"Wow! No mushrooms now, too. This is the first I've heard of this. Interesting. And aren't greens, fruits, and vegetables considered plants or at least derived from plants?"
"Hare Krishna Yashvini!
Thank you so sincerely for your time in responding to this discussion. The articles you sent me have fully convinced me to avoid garlic! Haribol! Now I have a better idea as to why I also suffer from many of the health…"

"Oh. Ok. This is the first time I've ever heard that Krishna doesn't like onions and garlic. That definitely simplifies things. Thank you. As a new devotee I have many questions. If something does not make sense to me, I typically won't do it until…"
"Thank you Rashmi! That was very helpful. I'm mid-way through chapter 12 in the Gita. Have I passed that section you're referring to?
It's been recommended I substitute Hing for garlic. I'm just wondering how hard it is to find here in the U.S. "

"Dear Bhuwan Dutt Bawari, I sincerely thank you for your kind words of encouragement. Yes, I'm surrounded by the people you describe. It gets very lonely at times."
"Thank you Zola! Your response and time is much appreciated. However, I am still unclear on the subject. So in simplicity, is the imagination the false ego?"
"Sweet Krishna Dasi! There are not enough words even in the romantic language to express my gratitude to you. Your story gave me chills, smiles and tears. Overall, you helped me to make sense of most of it. Your precious time that was used to guide…"

Dearest Meera! I hope these replies let you know that you are not alone! I am a woman in my mid thirties facing the same difficulties that you do. Your story made my heart scream out to help you! I get…"

When, where and how did you come into contact with the Hare Krishna Movement?
I first came in contact with the Hare Krishna movement when I was a child vacationing in Laguna Beach. I saw a devotee chanting on a street corner. In 1997 I was given a pendant of Sri Lord Krishna. Earlier this year, the founders of Yogalution Studio in Long Beach, California introduced me back to the movement. I came across a biography on Srila Prahupada in May of this year. The following month I discovered and met His Holiness Radhanath Swami at Yogalution studio where he kindly signed his autobiography and accepted my sincere gratitude. I humbly requested some sincere advice from him. He told me to call to Krishna. I have been strictly practicing Krishna Conciousness and bhakti since June 11, 2014.
Name the nearest or most frequently Visited ISKCON temple/ centre and name few of the devotees whom you know.
I have visited the Laguna Beach Temple and the LA temple in California.
Please describe yourself so that other like minded devotees can find you.
I have 3 cats that I love. I have a strong desire to educate people about animal rights, marine conservation and compassion towards nature. I have practiced neo pagan and earth based religions such as Wicca for the past 17 years. My background in Wicca which teaches and encourages a supreme love, respect and compassion to nature has helped me become an aspiring devotee of Krishna.
What are your expectations from this community?
I hope to meet open-minded devotees who are willing to share their journey, patience and encouragement with me.
Describe any specific service you would love to offer to Lord Krishna & His devotees?
I love to paint and engage myself in creative writing! Those are services I can offer with a dedicated heart. I am willing to help in any way I can when it comes to dealing with material addiction!
