Living a Fearless Life

Krsna teaches me to fearlessly move through life.


For weeks now, I have been clearing out my home. Through the course of the last 20 years, stacks of boxes and such have filled my life to the point that it has become difficult to know what’s here. The clutter around me is a reflection of the clutter within me.

Taking aim at the clutter, the boxes are steadily being removed. The mind clutter is much more difficult to remove and requires Divine intervention. Through the blessing of my Guruji, the cleansing is ongoing.

Each day brings new challenges. Thankfully, there is a growing arsenal of knowledge bestowed by KrsnaKnows, as He has countlessly and repeatedly given the same lessons in different formats, so that I might grasp the true understanding. Compared to the time this journey began, there has been a vast clearing of mind stuff.

Among the best of lessons is to be fearless. There is nothing on this earth that can change the pure essence of my being. Thus, I am free to be bold and live the life that God has given me.

Being fearless means launching, head and heart, through all that life presents. The first step is to shut down the internal naysayer. Do not allow the mind clutter of imagined or past limitations to thwart growth. Next, be dispassionate concerning the outcome of any plan and be fearless in execution. Make a plan, work towards that end and relinquish the mind clutter of imagined success or failure. Finally, with detachment, face those who create obstacles and strife; see them for what they are, and avoid creating new karma. Don’t allow other people’s garbage to clutter the mind. Move forward, always do the very best job and leave the clutter behind.

Learning to be fearless is born of Faith in my Guru’s teachings. He walks with me each day and helps me to understand the Truth about this life. As my devotion grows, so does the strength to face all that comes my way.

A Karmically Slow Start

So, here it goes... Let me first state that I am a neophyte in this spiritual world and it is only with my KrsnaGuru's grace that I am writing. Despite having been baptized as an infant and later given communion and confirmation as a child within the Catholic Church, I was quite unaware of God.  But when I was 9 years old, my father passed away from acute leukemia.  Within six months of his diagnosis, he was gone. His brothers, my uncles told me that God wanted my father to be with him at his right side. This was my first awareness of God. This God I felt did not care about me. This God took my father from me.  I did not care to know this merciless God. Later, as a young person, I was fully immersed in the temperament of the time. The 1970's, in my area of America, brought a wave of self-centerness in adult parents fueled by a cultural acceptance of alcohol use that left a generation of adolescents...

Spiritual Communion

Thank you KrsnaKnows for the impetus to write this blog and for the all the blessings you have bestowed on me. Rising Sun Throughout the year (2016) I had many moments where I believed that God was moving me and prompting me to act. The fact that I thought it was God communicating with me was a foreign idea. God could not have picked a less “God involved” person than myself, with whom to communicate. Yet, on several occasions in 2016, I said to my husband, “I think God is speaking to me.” Having taken up oil painting a few years prior, I was attending a training workshop in a neighboring state.   On the drive down to Maryland, I gave some thought to the feeling I had that God was drawing me nearer to Him.   I considered the possibility that I may be dying and that was the cause of God’s growing presence in my life.   So, I reviewed my life and decided if indeed it were time for me to leave this life that would be fine.   I pronounced my life ha...

The Seeker, The Net and The Teacher

Thank you, Krsna for casting such a broad net, that I might rise with You, free from the weight of this material world.  MyKrsnaGuru As I searched the Internet for answers, I came to hear the KrsnaKnows podcasts. Krsna’s Satsang podcasts conveyed the unfettered truth, full of sincerity, patience and Godly conviction.  His style was full of candor and blunt honesty. The Preceptor held my attention for hours on end. I listened over and over as He dutifully executed His mandate. Shortly thereafter, I saw KrsnaKnows' YouTube recordings of the Bhagavad Gita Satsangs and those of the Srimad Bhagavatam too. Wow! I have to admit that since the podcasts had no visual component, the voice I knew (in my mind's eye), had a very different body attached to it. I’m blushing now, but you know, He is all-attractive.  A few months had passed with me tuned in almost daily. When the Shri Guru Charitra readings were posted I was overcome with Love as I listened. I...
