Krishna's Promises

As children of God, there are certain things we are entitled to. Things that no man, or even demigod, for that matter, can ever take away from us. As children and devotees of Krishna, He makes promises to us. He makes offers that we can't refuse. We are special to the Lord, and God lives in us, whether we are devotees or not.

Aindra Dasa has gone back to Godhead + Quotes on death

I never really knew Aindra Prabhu. Never heard much about him, never met him, never read about him. Today, when I logged on to Facebook, I saw everyone's statuses talking about a great soul's disappearance.

Pets in Dubai

Hey, all

This is a very urgent matter. If you are looking to buy pets, please please consider adopting abandoned ones. There are far too many of them around. You can give a dying animal a new life. Take it in. Give it a home. There are so many who are going to be put to sleep if not homed soon. There is a Facebook group called 'Friends of Animals'. Please have a look if you are willing to find a home for pets.

If you are buying a pet, please think long-term. Don't buy them now if you're not sure whether you can provide a permanent home for them. Please don't abandon them. I understand situations come up and there are circumstances. But maybe you could perhaps find a home for them then? Please don't give just leave them stranded. Domestic pets wouldn't be able to survive on their own, after being taken care of in a home. They wouldn't be able to find their way around or fend for themselves. Maybe get them shipped with you, or to someone who can take them in. They've got a life too. Don't put their lives at risk. If no one takes them in, they're just put to sleep.

Thanks, everyone!

TONNES of mercy!

Oh, today today today...

Sigh...

Today was just wonderful. So much mercy! SO MUCH!

I was waiting for my friend to call me since she was going to take me with her to today's Hare Krishna Youth Class from the metro station. I would walk, but the weather is just awful now. 44 degrees and soaring! Not cool, man!

Ratha Yatra 2010 in Dubai

Hare Krishna, everyone!

I attended the ISKCON Ratha Yatra festival in Dubai today. It was taking place in the Sindhi Ceremonial Hall in Bur Dubai. Before this, my grandmother and I went to the Bur Dubai Sinaji mandir. Even there they had made a special chariot for Ratha Yatra. The pujari or head priest was pulling the chariot forwards and backwards throughout the aarti ceremony.

Sadhu sanga: Hanging out with Hare Krishna devotees!

Today, I went to this place my friends go to every week for a discourse or lecture on Krishna Conscious topics. Everyone's been trying to get me to go there for ages. So I went today, and, BELIEVE ME, it was incredible. I don't care if people call me stupid or too religious, and say that I'm wasting my time, wasting my life, running after things that haven't been "proven"... I really couldn't care less. The feeling Krishna gave me today is more than enough to banish every negative atom around. Seriously.

Sleepless Night + 26 Qualities of a Devotee

It's past 3 am and I just cannot sleep! I'm sick... AGAIN. Excess mucous, sore throat, stuffed nose, blocked ear... GRRRRRR! Well I'm feeling better now, though. I swear, I don't know, call me crazy but before I chanted my round today, I prayed that Krishna would heal me. And oh my gosh, I started feeling better while chanting. Like I was finding it a lot easier to breathe. Cool beans, huh? :)
