Krishna intuitively knew that one day he will play the role of Swami Vivekananda, and it came true in 1984 movie ‘Swami Vivekananda’, also directed by G V Iyer. He played the role of Kannappa – a steadfast devotee of Lord Shiva, in the 1997 tele serial ‘Om Namah Shivaya’; and has also acted in other major mythological shows of the time.

THE BEGINNING OF LIGHT HOUSE:
In the year 1993 when Krishna was hit with the first flash of light and he went into a profound meditation for eighteen months, his spontaneous prayer was:
“O Supreme! Do not give me a Spirituality which I cannot share with the rest of the world.”
That was the beginning of Light House. Then came the total realization in 1994 – where he saw the whole Universe as a flicker frame-to-frame and that he was THAT Infinite Light – solid, hard and real. After twenty-five years of living in Meditation, he finally built Light House with one clear intention:
WHOSEVER COMES HERE MUST GO BACK CONNECTED TO THE DIVINE ENERGY AND BE A LIGHT UNTO ONESELF.
So, Light House is dedicated to Self-Transformation where one comes and learns the Art of Complete Surrender and thereby spontaneously releasing the psychological patterns of fear, greed, anxiety, hurts and habits etc.
If you are looking for Tradition, Knowledge, Techniques, or any such takeaways, then Krishna definitely is the ‘wrong’ man. He has no illusion that through mere ‘Talk’, somebody can be Enlightened. He will simply show you how to surrender totally without any ‘how’ – ‘How’ means Technique. Each of you must directly meet him and find out what he means to you. In his words, he is a nobody and a nothing. Wisdom says “I am Nothing”, Love says “I am All”.
