[http://maddmonk.wordpress.com]
Haribol, being quick here.
I am studying in Radhadesh (Belgium) but otherwise live in New Govardhana (Australia).
I've been doing HH Indradyumna Swami's Tours. (Poland and Australia). I keep a travel diary on facebook and try keep life well interesting so it's worth writing about. I try to keep Krsna in the center.

What I'm Doing Now:
|
I skipped off the end of school about a yr too early, did work - worked my way in the world for a year for good pay, did Uni - chasing my dreams and forgetting money...and then...two weeks holiday with HH Indradyumna Swami travelling around Australia knocked that last bit of self ambition out of me.
I deffered Uni, travelled for almost 6 months: India, Rath in London, Polish Tour. I stayed in ashrama for 3 months. I toured Australia 2 months with the Troupe again. I visited India again. I went to Sydney and lived in a sankirtana ashrama for 2 months. I went back to Poland on a second trip. I went back to New Govardhana again, for 2 months. I did another tour in Australia for 3 months.
I took a month out to sort out a student visa for Europe. Did another 2 months in Sydney sankirtana. I settled in Radhadesh. I did a third tour in Poland and I start study in September.
I'm otherwise writing...http://maddmonk.wordpress.com

My Inspiration:
|
Bhakti Tirtha Swami would have to be my original, biggest insperation. Through him I was inspired to read Srila Prabhupada's books.
I get a lot of insperation from HH Indradyumna Swami and his tours. I get a lot of personal association with HH Makunda Goswami. I'm a general Swami milkin dude.
The rest I find in many different swamis, exemplirary devotees I meet, temples, holy places and all the good stuff. I get a lot of insperation from reading atleast one hour of Prabhupada's books a day. Maybe one day I will be inspired to chant some decently attentive rounds (as apposed to my lousy ones)...
|
|
Relationship With Krishna:
|
I am his puppet. Gurukuli, so I have grown up with many lovely Krsna pastimes. I think he is the prettiest dude I know.
|
|
Relationship With Gurukulis:
|
Tight. I suppose I am one? I want to get into a lot of campeigning with Kulis, try bring them together, look out for them. There are some great guys out there on the mission who inspire me to help more.
