“There is such a thing as objective reality governed by universal law. Unfortunately, in my thirteen year mandatory incarceration that was touted as “education” I was not informed about any of this. None of us were. And so when bad things happened to good people who appeared innocent, we were perplexed. Anyone who asked why was told “Nobody knows.”
I had to discover how the universe works on my own by reading English translations of ancient Sanskrit texts. The best of these were handed down in a line of teachers whose yogic discipline polished their knowledge into realization of the Absolute Truth. Part of my purpose here is to direct the reader to such sacred literature and introduce him or her to my spiritual master, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda, my infallible authority for real knowledge.”
