My first experience of Krishna would have been when I was about 7 or 8 watching th e devotees chant up and down queen st.
Fasinated by the chiming and now known by myself as Kartalas.
My mother would usher me on quickly spounting words like werido's..nutty people.
I then heard nothing from Krsna till early twenties when I came to abook store that at the time didnt realise was about to change my life.

Just about to walk out as I had my reflexology book I had come in topurchase when I was guided to a particular row in a particular shelfthat had smiling Prabhupadas face gracing the cover. I thought he lookslike a man who knows whats going on.. so I grabbed that book TheScience of Self Relization and a book next to it THe Bhagavad Gita Asit is.

I read furiously through the first one, and felt the blow of realisimhit me hard good but hard. I immediately tried to better my life bysurrounding myself with paraphenelia of Krishna and associates,lectures, listening to Devotees, chanting and worshiping the Lordsnames. And after 7 miniscule years I would have to say I have learntmore in those 7 years than in the rest of my life.
One night I remember feeling in a rather Krishnaized mood as I waschanting while checking the mailbox at like 11pm I looked up and sawthe moon disappear behind a cloud, I called to Krishna to show me hisbeautiful eye and as I said this the cloud moulded into an eye brow asthe moon sat asthetically perfect within it and my heart melted. I willnever forget that. Krishna is everywhere and in everything, thecomplete balance of all we can see with our imperfect senses.
