About Me:
I from a mixed English, Hungarian, gypsy, and Jewish background. Since I was a kid I always felt like I wanted to be spiritual. I used to hang out at my hindu and sikh friends houses waching bollywood films and picking up Hindi. When I wasnt doing that I was driving my parents mad coming home with henna on my hands and my hair braided in the way the Indian / Asian kids did and all befor I was 12 years old.

Ive always felt more at home in that culture than in the one I was born in. A lot of my friends parents were surprised that I knew just how to act in their home without ever being told - but it always felt very instinctive to me.
For a long time I thought my place was in Judaism, after all thats where my roots are. But in the 5 years since i completed the Jewish conversion process it feels like the amount of jewish blood in my veins is more important to other jews than my faith. Im tired of being told i look too jewish or not jewish enough and im tired of forcing myself into a way of life that after almost 7 years still feels alien..

So here I am, at the doorway to Krishnas temple, and it feels like im home:)
Favorite Music:
Any thing devotional or Krishna related. George Harrison, Kula shaker, Govindas, Wah .... all on Itunes if anyone is interested...
What am I looking for:
A life centered around devotion and service to God, where the colour of my skin and the mix of my blood doesnt determine my right to be in a temple or to call my self a follower or believer.
Favorite Temples:
Radhe Krishna temple London ( the only one ive been to so far )
Favorite Foods:
Prasadam :) and anything sweet :)

hARIBOL - SEE IF YOU CAN GET A COPY OF "A Beginner's Guide to Krishna Consciousness " which has lots of the basics of Vaishnava standards, etiquette etc.

Dear Kimimila mataji, please accept my obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! What a blessing to read of how you came to Krsna. My own journey has taken me from churches, a monastery, Buddhism to finally the lotus feet of Prabhupada.

My guess is that your attraction to things Indian, was a karmic memory from past lives, and in coming home to the temple you are truly coming home.

After 12 years as a serious devotee, living not in a temple but in my home on an island with no temple, and starting preaching here, and getting a weekly Sunday feast happening I have had the experience of growing in this culture of being a Hare Krishna.

It is a beautiful experience, and I pray that you will grow in happiness, in surrender to God, in service with your brothers and sisters as you begin to understand that Prabhupada's ISKCON is a "HOUSE IN WHICH THE WHOLE WORLD CAN LIVE"

Mataji,don't be worried by way to dress. you see,eveyone that started to join krishna consciousness at the beginning have many faults.krishna is merciful and He will overlook the offences. well,yes for vaishnava there are proper rules and regulations to be followed both in temple and outside as well. Maybe you can read The Nectar of Devotion. well,try to associate with senior devotees(especially mataji like kitchen a lot:))), so learn some way to cook prasad, or how to do garland,cloth for deities,how to play karatala, clean the temple,many more), You are lucky because in london,there are very good temple and devotees to guide you. please,i beg for you to take this oppurtunity. Just show your heart and your love,yes love for Krishna......he will be happy and you will be happy.
I will you Hari Bhool!!!!!!!
