When the time came for me to step forward you spoke of Faith. You held me securely in your heart and I leapt.
For me, KrsnaKnows’ Internet presence was a lifeline. Something beyond my understanding happened to me in 2016, and I found great comfort in His teachings. In an effort to express my gratitude and because I wanted to be known, I sent an email through the KrsnaKnows website. When Krsna’s kind response came with an invitation to join the Saturday and Sunday Satsang, I was thrilled.
Blessed with an invitation to join, it was now up to me to take the next step. Admittedly, I fought my tendency to conceal myself. I was possessed of fear. My apprehension did not stem from joining the group, it stemmed from a fear that as I reached out, somehow the connection would vanish. But at the moment I needed it, Faith was bestowed on me.
Soon after joining the weekly satsangs, Krsna offered to train me in spiritual. KrsnaKnows has no expectations of me. There are no monetary or other transactions. There are no compulsions. Krsna let me know in no uncertain terms, I was free to join and could walk out at any time. While the option to walk out is mine, I will always be with Him.
During these initial weeks, my family started to become concerned since I was speaking with an unknown person on the internet. One night my husband said he wanted to listen to my exchange with my Spiritual Teacher. So, he sat just outside the doorway of the room where I was having my on-line video chat with Krsna. Right off, while giving an example on a subject and as part of that example Krsna said, “if your husband were standing at the window …” I didn’t say anything about my husband being present, but Krsna new he was there. I was astonished. My conversation with Krsna must have bored my husband, he could not hear it very well and soon left the doorway.
Other family members wanted to know about KrsnaKnows, so I gave them some info that they could use to vet him. Whether they actually researched him or not, I don’t really know. There were very few conversations about this Spiritual Master. The mention of God tends to make some people silent, perhaps they are unwilling or uninterested in investigating or speaking of God’s presence. Or maybe they have fully exhausted their inquiry and found nothing.
I have to say that I am “all-in.” Learning the Holy writings and the stories of Sri Krishna has expanded me. Learning about my spirit soul has ignited me. I try my best to be ready before time when it comes to Krsna. I look forward to each satsang. When Krsna travels and is not available for satsang, I am sad, but use the time to reflect deeper on the satsangs that have passed.
We have faith in all types of worldly things (money, family, law, etc.), why shouldn’t we have Faith in God? It’s okay to take a step and leap. He will catch you!
