Hi, I'm happy you are choosing to read my profile to find the likelihood of compatibility, rather than just responding to photos. Two things important to know are that I am vegetarian, and it would be awesome if you are, too, or heading that way. Also, I am a Krishna devotee--that is a big focus in my life, so I hope you appreciate that, not just "tolerate" it! Whatever your spiritual path, I hope it will be compatible.
Home is the redwood mountains of Santa Cruz,CA. I am, by nature,happy and cheerful,with a flair for humor and a keen mind. I'm easy to read(straightforward),practicing deeper levels of honesty(a life work).
Love to laugh, and can do so with abandon! I am very young at heart and can bring that out in others. My inner child is easily entertained for I find delight in life's simple pleasures! Good music makes me dance with joy, and even moreso, if it is kirtan!
Money isn't what I look for...I cherish authentic people who live by what is truly meaningful.
I listed my religion as Hindu-though "yoga", the path to union via inquiry into our true nature-is more accurate. I am devotional by nature, identifying as "Vaisnava", and a bhakta. I enjoy eastern philosophy.
I so love peaceful times in nature. I am lucky to live in the forest, so I don't have to go far to have beauty before me every day. What' s more, I don't need to be entertained to have a happy day....
As for my favorite activities,they often involve music: singing, especially kirtan(devotional chanting to all kinds of sweet melodies), or an occasional concert or festival. I have a beautiful garden that I spend lots of time cultivating and enjoying. I also love tasty, healthy, organic food. I love a good movie, sometimes even watching a corny Bollywood film, since music is a passion for me. I've traveled many places, though not enough of the U.S. I have a very sweet cat & a deep love of animals. I would like to connect with a gentle man who is consciously working towards his evolution, is compassionate and kind,and who can also laugh and be silly, and love the simple things in life. |

How I spend my free time:
- I love music, especially singing chants. I have a beautiful garden in the redwoods and it is my little piece of heaven. I attend some concerts and kirtans, get together with friends, often for chanting. I enjoy time in natural settings, going new places, etc. I like cooking healthy, organic vegetarian meals.
