When, where and how did you come into contact with the Hare Krishna Movement?
In my college hostel (NIT Nagpur) in 1999 (During my final year B.Tech), HG Krsna Smaran Prabhu (Former IIT Delhi Professor) came to address us. That was my first exposure to Krisna Consciousness.
Name the nearest or most frequently Visited ISKCON temple/ centre and name few of the devotees whom you know.
ISKCON Sahibabad Ghaziabad
Please describe yourself so that other like minded devotees can find you.
I love devotees association especially attending ISKCON lectures. I am very inquisitive and always have queries to ask whenever I get suitable opportunity.
What are your expectations from this community?
As Srila Prabhupada said, 'books are basics', 'purity is force' and 'Preaching is essence' I want to read and listen in addition to my chanting so that the purity of heart could be achieved and I may add small bit in Srila Prabhpada's preaching movement.
Describe any specific service you would love to offer to Lord Krishna & His devotees?
I love preaching and currently I am doing it around my neighborhood by conducting Bhagvad-Geeta class as directed by nearby temple. I would love to serve more in this area.
