POLAND, December 28, 2015 (Hindu Students Association International): Joya Patrycja Krishnadasi may not be your typical Westerner, and maybe that is why she was attracted to Hinduism. Born into a Catholic family in Poland, she became disillusioned with her faith and began a search for spirituality. She found herself studying at the local Mosque for many years and was ready to convert to Islam. However, by chance she began studying Indic studies at her university and became interested in Hinduism.
After Mother Kali sent Joya a dream she realized she had finally found her spiritual home in Hinduism. She now runs a blog called “Hindu From Poland” and a popular facebook page called “Hinduism For Everyone.” Joya met HSAI President Nisha Ramracha while Nisha was on an archaeology tour in Europe. Since their meeting, Joya has gathered her Hindu friends in Poland and has begun an HSAI chapter there. For the story of her journey see “source” above.
