Story of my life, When I was 17 years old, I moved to Canada by myself I was very immature. I never prayed properly, or even believed in God at that time my parents used to pray, but they never had a deep knowledge of how to pray, and who to pray. I lived in Canada for 10 years and I have grown in the those years the very fact of the life is that I have seen everything one can ever imagine. For example, I used to be a party monster I used to have Lots of unnecessary Gf I used to do everything bad that one can imagine at that time I didn’t understand that it was a waste of time. One fine day I got this new job with this guy. He was not my friend, but I just knew him from somewhere the guy was a horrible, terrible ,Disgusting person with no morals in life. I used to cry every day, and I start praying from then slowly slowly it made me pray every day and i got close to the god. I started chanting Hanuman Chalisa every day while going to work and then somehow all the spirituality reels and videos started coming on my Instagram that’s how I became aware of shri premanandji from social media and every day I used to listen to him.I used to eat non-veg and eggs almost every day of my week I swear over the night I don’t know what happened. I felt like God has chosen me as soon as I eat any kind of non-veg, or eggs, I start vomiting I get fever i get sick and I start sweating alot . Then I saw a video of Shri premanandJi saying that eating non-veg is not ethical for any living beings but before that I already had quit eating it because it was not for me anymore it felt like a magic, or a blessing of God on me. Now I don’t talk to anybody who eat non-veg, or even talk about it . I can’t even see if somebody is eating.It disgusts me I felt that I was getting closer to spirituality every single day . Slowly, slowly, I stop liking to go out to go to bars or to go to club. The only thing that made me happy is to watch Shri premanandji videos and then I start gaining knowledge about my Sanatan Dharam about the Vedas so after 10 years of me living in Canada, somehow I ended up coming to India to my home country to my home in Gujarat. I was little worried. How will I fit in after 10 years in this culture how will I survive without partying drinking and smoking but Lord Krishna is real and super powerful very humble, very kind and he is everything. I can say without any doubt that He is the only God. I still pray to Mahadev and Lord Krishna and Hanuman. They saved my life. he blessed me with the power of self-control and now I don’t desire to do any wrong things that’s against my Dharma or Lord Krishna .I wanted to read Shrimag Bhagavad Gita for so long, but coincidentally, as soon as I arrived at my house, I ordered “Shrimad bhagavad Gita as it is”I feel like the only purpose of a human being is Bhagwan(Shri krishna) Prapti and I can say that because I have seen everything in the world and nothing makes me happy. No materialistic thing is permanent everything goes away or fades away. the only thing that will stay with you when you die is the name of the supreme Krishna that you have chanted, and that will help you declare your sins and be a devoted to Lord Krishna, and only serve him that’s where all the joy, happiness and peace is. I chant his name every day I pray to Radha rani and read Bhagwat Kita. I don’t know if I am ever going back to Canada but before anything my dream is to go to vrindavan(The holy place created by The one and only lord krishna) and after that, we’ll see what happens to me, but I am not worried neither do I fear death, nor any situation. Krishna is always with his devotees so nothing in this materialistic world can scare them. This is my life so far, and I am very happy with it. At least I have found the purpose and I’ll keep doing what I’m doing at the end of the day it in his hand to take me on any path he wants and I’ll be happily and blindly walking on it. Jai shree RadhaKrishna🦚🙏🏻❤️
What are your expectations from this community?
To guide me and explain me the Shrimad bhagavad gita and one day I wanna be Sanyasi and dedicate my rest of the life to Lord Krishna I know the time is not right yet to take care of my parents and some things for now. Also it gives me time to know and learn as much as I can about Lord Krishna, and gain all the knowledge properly through all the books.
Describe any specific service you would love to offer to Lord Krishna & His devotees?
The only service I can provide is to chant Lord krishna name every day. I am from a middle-class family and we don’t have much to offer in materialistic terms. And I don’t wish for anything more. I am happy and blessed in whatever Lord Krishna has given me.Hare Rama Hare krishna.
