About The Author

.

Author of this blog khestrimayum Partha is from north-eastern  part of India.

He is a devout Krishna-bhakt.   As forbidden and discouraged by Lord Shree Krishna Himself in the Bhagavad Gita, he does not worship Hindu demigods  like Kali, Brahma, Mahadev, Durga, Shani, Indra etc.    He only worships Lord Shree Krishna,  the Supreme Godhead.

Because.... 

kamais tais tair hrta-jnanah

prapadyante 'nya-devatah 

tam tam niyamam asthaya

prakrtya niyatah svaya

                                                                                                  The Bhagavad Gita ( sloka 7 / 20 )
English Translation:
Those whose minds are distorted by material desires surrender unto demigods and follow the particular rules and regulations of worship according to their own natures.

 
And also because...

antavat tu phalam tesam

tad bhavaty alpa-medhasam

devan deva-yajo yanti

mad-bhakta yanti mam api

                                                                                                       The Bhagavad Gita ( sloka 7 / 23 )

English Translation:
Men of small intelligence worship the demigods, and their fruits are limited and temporary.  Those who worships the demigods go to the planets of demigods, but My devotees ultimately reach My supreme planet.

kshetrimayum Partha does not eat animal flesh (meat ). Never did in life.

He twice visited Vrindavan dham with his parents in his childhood.   If financially possible, he desires to visit Vrindavan dham and Mathura  every year for the rest of his life.

He is interested to gain knowledge about Vaishnavites.

Radhe Radhe !
