Purnadas

I dont know about anyone else but it seems to me as though i had some hefty problems at the same time as entering into Krishna activity but this was mostly to do with over attachment to prohibited things esp. my girlfriend. When Krsna helped me conquer these i seem to have started having a completely normal Krishna time. What i mean is ever since then my experiences have been completely in line with scripture. Its not that before they were so contrary to scripture but they were accompanied by intense anxiety and i was performing austerities not recommended in scripture. But it seems to me that i am now being judged schizophrenic for things such as ecstatic symptoms just because i had those problems in the beginning. Medication helped me then but now i feel it is just keeping me down. Not too down though

I have already entered bhagwan realization. I dont think our conversation should happen on open forum. My e-mail is briscoe@mail.global.net.mt

Please help but how do we exchange addresses? I am aware that i need to associate with other devotees but want to get this psychiatrist out of the way. I am in contact with ISKCon in england but my psychiatrist specifically wants some sort of indication from a fellow psychiatrist that he will be able to tell the difference between transcendental symptoms and mundane symptoms even just a doctor recommending that we consult Srila prabhupadas books in this connection would be a great help as i could then do the rest myself. Thanks for replying

Hey Prabhu cool page. I need some help. I was initiated into Krisna Consciousness about 6 years ago in India however for one reason or another i did not communicate adequately with my guru (i was terrified as i was still confused over personalism vs monism and i didnt want to lose my girlfriend as well) so i eventually found myself back in the west in a very confused and anxious state. So of course i was nabbed by a psychiatrist. I was confused and anxious because i had found that suddenly Krishna was talking to me through everyone and everything and as you say i did not have sufficient education on the matter. Anyway i had a harrowing few years and then i finally tried and eventually managed to follow the reg. principles as Srila Prabhupada recommends. And sure enough after some time i acheived liberation. Then AFTER this i got hold of the 4 scriptures He recommends and i found exact accounts of all my crazy Krishna conscious experiences. This was 2 years ago. Now i am still under enforced treatment but all of my "worrying symptoms" have turned into ecstasies. I still have to take terrible medication and i am not allowed to go back to india and there are no other devotees i know of here (Malta). However recently my psychiatrist has indicated that he would be willing to give me a trial off medication ("against his better judgement") but says that I need to find a way of differntiating the symptoms outlined in scripture from those of mundane schizophrenia. It seems that he will only accept evidence from an accepted psychiatrist preferably published. Can anyone help me in my search pleeeeeease
