- Occupation:
- Semi end dump truckdriver, sugar & molasses hauler
- About Me:
- I'm a tangled mess of contradictions:
- I believe sri harinam seva under Gurudeva's divine shelter is topmost- yet am such a vishayee its extremely hard to chant regularly(some days lots of harinam; some days very little)
-love to hear and read harikatha -yet the tv remote has to be pryed from my unwilling hands past my bedtime
-big advocate of loving affectionate dealings especially amongst our sanga - yet I just love to see MMA fighters beat the holy crap out of each other
-I adore Gurudeva's illumination of the maidservants of Srimati Radhika's left-wing moods -yet I'm a staunch politically right-wing conservative
- I like to eat a healthy diet and exercise daily -yet I'm prone to overeat (emotionally) especially evenings and take rest too late
-I'm NOT a conspiracy theorist -except when it comes to conspiracies against natural remedies, herbal medicines, ayurvedic remedies, and folk remedies which the AMA & "Big Pharmaceutical" find threaten their profits
-prefer natural foods and remedies (if man made it; don't take it)
-I'm into: Shilajit, MSM, Maca, Yerba Mate, Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth, Goji berries, Oil Pulling, Wheat grass, organic milk from happy devotee cows, urine therapy, sun gazing, hindu squats, hindu pushups, bridging with nose and forehead to mat, shoulder stand, japa walking, green herb grazing and much, much more!
-STRONGLY against the idea that drugs ie. marijuana, cocaine, opiates, amphetemines, "ecstasy" , LSD, botanical psychedelics etc. etc. etc. and alcohol etc. can ENHANCE our Krishna consciousness never, never & NEVER - been there; done that. Tried 'em all. Intoxication is a formidable trap of maya's domain.
-I believe the main problem causing strife in this world is a predominance of purusha-bhava or the ego that "I am an enjoyer". The solution: cultivation of a foundation of dasya-bhava "I am a servant of the Lord." There's enough service for everyone- no scarcity. There's only one Enjoyer- Rasaraja Sri Krishna (especially when He is submissive to Sri Radha!)

I'm on the whale watching boat with Srila Gurudeva! That's me behind (profile) I'll try to get a clearer photo soon.
Quote of the Day!:I hope to see many of you dear devotees of Srila Gurudeva at Badger Festival 2008! See you all soon!!!
"I am fully indebted to Sri Gurudeva, because he is giving me so many things. He is giving me the holy name containing the highest form of thought, aspiration, and ideal, and he is giving me the service of that great savior, the son of Mother Saci, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, who is like a golden mountain indicating the way to krsna-lila. And Sri Gurudeva has brought me to Svarupa Damodara, who is Lalita-devi, Srimati Radhika's closest friend. Then he has brought me to Sri Rupa, who was ordered to distribute rasa-tattva, and then to Sri Sanatana Gosvami, who adjusts our position in relation to raganuga-bhakti. Gurudeva has brought me to Mathura Mandala, where Radha and Govinda have their pastimes, where the forests, hills, and every creeper, shrub and grain of sand are uddipana (stimuli) to help me remember Radha and Govinda. He has given me Radha-kunda, and Giriraja Govardhana, and aho! he has given me assurance of all these, so I bow my head with deep respect unto his lotus feet." (Sri Mukta-carita, Raghunatha dasa Gosvami translation by Srila B.R. Sridhara Maharaja)

Its Time to Boil the Milk!
I remember in 1972 or 1973 Srila Prabhupada told us, "Now we have enough centers and devotees and its time to 'boil the milk'. As milk is boiled down it gets thicker and sweeter. In the same way, Srila Prabhupada let us know that we needed to concentrate on our spiritual lives; become more serious about the angas of bhakti. Since that time I entered married life, had 4 children and 34 years later, for me ...its time to boil the milk. My diksha-guru, Srila Prabhupada laid the foundation of Krishn… Continue

Secret, Rasik-katha and Amorus pastimes are in Gurudeva's heart!
I am feeling a joyus confidence in our Srila Gurudeva, Srila Prabhupada and indeed our entire Rupanuga sampradaya! When I read some of Gita Govinda, I felt nervous by that katha. I know I'm not eligable to read such katha without my mind being agitated due to my own material contamination. At the same time, I could understand that Gurudeva is swimming in that vast ocean of madhurya-prema-rasa! I also sensed that the intensity of amorous love expressed in Gita Govinda was not to be found in the m… Continue

What is sanga
In my past, especially after Srila Prabhupada left my vision and before I met my beloved Shiksha-Guru, Srila Gurudeva I have done many nonsense and rascal things. All the while I was in the association of other devotees who were being nonsense rascals like me. Can I call that devotee association? I think not.
Nowadays especially at our weekly home programs, I try my level best to represent Gurudeva and Prabhupada and force myself to conduct myself in a way to honor our Guru-varga. I try not to t… Continue

It was great to see you at the festival; missing your association already. Can you send me your personal email. It would be nice to keep in touch with you.
Jai Gurudeva
Wasn't the festival amazing? I'm going to be missing it so much! Mostly Gurudev and the devotee's.
