About Me:
I am looking for association as I live in Baton Rouge and would like to build up to courage to go on parikrama and take diksha from His Holiness. I converted from Islam to being a devotee of Krishna 10 years ago and I have never looked back. Having been on Hajj and to Vrindavan I can honestly say that I am home. Many people give up so much to be a devotee; family, spouse, income. I pray that everyone assist newcomers as much as possible as their road may be a road less travelled to surrender.

Just Chant Hare Krishna.

Hare Krishna,


For the past 3 weeks I have been unemployed. My job ended because the company went bankrupt. When I found out I was actually happy because I thought that finally I would have the time I want to devote to devotional life. I have always yearned for that feeling when I was a bhaktin to return. About 1 week before my last day at work I read a lecture by His Holiness, I don't remember what the whole thing said but one thing in my

Devotee sufferings

Hare Krishna,



I know that this may be a public forum, but I feel compelled to write about a subject that I know few if any have thought about. Depression among devotees. Yes I know that devotees should be blissful but for devotees like me who do suffer from depression it can be a source of shame.


Many devotees glorify devotees that are physically ill and leave their bodies, but the hidden suffering that comes with depression is such a boon. Use this illness as a mercy, one t

Rejected then accepted!

Hare Krishna,


Many people, myself included, have been rejected from other Vaisnava groups for one reason or another. Me because I was Muslim and African. Wasn't Haridasa Thakur(Muslim that is)? Isn't he the Namacharya? It still hurts, but Srila Gurudeva is so kind to not look at my birth or skin and accept me. I feel such a recharge of my devotional life now, it has given me new life.


Your servant,

Dandavads and pranams,
I was a Muslim before I joined the Hare Krishnas in Durban South Africa. Fortunately here the devotees were not so much on the bodily concept of life. I realized one very important thing in my K.C. The more hardships I undergo the more mercy the lord gives me. And I am very hungry for mercy. Queen Kunti also realized this therefore she constantly prayed to the Lord to give her more and more suffering. You are very lucky that you don't have to pray for suffering, the Lord is just giving, Materially it may appear to be suffering but spiritually it is a blessing. You are lucky, don't try and run away from it.
Gour Premanande.
Your servant,
R.K. Dasa.

Dandavads,
If a vaishnava group rejects you because you were a muslim then you must be lucky because they are not vaishnavas.Associate with vaishnavas who are not in the bodily concept of life - advanced devotees.
