Me.

Rudra Abeshekam; an ancient cleansing and purification ritual performed in hindu temples. It's for devotees of Shiva/Rudra, arguably the first deity with a name.

About Me
i came back to life 19 days after June 26th 2006. always happy, i got happier by far.
knocked off my bike by God in the form of an SUV at 5:30 am (me on my bicycle, he/she/it in the driver's seat) the 26th and living in a forest while in coma until very early one morning, when i woke up to see an old friend in prayer alongside me.
I read the Gita each day, to learn the difference between the dark inertia i lived as until 2001, and the divine being i am today.
Oh yeah -- i write books about adobe products, consciousness, and fishing. Good combination for a rainy (or sunny or any other) day in florida.

Faith Description: i'm more a Krishna, or a seeker of santaana dharma, the path to knowledge spoken of in the Vedas, the Bhagavad Gita, and other ancient Indian scriptures. I believe that Christ was an avatar in the classic tradition; and that the Gospel of Thomas shows the connection between His teachings and those of many Rishis of ancient India, as well as more current births, such as babaji in the Himalayas.
