Master Krishna Venta And Its Impact On My Life
As a 2-year-old, I had no influence over the happenings around me. On a hill nestled between Simi Valley and the San Fernando Valley, my path in life changed dramatically. There I lived in a community known as the WKFL Fountain of the World, and outsiders thought of us as unique individuals and called us barefooters. On the early morning, December 10, 1958, an explosion disrupted our community. Only years later, would there be an understanding of the impact this had, especially since one of the lives lost was the founder and leader, Master Krishna Venta.

I resided in one of the buildings, up the hill and south, above the headquarters called the Nursery where preschoolers and babies lived. Within hours after the explosion, I have my

    Many people died in the explosion, and many more were injured. There were so many people that were injured, that the hospitals were overcrowded and the Red Cross had to put up field stations to help the injured. As Wanda Lou Baker wrote in Past Stories, many of the injured were put on the lawn. The people would always have a disability, mentally or physically, that would be with them the rest of their life. Many people did not live to see another day in their life.…

    However, when I asked my grandparents if they knew anybody, they said that they used knew someone who lived in Fayetteville who had a house with a bomb shelter in their backyard. The family that lived there has since moved away and no one lives on the property anymore. So, my granddad arranged for the owner of the property, who he knows, to show us the shelter. On Sunday, April 16th, we went to the property and saw the bomb shelter. We could not go inside because a hurricane had flooded the shelter. However, we could still look inside of the hallway that led to the shelter. While I was there, I took a few pictures of what we saw. Overall, this was a great experience of seeing a fallout shelter in person rather than just studying one…

    It was a normal September day. I was 14 years old and had just arrived home on the school bus with my sister from a long day at school and was looking forward to skateboarding and playing with my dog. When I opened my front door I came in to only find my mother with a look of nervousness in her eyes as she stared at the t.v. (1-channel, Haun 4). There was a building on fire and the man on the news was saying the words “terrorist attack” over and over (2-linear transaction, Haun 3). We were living in England at the time so we didn’t have to deal with school being let out early and all of the rest of the chaos that people back home did. All we could do was watch and listen to what people back home were saying.…

    The question of condition, or problem, mainly focuses on what is wrong with the world and your surroundings or with yourself. In the Krishna and Hinduism world view, the problem is the illusion, or Maya, that people tend to build about themselves and what surrounds them. Maya is when people see themselves as something separate instead of the common Hindu belief that all things are connected. Maya brings ignorance, attachment, and reincarnation into the lives of people. People start thinking that they are the most important thing around and do not think about the harm that they may bring to others and mainly their own souls. They start betraying and killing for simple desires instead of for ones own good. By being this ignorant, the karma of a human being just begins to keep on piling up, like it is mentioned in the Gita, "Your own karma, born of your own nature, will drive you to do even that which you do not wish to do, because of your delusion" (18:60 p.60). Being caught up in this delusion and all the surrounding bad karma that floats around leads to being stuck in the endless cycle of reincarnation and having no enlightenment in the person's life because the Lord "whirls them [the creatures] round upon the wheel of Maya" (Gita 18:60 p.60). If one is locked into reincarnation, it keeps him or her from having or achieving peace, the biggest problem that a human being can have in their lifetime.…

That day marked the real start of my civic engagement journey that led me to found a local NGO five years later. The Moroccan Witness Association is a space I envisioned for myself and other local youth to discuss our religious beliefs, social concerns and aspirations for a better future, in order to reorient some destructive ideas that feed on neglect and the lack of exchange, all for the sake of preparing a healthy and thoughtful action in favor of my…

    Launched on March 1, 1949 by Acharya Shree Tulsi – the head of a Jain sect and a leading visionary of India – the Movement has since grown steadily in size and stature. Though it does not lay claim to any spectacular success or acheivement, there is no gains saving the fact that its universal appeal for gains saving the fact that its universal appeal for self-awakening has created a great impact on the outlook and behaviour of many people. It was hailed and patronised by eminent people like the late Dr. Rajendra Prasad. C Rajgopalachari, Pt. Jawarhalal Nehru, Dr S. Radhakrishnan and Jai Prakash Narayan. It has been striving to infuse with new life people degenerating fast into what T.S. Elliot aptly calls "automatications or living shadows inhibiting the great wasteland".…
