We have so many meetings—congressional meetings, United Nations meetings and altruistic meetings. They are trying to solve the problems of this world. Sometimes they can create some relief.

When life is treating us good and all is going well, we often don’t feel a need for God in our lives. Our material acquisitions — money, property, friends and family — become our crutch. As long as we have these things in place, we feel comfortable and don’t have a strong need for a spiritual practice. However, when these things start to fade, we feel a sense of fear and panic come over us Read more ›

With locations across central Dublin, Govindas is a great place to stop into for lunch. You walk up to the counter and ask for a regular or large plate, and the kind soul serving you proceeds to pile it high with homemade Indian-ish tasty glop. Their food isn’t as intensely flavorful as traditional Indian, but it’s so cheap and satisfying (and the soft Hare Krishna chanting playing in the background is so soothing) that I’m never disappointed Read more ›

Maybe next life or so Read more ›

I went to a monthly event called Mantra Lounge in Neal’s Yard, Covent Garden. This event usually consists of Kirtan (congregational chanting of sacred mantras), Meditation & a Vegetarian Feast.

To give you an idea about Chakrini, you have to imagine a celestial being having taken birth on this planet to bring joy and enlightment to us lost souls through the most powerful sound vibrations put into melodies for easier digestion Read more ›
