Bhagavan acarya dasa (radhadamodara): Male
United States

Hometown:: Kenosha, Wisconsin USA

My Spiritual Name: Bhagavan acarya dasa

Relationship Status:: Single

About Me:: I am 51 yrs. old, raising two teenage sons, and taking care of my elderly mother. I run a simple lawn care business. I'm a strict vegetarian, enjoy reading Srila Prabhupada's books and chanting the mahamantra. I am a former member of the Radha Damodara TSKP traveling buses ('74-'77). For a couple months I had the very close association of Visnujana Maharaja and Tamal Krsna Goswami (the highlight of my life) I was with Visnujana Maharaja and others from our bus party playing water sports in the Ganges River the day before he disappeared in Sridhama Mayapura, India in '76.

Favorite Music:: classic bhajans and kirtans, anything related to Krishna. I especially like Visnujana, Bharadvaja and Vaiyasaki. I must admit I still like the classic rock of the '70s too.

What am I looking for:: to re-connect with some old godbrothers, make new devotee friends, remember Krishna.

Favorite Temples:: ISKCON temples

Favorite Foods:: SWEETS! halavah, sweet rice, gulab jamuns, laddhus, malpuras.

Auspicious Dreams

I usually don't pay much attention to dreams. It seems like they're mostly nonsense and therefore meaningless. But when I dream about devotees and devotional service, I think maybe those dreams are... Read More »

Who Is Amma?

Added a reply Jun 25

Hare Krsna. Very nice answer. Thanks for writing. Actually, I've been thinking about deleting the whole Amma topic because at first I was only mildly curious. Now I have no interest to learn more. ... Read More »

How can we attract today's young generation in Krsna consciousness?

Added a post Jun 25

Hare Krsna. As a father of two teenage sons, I would say that two things are essential: 1) Set a good example and 2) associate with devotees. That's what I try to do. If the father is interested in... Read More »

Remembering Sanjaya

It was early 1975 when I had the good fortune to meet Sanjaya. I was a member of Drstadyumna's RDTSKP bus, the first expansion of the original Radha Damodara bus. We were all full time book distributors, traveling the country. When Sanjaya joined us, he was Bhakta Chris. He was a passionate, outgoing person, bold, yet humble. He had a great sense of humor and he was always kind and compassionate. Executing devotional service, Sanjaya was always enthusiastic and seemingly fearless. When I reme…

Farewell To Janakinatha

Janakinatha was my friend and mentor. He joined our Radha Damodara bus party in '76 or '77, having come from the Miami temple. He was knowledgeable and staunch, and had a great sense of humor. I had the opportunity to get to know him well when he and I were sent out ahead of the bus to obtain permits in various cities and towns for our sankirtana activities. Sometimes we were on our own for several days and we decided to memorize The Bhagavad-gita together in our spare time, from the beginning.…

This is a great site, even if you're a devotee who isn't necessarily a member of ISKCON, it's just full of wonderful stuff (pics, info, videos, links) and worth all the questions you have to answer to be allowed to join. They've basically kept the lunatics out (aha, i fooled em ;)
Don't pretend you're not an internet ho already...... ;)

I have a blog on there too so please add me if you join up. http://puresoul.ning.com/profile/

At 10:14am on July 11th, 2008, Avril Heffernan said…: I am in such a state. You make me sound like I'm actually a good devotee. I found out this morning that my coworkers are losing confidence in me and I might end up losing my job. I keep having blackouts from lack of sleep or something and it got back to my boss. They think I'm not 'on my game.' I'm trying so hard to keep it together but everything is just falling apart. I want to go read about your dream...

And, yes, my mom is nearby. I rely on her so much!
Talk to you soon~

I did read the last BTG. It was neat reading about the retreat. I'm not in the picture though. Missed that. It was even better than the article being there for real. I wish I could go to the next level 2 in September but there's no way to afford it. I just did a quick budget this morning and once heating season begins I'll have only $135 a month to feed the kids! I don't know how I'm going to do this. I might have to sell the house afterall. Tell me about your dream!!! I have to scoot because Fay wants to use the computer--

soy Rodolfo, te pido que me disculpes por no haber escrito antes. He estado muy ocupado, pero ahora me actualizo!

Si, leo algunos libros de Prabhupada como el Sri Isopanisad y el Baghavad-Gita. And also I can speake english, and if you want I can practice a lil more, you know?

Aca en Mendoza nos juntamos con los devotos en una casa, antes habia un pequeño templo, pero debió cerrarse.

Un gusto, hablaremos luego
Hare krishna, Prabhu !

I gave myself a henna tattoo yesterday morning. The last vestiges of my creativitiy! I used to be a portrait artist. And I did tons of computer graphics. But who has time working 40 hours and taking care of two kids? It can be so discouraging. And I got divorced Tuesday. Not the way I expected my life to go. I just have to keep telling myself that everything is Krishna's Mercy. It's just hard to do when my 8 year old is calling me a F*ing bitch and my daughter is screaming I hate mommy.
Camren just punched his sister in the head and slammed his head into the door. If you'll excuse me I need to go have a breakdown.

That really nice to knw. I missed the oppurtunity to attend London Rath yatra. Actually, I have never been at a Rath Yatra.

Well, I am good by Krishna's mercy. Krishna is helping me to manage studies and devotional life.
