Labor Day, USA, 2003, what a joke. What a pity. Millions out of work. Pension plans plundered and decimated. Opportunities for education and a promising careers diminishing. Opportunities to go to prison increasing. Illegal immigrants doing unwanted jobs. Persons with college degrees doing unwanted jobs. Downsizing, merging, watching the bottom line.

Erotic love is one of the best ways to share love between two persons in this world. Done in the right consciousness, it can be a spiritual experience mirroring the love of God/Goddess and devotee.

From 1967-1974, I was a disciple of A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami. I became a swami or renunciate myself and lived in India for three years. […]
