I am just praying to carry out my Srila Prabhupada's instructions. He told me in a dream shortly after he departed, to "show the world how to have a real Krsna conscious marriage." Currently, I am serving as Senior Minister in this area and I am the President of the GVT or Grhastha Vision Team, dedicated to strengthening marriage and families in ISKCON.
My husband, Tariq Prabhu and i are Co-directors of the Dasi-Ziyad Family Institute (www.dzfi.org) which teaches healthy relationships skills to couples, individuals and families. We present workshops and are the authors of several related articles. I have written the First Book of Hare Krsna Puzzles, Quizzes and Riddles and am co-author of Heart and Soul Connection: A Devotional Guide to Marriage Service and Love as well as co-author of All-In-One Marriage Prep: 75 Experts Share Tips to Help You Get Ready Now. We have published a curriculum: Parenting for the 21st Century, a comprehensive, interactive guide for a variety of childcare providers. Together, my husband and I have 19 children and I have given birth to ten, 5 boys and 5 girls.
What are your expectations from this community?
