Have you got Character?

Currently we have 15 very successful Krishna Consciousness Socieites all over the UK, attracting students from all different backgrounds and walks of life, it is truly a unique thing.

Just two days ago we had a very powerful event at City University, based on "Character Development" as the focus. The highlighted points were personal definitions of character; how character is tested and what is required to develop character.

We discussed current real life examples who are dominating the news and media. The first name that came to mind was Lewis Hamilton. Youngest ever winner of the F1.

He has shown great character to get to where he is today. People may have been more skilled, not believed in him etc, however due to his strong character he has achieved his goal. His character and skill will now be put to the test when he has to once again prove himself as a great driver.

Another good example is Barack Obama. He has taken over one of the most influential and powerful countries in the world, at the moment things may seem bright but will his character be up to the test to deal with criticism, change, unsupportive nations and other crisis that are bound to come.

And finally, it's ok when you're winning. Everyone's best of friends and supporting each other but true test and strength of character comes when placed in difficulties. For example Chelsea got thrashed (3-1 wohooo) this week. All these points make people realise that having skills, qualifications, attributes, good looks can only get you soo far but your character and desire to develop character will take you further and this can only be achieved in co-operation with the supreme person, Lord Krishna.

A Visit to the "Dirty South"

So recently I had the great fortune of facilitating a session entitled 'What a Wonderful World' in Crawley, or the "Dirty South" as us Northeners like to refer to them as. I was clever because I did not drive down myself (they steal stuff in Crawley); I hid my watch under my sleeve and tucked mu tulsi beads in. Reaching the event safely we had an interactive discussion; great music and food all in a really nice, chilled out environment. There were some really deep, some really funny and some really inquisitive questions from the members and all in all it was a great night out in the dirty south.

The points highlighted in the discussion were choosing between material and spiritual happiness; long term and short term gain; and how to practically improve our day to day lives.

They're hoping to buy there own centre soon due to their growing support and enthusiasm from the young people taking on more responsibility in thier Krishna Consciousness. It is so inspiring to see everyone working together to spread the happiness which everyone in the world is undoubtedly looking for!

Please keep it up! Hope to see you guys again soon!
