I am a practising MBBS doctor and have turned 99.9% vegetarian,do not drink alcohol,no gambling,no illicit sex,chanting a minimum of 4 to a maximum of 24 rounds of mahamantra.I have made a ISKCON like temple inside my room and conduct pooja,aarti etc daily.So I don't visit ISKCON partly because of my depression and anxiety and partly because some prabhus are bullies.My aim is to leave this body without any physical or mental pain of attachment,grief.I have also taken diksha from Maharishi Mahesh yogi in hata yoga and practice it 4 times a week.I live alone and do my own cooking.I also practice sudarshan kriya of sri sri ravishankar.I got a small library of srila prabhupad books.I had a subscription for BTG and my article on lord Narasimha was published in BTG.I am 57 years old now.I wear a shikha and gopi tilak.On the day of diksha I could not go because I have sleep issues and also due to mosquito bites.My sisters suicide reintroduced me into bhakti procedure.I have been an avid reader of Aurobindo vivekananda osho theosophical society J Krishnamurthi.I am interested in the neurobiology of human spiritual endeavor.
