Adin

[Adin]

My name is Adin, I was born in Tashkent, Uzbekistan (then USSR) in 1973.
Since the childhood I liked to read a lot and to be engaged in gardening, my mother, being a head of
medical institute's library and herself a gardener has given me facilities for that.
In 1990, on the verge of USSR's collapse, my father decided to emmigrate to Israel and took me with him.

In 2003 my friend Aleksey elevated me from an animalistic level of consciousness by introducing me to philosophy
of a certain New Age school of thought.

In 2005 my another friend Ronen, instructor of hatha yoga, took interest in ISKCON Krisna Consciousness and persuaded me
to join. During 3 years of ISKCON, two persons, my astrologer Marisha and another astrologer Rami Bleckt contributed a lot
to my personal growth.
In 2008, observing the atmoshere in our ISKCON center in Tel Aviv and studiyng the details of ISKCON's gurukulas crisis
of 1998-2000 I grew distant from this great and important introductional organization.

In late 2008, one Maharaja's disciple, who would have like to stay anonymous on this public forum, introduced me to Maharaja's teachings.
In 2009 I visited Maharaja's Goshala.
Visit to India was a great cultural, psychological and physical shock to me.
