Besides,I really do love (Om Gan Ganpatye Siddhivinayak track) which glorifies my Spiritual Master .

I am pretty sure the list will continue to increase over a period of time ......

Ma.........

I have a very very special relationship with my ma(mother).To be honest ,I never kinda realized it coz like other's I took this relationship as granted.But,lately I have started realizing this beautiful beautiful relationship...I would say that since I have come to manchester,she is the one whom I miss the most...I dont know but for the past few weeks...can feel some negative vibrations....newaz but well things will happen as they are destined...

Hmm but most important thing...Ma has started chanting Hare Krishna Mantra-2 rounds..thats really sweet of her!I hope that one day my whole family will start chanting...Association is very very important when it comes to devotion.Its very easy to get carried away with material energy "maya".I can feel this today(31st may), when actually I am looking for opportunities in belgium,jobs,careers etc....all I am thinking is about gains,wealth,fame etc...but because of Krishna conciousness and with the mercy of spiritual master,Lord Ganesha atleast I am aware of what I am doing and hence I keep on checking myself!

I beg mercy from Ganesha Maharaj and Lord Krishna to keep this fallen soul in association of devotees and in their service.


Om Gan Ganpatye Namah!!

Manchester....

I will always remember Manchester as a place where my spiritual path begun.It's pretty strange coz I am here to do my Masters and ofcourse I never even thought about it but honestly more than my masters I have learned,concentrated and tried to imbibe Gita by heart!

Master's degree can only help me to be well off but cant help me to solve the real problems of life!But Gita will..infact I can already see some changes(though a long long way to go,as still to overcome material desires) .I am sure that some people might think that I am "fatalistic" ,when I say this (rather scriptures says) that your material life is absolutely pre-destined i.e you react to conditions,then conditions react on you and then again u react....this goes on and on...the only way to come out is by spiritual advancement i.e surrendering unto lotus feet of krishna under the guidance of Spiritual Master.Spiritual Master is indeed very important...this was aptly shown by Lord Rama(Guru Vashisth),Lord Krishna(Sandeepni Muni) who had authorzied spiritual masters.

Anyways,I was actually introduced to ISKCON in manchester ,met some amazing humble devotees (deenbandhu prabhu,candidas,prem niketan prabhu ....).ISKCON for me is a platform where I can get blissful associaton of devotees with whom i can talk,eat,chant ,hear ,praise,worship the lotus feet of Krishna!

Most amazing fact-This is all happening to me in Manchester(not in India ...in all these years)

and in a place(Manchester) where people are crazy about beer,football,drugs..etc etc...


But well you can never ever know Krishna's plan!!..haha can you?

Ofcourse,all glories to my spiritual master-Lord Ganesha who is bestowing his mercy on the most fallen soul!

Om Gan Ganpatye Namah!!

Sorry Krishna ......

Today,I did something which has definately hurt Krishna and dishonoured my Spiritual masters feelings.I do not what should I do?

Definately ,I am the most foolish guy who inspite of tasting the nectar of Krishna Consciousness fell to material energy"maya".At the same time,today I felt the immense power of Krishna Consciousness.

I dont even know how should I beg pardon from my spiritual master(Lord Ganesha) and all merciful Lord Krishna ...!!

As a shameless guy ,I seek pardon and mercy from Ganesh Maharaj and Krishna who are most merciful and sweet.

At the same time ,I pledge that I wont ever hurt my Spiritual Master and Krishna again!

Fracture.......Ramayana

Last 2-3 days have been really amazing.....firstly coz lately I have been watching ramayan and the more I watch it....the more I m fascinated with the pastimes of Lord Rama.Remember back in late 80's when I was 6-7 years old,Ramayana intrigued me coz of the special effects...like..ram-ravan fighting,demons..etc etc (though must say now I realize...Ramanand sagar produced some hilarious"special" effects)......But now watching after 15-16 years..can really understand Ramayan...Lord Rama's character was a perfect embodiment of Dharma,humility,forgiveness, ....etc etc infinite(no words)....but most touching was Lord Ram facing all difficulties...lord of the world...walked barefoot during his exile,eating left overs (shabri mata)......specially ram-hanuman episode ,bharat-ram and ram-shabri episode had me in tears...the feelings expressed were just amazing......(must say ramanand sagar "ramayan"was very well researched)...Really its just so enthralling to hear,see and think about Lord's pastimes!...As I am writing this,listening to online ramchartimanas..(dishant.com).....


On Tuesday-9th May, while playing cricket I happen to slip on pebbles/stones and my whole body weight was on wrist.....i knew it was fracture.....newaz...it was some pain...excruciating pain...i was numb!..i just could'nt stand up for 2 mins....after i stood up...i dont know for the first time in my life I had very unusual feeling..it was like I was in deep slumber...I was talking to muhammed and tarun and well I felt...unconsciouss,.....i got up after 2 mins...saying..I was alrite..and lets continue...but well just after few secs..this time...i was about to fall flat on ground...thnx to krishna(he guided muhammed who was able to hold me bfore I got down)...there i laid...unconsciouss...mumhammed and tarun..were now scared..meanwhile...i had no idea...what was happening..only Krishna's name was on my lips!.....after 2-3 mins...I felt the weight of my body....I kept on chanting Krishna's name...and to my amazement...I was getting my strength back...after5 mins...I was able to stand up and walk on my own!....I cud'nt believe...Krishna's ....saved me ...!!...He is just sooo merciful...I cud'nt believe this....my pain was subdued to a great extent...later when i reached my room..I paid my obesiances to merciful Lord...soon after same kinda experience...thought was going to faint again..but miracle..I was able to hold myself...(inspite of the intense stroke).....that nite i slept peacefully..got up in the morning...(felt bit pain in hand).....and went to c d doctor....who confirmed its a fracture....my friends and subash prabhu were amazed that how cud u sleep in nite peacefully and how come you were roaming in the morning as if nothing had happened!..I knew..it was Krishna's mercy....he is just soooooooooooooo sweet...(as it turned out its a minor fracture,he minimised the effect,gave me strength).....who wud not want to serve this beautiful,powerful,sweet lord.....

I pay me humble obesiances to my Spiritual Master Lord Ganesha who is guiding this ignorant soul in this miserable material world.....and giving an opportunity to serve Lord Krishna....

All credit goes to My spiritual Master....

Amazing Day

I will remember this day as one of the 1st full fledged Krishna Conscious day of my life!Today marked the first time when I joined Nagar Sankirtan !and din't I enjoy it!.....I was kinda nervous to start with as I saw hoards and hoards of westerners in front of me staring as if we were aliens from some other planet ....but well after the intial nervous and shy moments,the whole process turned out to be amazing!!I was doing Sankirtan in streets of Manchester!Phew...Unbelievable!...and well what to say about Gor Gopala Prabhu from Chowpatty temple....with amazing voice and enthusiasm ,even a neophyte like me got so enthralled!..and yeah all this while I was thinking about Chaitanya Mahaprabhu who started this process of Hari Nam Sankirtan...Dunno I felt that I have to contribute to the mission of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu!(in wotever insignificant way).....To hear the name of Krishna in itself purifies soul!...After sankirtan we went to deenbandhu's prabhu house where we had lunch and in the evening went to Ramila Mataji's house where the amazing kirtan,discourse by Gor Gopala Prabhu and prasadam made the day !!

I dunno have this feeling that I will have a long association with Gor Gopala Prabhu....really wish to see him ..next time while m in mumbai!..

Om Gan Ganpatye Namah!....

Thanks to my spiritual master and Krishna himself who gave this golden opportunity to an "ignorant soul" like me.....to ...relish and taste the sweetest nectar of Krishna consciousness with exalted devotees!

Hare Krishna

Internship..Marriage....

Past 2-3 days have been pretty stressful...coz of the Internship Interviews and "marriage pressure"...but must say Krishna Conciousness has given me immense confidence,strength to face these "temporary phases" which are like summer and winter seasons....Remember for my 1st interview(wid UNIDO) I became nervous..(just bfore Interview) but well then immediately "
I" said to my self .."hey everything (material success and failure)is destined and well Krishna will take care,so go wid chill out attitude"....this really helped me out during the Interiew.Today,Tiss Interview went pretty well ...all glories to "Krishna"!!

Now marriage...well I m not really ready for it(Actually I dont want to marry but I did promise mom before leaving for Manchester that I will get married ...after completing Masters)...so..wont break my promise !....I was really worried about the girl who will become my "wife"(that sounds scary to me)...coz after knowing the reality of life(Thru KC,GITA,RAMAYANA)...my perspective about life has changed..completely..I was scared that because of certain Issues the girl will be in trouble.But after thinking about it again and again(and of course talking to anshu and taking into consideration ma-papa intense desire to get me married)....I said to my self.."why I am trying to Lord over all these things"...after all time and destiny is in noone's hand!and krishna takes care of everything....So,let me surrender unto Krishna...and take whatever comes...(And well have a strong feeling that Krishna's wants me to get married...coz thats why I promised my mom a year back...so...well...

Whatever happens in my marriage life...I pray to my spiritual master and Lord Krishna himself...Pls Pls alwayz shower your mercy on this fallen soul and engage me in Devotional service with even more intensity ,fervour and sincerity!!.....

I want Krishna...only Krishna..coz I have tasted the nectar...nectar which is beyond any sweetness....I really cant put these into my words!....and considering little " bhakti" gives u such an amazing nectar ,then what it will be like when one is fully absorbed in Krishna,,,,when one is with Krishna in Goloka Vrindavana....

The thought itself is beyond words.....
