radhe Radhe,
Welcome to the world of Krishna.com. Here with the association of devotees, May you get the love of RadheKrishna. Attaching a message below:

Radha-Krishna

Anadyoyam Purusha eka evasthi, Tadekam rupam Dvidha vidhaya
Sarvan Rasan Samaharathi, Svayameva nayikarupam Vidhaya
Samaradhana tatparobhooth
Tham Radham Rasikanandam Veda vido Vadanthi

The Samaveda rahasya states that the Parama purusha (the foremost Divine) with a view to manifest all his latent estatic features (the Rasa) in His transcendental Divine play, himself, became Goddess Sarveswari Radha. To immerse in the worship of his own beautiful form, he also assumed the form of God. He is Srikrishna.

Padmapuranam :

Yo mameva prapannascha mathpriyam na maheswara na kadpai sachapnothi Mamevam The Mayoditham

Sri Krishna says "If one surrenders to me without having surrendered to Radhaji , one cannot attain my 'darshan' (Darshan means Spiritual experience of seeing, feeling or hearing specific aspects of a deity)"

Sakrudavam Prapanno va Mathpriyamekikam Sutha
Sevathenanyabhavene Sa mamethi na Samsayaha.

Sri Krishna says "Even if one does not surrender to me and worships and serves Sri Radhaji alone with singlemindedness, I will bless him with my 'darsan'. This is beyond any doubt."

Hare Krishna Prabhuji,

This is Deepti. Please accept my sincerest dandvat pranam unto your lotus feets!

Welcome to www.krishna.com

Thank you!

Gauranga - "May the greatest good and the highest joy be yours today and always!"

Hari Hari Hari Bol!!!

Yours Servent Of The Servent,
Deepti.

" harer nama harer nama harer namaiva kevalam
kalau nasty eva nasti eva nasti eva gatir anyatha"

A Sanskrit verse from Brhan-naradiya Purana which means:

"In this age of Kali, there is no alternative, there is no alternative, there is no alternative for spiritual progress other than the chanting of the holy name, the chanting of the holy name, the chanting of the holy name of the Lord
