First things first - I wouldn't go to that link you posted if my firstborn's life depended on it. I wasn't born yesterday, and I know how scripts work to "acquire" personal information like passwords. Not gonna happen.
Damn. A living Hare Krishna. I thought you guys went extinct at the end of the 1980's. I remember seeing y'all chanting and dancing and playing those tambourines and shit at airports when I was on my way to this or that war.
I remember seeing y'all marching down Euclid Avenue in Cleveland Ohio in August 1979 (I recall the date because this was right after I got back from Nicaragua, and I was in no mood for such nonsense) doing the same with the chanting and dancing and tambourine playing and bell-clanging, making such a racket that quite a number of fine folk dodged dangerous traffic to get to the other side of the street and escape y'all. That racket echoed off the buildings at the sides of those concrete canyons and was damn near deafening. I was told later that the reason you do that is to "drive off demons", and I can believe it - not even a demon would put up with a racket like that!
I remember the flowers and donation-begging in the airports.
But I've not seen hide nor hair of a Hare Krishna for over 30 years now. I'm surprised there are still any around.
I'm sorry, but a life without meat, or garlic, or onions is no kind of life at all. Foregoing those things makes happiness impossible. Humans are omnivorous - we'll eat any damned thing. Why do you suppose we have canine teeth? It's because the gods meant for us to eat meat!
Also, my God severely frowns upon eating anything consecrated to strange gods, so making offerings of anything at all to Krsna is absolutely out of the question for me. If I did that, I couldn't eat it afterwards, so what would be the point?
I'm plenty happy enough without any Krsna in my life. I don't think I'd survive being any happier, and they'd certainly have to put me in jail for it if I was.
If I wanted to follow religious dietary laws, I'd become a Muslim - at least they're allowed to eat some kinds of meat... and garlic... and onions.. and I wouldn't have to beg for donations in airports as a Muslim. It's all that mandatory killing of Infidels that turned me off from Islam, though. And bacon. Islam wouldn't let me eat bacon - what kind of life would that be? I reckon we all have our strange quirks.
So, you do you, and be as happy as you can with it. I'm happy for ya, ok? BUT don't expect to get many converts or donations from folks on this site - most of us are old enough to recall the Hare Krishnas, and so we are already forewarned.
You have a nice day now, y'hear?
