		<description><![CDATA[I beat myself up all the time for not writing. Of course, the world is not holding its breath waiting for my pearls of deathless prose, so if I don&#8217;t write, who besides me is missing out? The thing is, writing, for me, means communication. I want people to read (or hear) and respond. The [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Does my service matter to Krishna if it doesn't matter to me?

Even if our service can be done be someone else, we owe it to Krishna and to ourselves to do it in such a way that we become indispensable, as if somebody's life depended on it, especially our own.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If I were still caught in my low-grade mental illness, I'd be feeling very ashamed about this situation, further evidence that I've not lived up to my "potential." Oddly enough, I'm not, even though a part of me thinks I should be. I've come to realize that this kind of mental assault—in the forms of fear, regret, shame, etc., etc., etc.—that replays itself over and over, long after the behavior that triggered them is over, is simply another bullet in the arsenal of the illusory energy, Maya-devi.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been confronted with the fact that I&#8217;m a negligent mother. No, I don&#8217;t have kids, I&#8217;m talking about criminal neglect of a brainchild. This morning, when I should have been chanting my japa, I was checking my email. What I read there made my blood chill a degree or two, made my stomach muscles [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I spend a good portion of the day researching the difference between vartma-pradarsaka guru, patha pradarsaka guru, and pravartana acharya. I then spend a much longer time thinking about gurus, and faith, and what my next steps in Krishna consciousness will be. My faith took a heavy blow several years ago, and it is only [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In this post I&#8217;m experimenting with voice, that elusive quality that makes a piece of writing recognizable, entertaining, and memorable. There&#8217;s a wonderful essay by Louis Menand, part of a book review in the New Yorker, which deliberates on this feature of literary expression, and which helped me to understand some things that had been [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My friends (Oh, Lord, I just sounded like John McCain for a moment there), I&#8217;ve stayed up this late because it took me this long to screw up the courage to make a blog post, and because I couldn&#8217;t think of anything to write until I found the following transcript on my desktop.

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve wanted to be a Renaissance man ever since I first heard of it, like, fifth grade or so. They call them polymaths now. Leonardo da Vinci is the quintessential polymath, as this article shows. I&#8217;m happy to say that I share at least one obvious quality with il Signore da Vinci: we both are [...]]]></description>
