Traversing the globe on a quest to discover life’s purpose, an agnostic seeker finds his spiritual path running through (of all places!) Spanish Fork, Utah and the simple temple town of Vrindavan, India. From pious Mormon youth to middle-aged Hare Krishna, this is a story of how God illuminated the beginning of one man’s journey of inquiry and devotional service.
With a candidly authentic voice, the author describes how his life moved through phases of piety, ignorance, passion, and goodness before he stumbled upon the practices of bhakti yoga and Krishna consciousness. This discovery led him to go on pilgrimage to India where he met the spiritual teacher who initiated him into a 5000-year-old spiritual tradition based on love and devotion to God.
Praise for Moon of the Gopas“A compelling and heartfelt account of Ballava Candra’s journey toward spiritual awakening and devotion. From the very first pages, one is struck by the lack of pretense that defines his narrative style.” – Caru Das, Co-founder of the Spanish Fork, Utah Hare Krishna Temple
“I love this book! Genuine sweet amazing memories of life’s important details. Ballava Candra acutely sees valuable lessons in everything & responds with sincere respect appreciation & courtesy. With such gentlemanly vision, free from cynicism, he reveals a heartfelt desire to attain the highest goal.” – Vaibhavi Devi Dasi, Co-founder of the Spanish Fork, Utah Hare Krishna Temple
Everyone has a story of how God acts in their lives“What’s your name?” the temple visitor asked.
“Ballava Candra Dāsa,” I replied. “It means ‘Servant of God.’”
“Beautiful! Did your parents choose that name?”
“No, my spiritual teacher gave it to me.”
She glanced at her partner and smiled.
“So, how did you start coming to this temple?” he inquired.
“Well,” I said, “it would take a whole book to explain how I found Krishna consciousness. God has given me a lot of mercy, like the moon lighting a path through the night.”
The couple exchanged a knowing smile, as if they shared an inside understanding. Everyone has their own story of how God works in their life.
