Hare Krsna su santidad, acepte mis reverencias por favor.
Me presento, soy Gopinath, mis padres son devotos, Maha Madavi DD y Rama Priya Das. naci en Ecuador. Tengo 31.
I was away from Krsna consciousness for practically all my life (since I was 12yo), mainly because I wanted to have a normal life, also because I did not wanted to believe in god, which is absurd because I cant avoid to pray at night.
I was not able to understand the real implications of been Krsna conscious, I read the books but they did not make any sense. So I stayed away.
Then a couple of years ago, after spending lots of time trying to find happiness with a material perspective (finishing my under graduate and graduate studies, buying a car, getting a place to live, having a girlfriend and all that) I get bored, and realize that I needed something more. I always remember my sister kunti saying: "dont be afraid of being a deep person". And then I started to embrace my spirituality, first, I went to a vipassana course of ten days, and it was so awesome, its like I was born for meditating.
HpS - AgtSP one of my best friends from University became big Vipassana Dude!
It happened that last year in august, I took my japa for the first time in decades, I had always keep it near me, but never touched it, it was my japa from when I was a kid. And I started to chant a little. And it felt great!!!! Then I decide to go to the temple in santiago, to the morning program. Hahahah of course it was hard because its too early so I never get up in time and in consequence I never went. But one day, I said like man, if you dont do it now, you are never going to do it.
So I woke up at 4, take a quick bath, get into the car and to the temple. I was really nervous, but the devotee that was there, Sebastian, welcomed me with a lot of enthusiasm and give me a garland, it was so nice, like every little thing, from the sounds of the bell to the majestic altar remind me of my childhood.
I went ther to leave at 10am, but ended up leaving at 10pm!!!!!
HpS - ASA --- My, God!
Helping in the temple, talking about cosmology. It was great.
Well, I have a lot of things to say, I went to India also, but I dont want to take a lot of your time.
Just want to say hello, and pay obeisances onto your lotus feet.
Thank you, Im at your service,
Gopinath.
HpS - Jaya!!!! Hare Krsna. Do you read the KRSNA book (with others)?
