krishna as my ishta deva

[Guest guest]

hare krishna,

 

 

this is roger (krishnamurti-dasa) again. i am closer to lord shri

krishna and have experienced his liberating mercy recently. due in

court to answer some very minor charges, involving a former

relationship partner's alleged accusations.

 

 

i just put it all at bhagavan shri krishna's lotus feet and i know he

will deliver me from my situation, provided i follow the guidance of

people who are willing to help me get through this issue.

 

 

my lord will deliver me safely to the other shore and i found out

that i will just receive a talking to and a strict warning. so,

krishna even does the tiniest miracles for his devotees, even one who

is badly fallen.

 

 

recently, i've taken a vow of celibacy in order to focus on devotee

lifestyle as a traditional krishna worshipper. this will help me not

fall into the same relationship trap i am caught up in now in the

future.

 

 

there are too many non-devotees here in the small american town i

have lived in for over 6 years now. someday, i wish to move to a

better area where there is a better opportunity to serve lord krishna

in working part-time in competitive employment.

 

 

sannyasa vows are not for me, yet i choose to be a single, due to

past issues with unhealthy relationships. i do have a couple friendly

companions who are women, but it is more of a platonic relationship.

 

 

they know that illicit sex-life is totally forbidden in my life as a

devotee. so, my two female friends offer friendship based on loving-

kindness, rather than by sexually illicit means.

 

 

i feel rather serene and peacefully at bliss, each day that the time

comes closer to my court appearance with the local judge. have a

simple statement, if the judge asks that i have anything to say about

this matter. will simply say that:

 

 

" i am totally free from the bondage i was once in and i thank lord

krishna for setting me free from women to pursue a religious life.

thank you for making my freedom and allowing me to come before you

all to receive a new chance to start a better life. jaya haribol! "

 

 

keep me in your thoughts and hope to hear from all of my traditional

god-brothers and god-sisters in the lord himself. have a great night

and talk with everyone later on this week. jaya haribol! jaya

haribol! jaya haribol!

 

 

your devotee god-brother,

 

Krishnamurti-dasa
