About Me:

I try to keep a balance of devotional practice, snorkelling and nature exploring, having healthy loving relationships with family and friends, holistic health and personal growth, and keeping the world stuff together. In that balance I am endeavoring to increase devotion.
Back in the 80's I started and co-ran The Hare Krishna Food For Life program in Philadelphia with shelters for 145 homeless. The Mayor came to all of our grand openings and there was a lot of positive media attention, like the Inquirer headline 'Krishnas Offer Home and Hope'. Then I was the media coordinator for the Robin George appeal so helped save the devotees $15 million. Rupa Manohara and I also organized Ratha Yatras such as the Mummer's Parade in Philly and the Boardwalk in Atlantic City. We were very happy to get a banner headline in the Philadelphia Inquirer 'Krishnas Captivate the Crowd'!
