I love Krsna, and I am developing a personal relationship with him. Lord Kṛṣṇa is my sole maintainer, my inspiration, my true love, and my best friend. I am surrendered at His lotus feet, and I pray to Him daily to get closer to Him by serving Him, no what austerities I must undergo in this life or the next.
By Srimati Radharani's blessing and the Lord Sri Krsna's causeless mercy, my family and I are now living less than 1 mile from the New Goloka Temple in Hillsborough, North Carolina. We are integrating into the community nicely, and are fortunate to have daily association with devotees. We have established a large organic garden full of produce and flowers that the Temple uses for Their Lordships and the Vaisnava community. Please look at the cam for the temple sometime and see all the flowers from the garden adorning the altar and most merciful Sri Sri Radha-Golokananda!

HH Bir Krishna Goswami, who resides there and built it from the wilderness many years ago, has encouraged us to grow lots of flowers and food for the temple and to shower Sri Sri Radha-Golokananda with all the best bhoga the land has to offer. We are hoping that by the Lord's grace, we can also grow enough to sell and make a living doing a very sattvic thing.
As it turns out, the Lord and Srila Prabhupada have also arranged for me (after years of praying) to have the perfect spiritual master in HH Bir Krishna das Goswami. I feel as if I have found my spiritual father and I am developing much affection for him. My only goal now is please him and serve him.
We all couldn't be happier, and since all my prayers are being answered, I am the happiest of all!
Cow protection is very dear to me. I am very concerned with the plight of the cows in Kali-yuga. As the cow is very auspicious and much loved by Lord Kṛṣṇa, I feel very strongly about this calling in my life, and intend to take it wherever the Lord's desire leads me. GO-MATA KI JAI!

Oh, the Rising Sun"

"Abandoning their calves, the young cows joyfully worship Kṛṣṇa with their abundant nectarean milk. With great love Kṛṣṇa always protects them. In this way Lord Kṛṣṇa, who always protects everyone, became eternally famous as Gopal, protector of the cows."

"One is immediately freed from the clutches of maya if he seriously and sincerely says, "My dear Lord Kṛṣṇa, although I have forgotten you for so many long years in the material world, today I am surrendering unto you. I am your sincere and serious servant. Please engage me in your service."
~Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu~
"My dear Lord, now I have complete experience concerning the worldly opulence, mystic power, longevity, and other material pleasures enjoyed by all living entities, from Lord Brahma down to the ant. As powerful time, You destroy them all. Therefore, because of my experience, I do not wish to possess them. My dear Lord, I request You to place me in touch with Your pure devotee and let me serve him as a sincere servant."
~Sri Prahlada Maharaja~
"O my Lord, as powerful as fire, O omnipotent one, I offer You all obeisances, falling on the ground at Your feet. O my Lord, please lead me on the right path to reach You, and since You know all that I have done in the past, please free me from the reactions to my past sins so that there will be no hindrance to my progress."
~Sri Isopanisad~
