My journey to Krishna consciousness
It started when I was doing my 2nd year of IT engineering and had lot of problems regarding the life , studies, financial issues,etc. Then there comes a phase in my life where our semester ends and college asks us for doing Internship in real life industry to enhance our skills and key concepts,etc.
That internship was in Bhaktivedanta Hospital & Research Institute,Mira Road.I enrolled in the internship as the internship work covered the Data analysis , Tableau, SQL server,etc. some of the fascinating things; sice hospital was very near to my house I was luckily selected as a Team Leader for the project.
Then being a Team leader I met the HOD of IT department Mr. Ranganathan sir ( Kripasindhu Prabhuji ) - Hero for my spiritual advancement. He not only taught me how to make yourself stand out in corporate world with all the necessary skills for my material growth but also gave me the Krishna Prasadam and Krishna Katha teaching several times which made me understand the difference between material and spiritual life .But this didn't work appropriately for me as the internship ends soon and i was back to my material life again struggling with life problems. But this internship laid the foundation for my spiritual life and formed a divine relationship with pure devotee of Krishna ,as Kripasindhu Prabhu.
After six months we were again called out for internship but this time was not lucky enough as I had some eye disorder and I have to leave to Punjab for eye treatment. But Krishna's wish was something else; I was again back to Mumbai and Kripasindhu Prabhu asked me if I can join internship for 2 weeks ; being literally Kripasindhu as he called for me new BSC project and made arrangement from college side to allow me for internship as the college was strated for new semester. I worked for 2weeks and completed some part of the project. This time also I had Krishna Prasad and got various Srila Prabhupad's books to read which again made my soul clean towards Krishna consciousness.
After this internship I again met Kripasindhu Prabhu in his place for Krishna Janmautsav (Janmastami) and again there I had Krishna Prasadam which continuously made me revive for the spiritual ground. Also on this day I visited Iskcon juhu temple and chanted the 1st round of Hare Krishna mahamantra. This day in my life actually made me understand there is something special missing in my life which am not aware of.
But until now I was just attracted but not able to understand the whole idea of Krishna Bhakti . Then there again came a gap of six months where I was living my life with very minute understanding of Krishna consciousness.
After this gap I was again called by Ranganathan prabhuji for some urgent work on paid internship. Hearing this opportunity I was very eager to meet him again.
This internship duration made me able to dive into ocean of Krishna consciousness and somehow get the precious stones of Krishna prem. This mercy began as follows:
As this paid internship is to be done as part time job during Saturday's and Sundays as my college was on and am able to get time on weekends. So on a fine Sunday feast day I reached the hospital for regular work. Then I got a call from Kripasindhu Prabhu for invitation for Sunday feast. When I reached , there was HG Gopinath Prabhu speaking that was the first time I heard something about Krishna Katha and then there was time for Harinaam Sankirtan & dancing started along with chanting again this was time that I most enjoyed.
And then there came Hari Prasadam which again I enjoyed the most. After that day I started diving deep into it ,wh
The onwards I was actually enjoying this association and got a attachment for Krishna consciousness.
After that auspicious day i was blessed with devotees and started scratching YouTube for Iskcon association and there i got blessings of HG Amogh Lila prabhuji and he actually take me to new heights for Krishna consciousness. Because of which i got YouTube association like HG Amarendra prabhuji,Iskcon Dwarka,Sri Sri Radha Gopinath Temple,etc. And within few days I got the opportunity to attend the session of HG Amogh Lila prabhuji in Sri Sri Radha Gopinath Temple, there again I had Harinama Katha ,Naam Sankirtan , Prasadam and I experienced the real happiness. That day I actually decided to compulsorily have Krishna consciousness in my life. From then onwards I am practicing Krishna consciousness with blessings of Kripasindhu Prabhu ,other devotees and definitely by the divine grace of Srila Prabhupad and Krishna.That is how my journey to Krishna Consciousness which
actually gave me real happiness which flourished my spiritual and material life as well.
Hare Krishna !!!
