I recently completed another goal from my 100 goals list: Goal #30 — to donate to my local Krishna temple to help with their winter rent. I won’t share details, because I believe donations should remain humble and quiet. But I still want to mark this moment on my blog, because it meant something important […]

I recently completed Goal #29 from my 100 goals list: spending one full week with no internet. I made a few simple rules for myself. I allowed myself to work, because my job only requires a few specific apps and websites. But outside of work, there was no social media, no Google, no browsing, and […]
I crossed another goal from my list — jumping from a boat into the sea. This goal was also connected to my fear of deep water. When I was in Greece back in 2021, I went on a day cruise. I remember feeling jealous of the people who jumped off the boat to swim in […]
I recently crossed another goal from my “Fears I Would Like to Overcome” list — scuba diving. I learned how to swim only a few years ago, and even the thought of scuba diving used to scare me a lot. I had never even tried snorkeling before! But during my vacation in Greece, I saw […]

The Journey of Publishing Mahatma Das’ Book in Lithuanian (Goal #25 Achieved)
I finally did it. Goal number 25 on my list is officially complete: publishing another book in Lithuanian by Mahatma Das. It feels surreal, because for two years this project was just sitting on the shelf in my mind. I kept postponing it, finding reasons why “now” wasn’t the right time. But then something shifted. […]
Today I crossed out goal number 24 from my 100 goals list: see a raccoon in real life. It might sound simple, but in Europe it’s not that easy to spot a raccoon. Still, I really wanted to, because they are such cute and fascinating animals! I finally had the chance in Germany, in a […]
In March 2025 I had the opportunity to give a Śrīmad Bhāgavatam class in Klaipėda, at the Vaišnavų Kultūros Centras. Although it wasn’t my first time speaking publicly on spiritual topics, every time I do it, I feel the same nervousness rising within me. That’s why this moment felt important — not because it was […]
I finally did it—one full month without social media! And honestly? It felt amazing. This challenge wasn’t just about logging off. It was about stepping away from the constant noise, distractions, and mindless scrolling to focus on things that actually matter. Why I Took on This Challenge Social media can be a great tool, but […]
This was the biggest goal I’ve crossed out so far! And honestly? It was hard. Sticking to a daily habit for an entire year was way more challenging than I expected. I failed many times, had to restart from day one over and over again, but finally—after 365 days—I did it! Why I Took on […]
