I am glad to discover this forum, and to be a new member! My name is ShivaFan, and who knows - perhaps some old friends of mine are members as well. By way of introduction, I am married, and live a good life and have a daughter, and enjoy discussion and think of the many insightful revelations, discoveries and great joy I have been given from the words of Hindu friends, those who are wise and special, and from those who pretend nothing but live their honest life - be it a Punjabi friend Devraj (are you still out there, having returned to India?) to fellow Americans who love India, Hinduism, Buddhism, Jain or Sadarji or Christian or Jew or anyone seeking Dharma and duty. So many names I have had the opportunity to know, and teachers, and places by fate I have had the opportunity to visit. But mostly there is India, she lives in my heart since I was so young. Even at 8 I wanted to go. I still remember walking down the ramp from the plane the first time to India so long ago. I am getting old now - and like I tell my wife and relatives, when I die put my ashes in the Ganga at Manikarnika where the Earring Fell and Jai Ram, let me hear that something called the Taraka mantra, and my best friend and beloved angel is Hanuman my good and watchful presence. And Haribol spirit soul.
