Re: intro
Fri, January 20, 2006 - 7:11 AMthank u for sharing ur story cyd. this is testimony to the power of the mahamantra. prabhupada said it was like thunder, we dont need to understand thunder (well at least initially) to feel its power!
in my experience all the rage and anger ppl feel can often be transcended thru offenseless chanting and service to krsna.
hare krsna

Fri, January 20, 2006 - 9:24 AMGreeting Cyd Prabhu. Glad for you that you are able to have such a circumstance as be able to take on Krishna Consciousness. I myself was a hard core puck with lots of SHARP friends, but over time I lost all taste in that and went from punk to monk. Hare Krishna
Your servant,
