  These essays are for the devotees of the Lord, for my spiritual master and His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami.  
  According to the Vedic tradition a word which does not glorify the Absolute Truth is like a place of pilgrimage for crows, but words that describe the glories of the unlimited Lord are praiseworthy, even though imperfectly composed. 
  I have to admit my struggles in this human form of life, but by the mercy of the Vaishnavas, Guru & Gauranga, I could taste a little nectar of spiritual life. For the pleasure of the parampara, I am writing my realisations, to please thee. 
  “By writing according to our realization we become more and more convinced and all doubts are destroyed.” 
  (Letter to Pusta Kṛṣṇa) 
  Over the last ten years writing about traveling to holy places and experiencing an inner revolution of the heart by associating with saintly persons, writing helped to shape and support this inner transformation. 
  “May Krishna bless you to improve more and more in writing the glories of our previous acaryas and the Lord. Be engaged in glorifying the parampara system and your life will be glorified automatically thousands of times.” (Letter to Acyutananda) 
  For the pleasure of my Guru I'd like to address difficult topics concerning the chanting of the Holy Name of the Lord, controlling the mind & senses, as well as spreading this matchless gift of Kṛṣṇa Consciousness, to help the coming generations to learn from mistakes and challenges.

  FORREST GUMP 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
    
  FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY ROBERT ZEMECKIS 
    
  CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
    
  ABOUT THE FILM 
  Forrest Gump is a heartwarming drama about a kind-hearted man from Alabama with a low IQ who inadvertently influences several major historical events in the 20th century. The film follows Forrest’s extraordinary life, from his childhood with a loving mother to his experiences as a college football star, soldier in Vietnam, ping-pong champion, and shrimp boat captain. The film explores themes of destiny, love, perseverance, and the unpredictability of life, while highlighting the impact of historical events. Told from Forrest’s unique perspective, it combines humor, drama, and emotional depth, reflecting the power of human resilience and simplicity. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “Tom Hanks was not paid for this film. Instead, he took percentage points, which ultimately netted him around $40 million.” 
    
  “The line, "My name is Forrest Gump. People call me Forrest Gump," was ad-libbed by Tom Hanks during filming. Director Robert Zemeckis liked it so much that he decided to keep it in.” 
    
  “With every transition of Forrest's age, one thing remains the same: in the first scene of each transition, he wears a blue plaid shirt.” 
    
  “Tom Hanks' younger brother, Jim Hanks, doubled for him during many of his numerous running sequences.” 
    
  “The necklace worn by Lieutenant Dan is a rosary with a Saint Christopher medal, inscribed "Protect Us In Combat." It was worn in Vietnam by Gary Sinise's brother-in-law, Jack Treese, in 1967-68.”
