From Curiosity to Devotion
My journey from a curious programmer to a devoted servant. How Krishna consciousness transformed not just my code, but my entire purpose in life. This is the story of Shyam Charan Das.

My Story
I was always curious, always searching. From childhood, I wanted to build things, break them, understand how they worked. That journey led me to programming, where I found the freedom to create digital worlds from nothing but logic and imagination.
But something was missing. Despite mastering web technologies, diving deep into Rust and Linux, and building systems that worked—there was an emptiness. I was creating, but for what purpose?
Everything changed when I heard about Shrila Prabhupada and started reading his books. My heart changed. I realized that whatever I have—my skills, my knowledge, my ability to create—is not mine. It is the causeless mercy of Krishna.
Now, my purpose is simple: to serve and to make Him happy in whatever way I can. Today, I am humbly serving ISKCON Mayapur through my work. Whether it's developing web applications, optimizing systems, or managing projects, I do it as an offering. The rest is in His hands.
