About me

I'm Adelaide. I'm a new follower to Krishna, aged nineteen. I'm a student at Warren Wilson college (soon to be Lubbock Christian University), studying psychology. I'll go into neuropsychology - specializing in clinical neuropsych - afterwards, although if I could have a family and simply travel around the world meeting interesting people, I'd much prefer that.

I'm currently dating a wonderful man and have done so for the past year and a half. Although not a follower of Krishna, he is a follower of Christ, which is the same in my book. He's open to the Hare Krishna faith, however. :]

As for what I do with my life, I'm a musician and fire-spinner. I've been gifted with talents in singing and piano, and am currently learning how to play the guitar and sitar. I spin fire fans and double-staff (also known as batons), and am very much into all forms of art. Chanting & singing mantras is one of my favourite pastimes, and I'm excited to learn more about Krishna.

Comments from Adelaide Matthews’s friends

Hi! My name's Adelaide. I'm nineteen years old (nearly twenty), and am currently a sophomore at Warren Wilson College in Asheville, North Carolina. I'm soon to transfer back to my hometown of Lubbock, Texas, however, to have better educational access to neuropsychology.

I discovered Krishna only recently, about two months ago, and have since read bits and pieces of the Bhagavad-Gita. I'm absolutely enamored. As a Christian, I've always searched for the Truth in the world, and I continuously found that many of my fellow Christians didn't seem to understand that what the world needs most is love, complete and unadulterated. I believe that following Krishna - Christ - is the way, and learning about him brings me great joy.

Although Dallas is only a few hours from me, obviously I cannot make a weekly trip up to worship, but my devotions here at my college have been solitary as well. I've found peace in chanting maha-mantra and meditation, and look forward to furthering my knowledge in this new-found faith.

Piano, I sure you could pick up harmonium very easily

Hare Krishna from Dallas Adelaide nice to meet you.

" 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

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!! Welcome
