Hello Hari.
I used to be your disciple when you had that status in ISKCON. (I had the longest name ever..and left before you left..)
I have no hard feelings or grudges about you or your decisions to leave.
(or for ISCKON for that matter. I have forgiven and forgotten. I have almost zero connections to temples and former devotees and ISKCON POV these days.)
I pray you and your near and dear ones are happy and safe from all unhappiness. I wish you have a wonderfully rich and satisfying life and that whatever was broken or wounded would be healed and become a limitless source of happiness for everyone and everything everywhere.
I sometimes meditate and usually that involves visualizing a Buddha or Christ or something that represents one's former and present teachers ie. parents, school teachers, spiritual teachers and so on. You are included in that visualization. Hope you don't mind.
Just wanted to say hello and perhaps write more to some other sections too..
No regrets-no hard feelings
Thank you for saying such words. Much appreciated. ( I felt an urge to say something positive when I wrote this, as so many here seem to be on the negative side for umpteenth of reasons...)Hari wrote:Thank you very much and may you be fortunate in all the ways you wish!
