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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
This one was a big one. It wasn’t easy at all, and there were many times I thought I couldn’t do it. But somehow, I did! One funny challenge along the way? One of the Ekadashis fell on the second day of Christmas! What is Ekadashi? Ekadashi is a sacred fasting day in the Vedic […]
I’m excited to share that I recently crossed off goal number 17: I chanted 64 rounds of japa in one day! This was a significant achievement for me, especially since I usually chant 16 rounds each day. The idea of dedicating a whole day to chanting felt daunting, but I knew it was an important […]
I recently crossed off two more goals from my list: goals number 14 and 15! I committed to applying full Tilaka, which is a sacred mark used in Gaudiya Vaishnavism, for 7 days and then for 1 month. This practice is powerful and meaningful in my spiritual journey, and I’m thrilled to share my experience. […]
I’m super excited to share that I just crossed off a big goal from my list of 100 goals! Goal number 12 was to create a website for my guru, Mahatma Das, in Lithuanian. I finally did it! The website is up and running at www.mahatmadas.lt. Honestly, I had been putting this off for two […]
I recently crossed off the 11th goal from my list of 100 things I want to do. This goal was to dance in a Harinama, which is a special event where people chant the holy names and dance, often associated with the Hare Krishna movement. I had this wonderful experience in Heidelberg, Germany. It happened […]

A Spiritual Milestone: Meeting My Guru in Real Life (and goal #10 crossed out!)
For a long time, I have followed my guru’s teachings. I have learned so much from them through books, videos, and online classes. Their wisdom has guided me and helped me grow as a person. But I always dreamed of meeting them in person again, to thank them and to feel their presence directly, as […]
I’ve been writing poems since I was a child, but I never shared any of them online. It felt too personal and I feared to be what I really am online. This year, I made a goal to face my fears, and sharing my poetry was one of them. Choosing a poem to post was […]
