The internet is just great. I can sit in my study in Grand Rapids and listen to authentic devotional chanting from India, Raganuga Bhakti – Kirtana, read hard to obtain devotional literature Raganuga Bhakti – Literature and tour the holy places of Braja Vaisnava.cz – Articles. I spent three years living in India as a […]
I totally agree with this Press editorial Untying the knot: Mandatory premarital counseling an undue intrusion into lives There is way too much emphasis in West Michigan on imposing government official’s personal religious views on the general public. When I first moved here in 1999, I became aware of the Grand Rapids Marriage Policy which […]

What wonderful results and energy have been coming to me. Having a vision and intention, writing it down, declaring, claiming it, being open to the universe…all these things are […]
And while I’m at it, let me say “no politics” either. What a bunch of crap. No wonder we’re not supposed to talk about religion or politics, they both stink. Oh, John Lennon, where are you when we need you? “Imagine!” Steve
Religious debates and theological discussions can be so boring and uninspiring when persons just want to argue their position. Religious dogma kills real theological inquiry. Those from alternative, “new age” persuasions can be as dogmatic as their more conservative counterparts. As for me, I have a life to live, things to do as I walk […]
