Damn i missed the cutoff by 3 yrs 😂 i get people hate it but I find it quite funny.

Too bad. Could've been fun

I get where you’re coming from. You’re not rejecting anything, you’re just trying to figure out what truly resonates with you. And that’s okay—spirituality isn’t about blind adherence, it’s about connection. You’ve already realized something important: peace matters more than routine. If chanting feels mechanical and reading feels like a hammer to the face, then something’s off.

Your instinct to explore Bhakti Marga’s mantra for 40 days is a good one. It’s structured, it gives you time to reflect, and it lets you see if this practice genuinely brings you closer to what you’re looking for. But here’s something to watch out for: don’t just measure success by "peaceful feelings." Real spiritual growth can be uncomfortable too. Ask yourself—do I feel more connected to God? Do I feel more clarity in my purpose? Do I feel more present in my life?

The need for a living guru also makes sense. Reading books is powerful, but without guidance, it’s easy to feel like you’re just absorbing information without transformation. If Bhakti Marga’s approach feels more alive for you, then it’s worth diving deeper. That doesn’t mean leaving behind everything you’ve learned from Srila Prabhupada—it just means you’re seeking a path that speaks to your heart, not just your mind.

I’d also suggest this: don’t be in a rush to “choose” a path right now. Instead of thinking, Is ISKCON right for me? Is Bhakti Marga right for me?—try asking, Where do I feel closest to God? That’s your real answer.

And don’t be afraid to talk to someone directly. Whether it’s a monk, a mentor, or someone from either tradition who understands both perspectives, a real conversation might help you sort through your thoughts better than just introspection alone.

At the end of these 40 days, instead of forcing a decision, just sit with what you’ve learned. If it’s real, you won’t need to force it. While it's not mandate to have a guru in Kaliyuga, like trauma, bhakti also has seperate manifestations for all.

There is no right and wrong in this case. Surrender to Your lord and ask him to guide you brother. Ask him to show the way. To lead to the path which brings you to your eternal salvation at his lotus feets. Beg and pray for guidance from him.

Keep your heart open. There is no burden of anything. Some rules are meant with great intention but are not made for all. Like boarding schools.

I will suggest you one thing more : find religion outside conventional practices.

Help others, feed others, listen to others, give time - money - food - effort - ear / hand / shoulder : whatver you can to whomever in need. Don't seek dharma and God in just rituals and mantras.

Often in the rat race of punya and jaap counts, we forget golden lines of our texts :

सर्वं ब्रह्ममयं जगत् : The entire universe is pervaded by Brahman

यथा दृश्यं तथा ब्रह्म यथा ब्रह्म तथा जगत् :
सर्वं खल्विदं ब्रह्म - तस्मै श्री ब्रह्मात्मने नमः

As is the seen, so is Brahman; as is Brahman, so is the universe. All that there is, all that surrounds me , indeed, is Brahman. To that Supreme Self, I offer my salutations."

My personal advice is this :

चित्तमेव हि संसारो योगिनां मोक्षकारणम् : The mind itself is the cause of bondage and liberation for a yogi.

Don't get too caught up in rituals and mantras if you can't do organically. You would face much more bigger guilt and may even feel bad if the same would happen to you after you started following proper physical gurues specially the ones that you know if and like and feel drawn to. Bhakti bhaav is more important than number of beads. Our texts are a testament to that.

You are on a good path by questioning things and seeking more. Keep going. Get in touch with nature, get sun daily. And try to actively be more sattvic. He is calling you, he is waiting for you. If you take one step towards him, he will take 10.


May the lords lights guide us all to peace and prosperity 🙏 sitaram 🌞 😇 🙏 🪷 ❤️

Besst yaar bhai chha gaya apna!

I recently deleted my account permanently. There's a lot of restlessness but slowly adopting.

Tech needn't be expensive. You just have to define what you want. Most come to the developers with nothing much more than an idea on a napkin. This causes the developers to pad their proposals because they know feature creep is coming soon. But whenever you have it well defined, their reaction is almost always, "oh, that's what you need? That'll only take X and we can do that for $X."

Investors fall back to looking for a tech cofounder when you don't have product-market fit. Go get that first and their panting for a CTO will die out.

A very happy b'day bro. Health, success and happiness to you

She was not the right person for you, and with those slaps she isn’t the right person for anyone.

I’ve gone through physical assault from my ex. When it happened, I was so lost, and wasn’t able to contemplate how could this happen to me, where did I go wrong, and angry. 10 years later, today I feel it was universe slapping me to wake me up and show that he wasn’t the right guy and it wasn’t the right life for me.

Your mom’s watching you. She saved you from a monster. No mother wants her son to suffer like that. She’s guiding you. And now She’d want you to be the most happiest and fulfilled version of you. Good riddance and from now on you do only soul nourishing activities!

I'll sit alongside
