A Hare Krishna Monk's Path Through Suffering and Awakening | Enes Trumić

Enes Trumić grew up in Bosnia afraid of the dark, shy, and experiencing panic attacks no one had a name for. That suffering became the doorway. In this conversation he walks me through a spontaneous café moment where he watched his own life play like a movie, a year as a Hare Krishna monk chanting eight hours a day, and the morning it erupted into what he calls a "mental death": infinite, expanding nothingness, followed by a dark night of the soul that played out against the backdrop of the Bosnian war.
Enes spent fifteen years with a teacher he loved before walking away from the cult around him to discover:
We are animals first
Thinking is not the enemy
This physical life is the only place awareness can be practiced
No one holds the copyright on truth
