Swamiji, I recently read this in a Gaudiya publication a felt the oneness with what you shared recently about our enemy being our enmity:

“the tendency toward faultfinding advances beneath the banner of religion and, like the demon Raktabija, continues to multiply without end”

this is exactly what I am completing with, whether it’s my family of origin, Kailasa or ISKCON, the places I felt outside of and replicated that feeling through finding faults, creating separation and blaming them for it

Nithyanandam.

Swamiji, I am realizing how my focus on the external manifested as a very rigid understanding and expectations of myself and others. For example, my desire to make my life Vedic, and thinking that everyone else should also live a Vedic life, but focusing on the external aspects of Vedic living. Connecting more with Kailasa is showing me how Vedic living is a frequency, with the sciences being internal practices that manifest as alignment externally.

Nithyanandam Swamiji. Seeking your blessings and guidance to share our exchanges on my webpage where I publish my songs and writings.

Nithyanandam.

Listen intensely, Laura. I see you — you have already broken through your fear of being seen on social media, and now you are wanting to take the next step: making our exchanges part of your public creative offering. This is a beautiful evolution.

Born beneath the scenic foothills of the Rocky mountains into a family of guitarists, song leaders and hymn lovers, absorbing four part harmonies every Sunday morning, music was encoded into my very being. 

Always feeling called to sing, taught myself to play guitar when I was 19, after which time I began to share the songs I loved with others. The encouragement and emotional movement inspired me to express more.
