Kardama Kapila

What's your name and how did you get into graffiti?
Er’Naste Nasimo or my spiritual name is Kardami Kapila Das. Is a long story but shortly true skateboarding. I started doing graffiti in 1995 in my birth town Targovishte in Bulgaria. 

How did you come to bhakti?

I got there through disappointment from relationships and friendships. After too crazy lifestyle of too much from everything I decided to escape for Canada and there I met one guy who introduced me to spirituality and little bit about Krishna consciousness. When I got back to Bulgaria I started to search more and found devotees who helped me in this journey.

How has bhakti impacted your life?

I'm constantly in a state of transformation. I love my life.

I was definitely on a path toward being a drug addict and lonely, frustrated pervert.

I became a monk for 4 years and got trained in the ways of devotional life. That is the source of who I am today and I have a wife and a child on the way. That was probably not going to happen if Krsna consciousness didn't impact my life the way it did.

What advice would you give to someone wanting to start practicing bhakti?

To be not fanatical but to explore himself carefully and better to take baby steps in the practice than jumping like a monkey and fall down from far distance. 

Cheers prabhu!

Thanks for keep doing this service bro 🙏
