Officially, my so-called "professional" life was now dead. However, it's not so easy to just stop being who you are. In fact, bhakti yoga tells us to keep doing what we are doing (if it's not sinful) and simply offer the results to Krsna. In this way, by practicing detachment, one is avoiding "karma", both "good" and "bad." Say you do something "good", then you have to be reborn to receive the "payback".
But who wants to take another miserable birth?
This is the Secret.
Just a short introduction. I guess I'm a bit of a scholar. I even earned a doctorate in dentistry and practiced for a few years, until some pretty major life altering events changed my life forever. Big divorce. Then complete loss of all property. Searching for answers, I stumbled across a great blessing: spirituality. I joined the Hare Krsna ashram in Boston and, jumped across to the U.S. to land in San Francisco, where I stayed for a few years. I was now an official "mendicant". A few years later, I learned about Srila Bhakti Raksak Sridhar Maharaj, a godbrother of A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the founder of ISKCON. By some merciful grace, I went to India and met him. He graciously accepted me as his disciple. He made it very clear, that he was to be succeeded by Srila Bhakti Sundar Govinda Swami as acarya. Shortly after being initiated by him, he passed on. I was then in North Miami, trying to hold a small ashram together with some other devotees. To my great pleasure, Srila Bhakti Sundar Govinda Swami decided to come out of India to preach and, on this First world Tour, he was kind enough to visit us, even though we had no qualifications. Such is the mercy of a pure devotee.
