I owe my life to my parents and their love. A Portrait Of My Parents (Once There Was A Way To Get Back Home) https://youtu.be/vD3Tl9UQMMs After they divorced in 1969, I grew up as a teenager in Hawaii through the 1970s and attended NYU 1975 - 1976. After some soul-searching I decided that marrying the Japanese woman of my dreams was more important than completing a 4-year college degree. By 22 my 27 year-old wife and I were living in New York City with our baby on the way. Agnostic since high school, George Harrison’s All Things Must Pass made me a believer in the Radha-Krishna Deities. As a seeker of truth I became a born-again Christian in 1979 the same time Bob Dylan did, and read the words of Jesus Christ for the first time. His words convinced me that marriage was more important than college and helped me change my life‘s trajectory. Although I had metaphorically stood atop Mount Everest at 22, my journey post-marriage has descended to “the valley below” as the laws of karma (suffering the consequences of making mistakes), the transcendent themes of separation and eternal love, and Jyotish (Vedic astrology) have acted as guides, helping this sojourner navigate the material plane and return to the Eternal Abode. I have returned to the spiritual path of Sanātana Dharma (Devanagari: सनातन धर्म, meaning "eternal dharma", or "eternal order"), worshipping Radha and Krishna, reading the Vedic literature, studying Jyotish and chanting the Mahamantra: Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. I feel like one who has been rescued (again) by the mercy and Krishna prema (eternal live) of Krishna and Radha. Hari bol! View more posts
