Hare Krsna Kamlesh prabhuji,
PAMHO.
When we are new to anything, we have to start from the basics. In Krsna Consciousness, the basics are ABCD - Association of Devotees, reading Books, Chanting (ideally 16 rounds of mahamantra everyday) and Diet (eating only Krsna prasadam everyday). You dont have to start with 16 rounds - my suggestion is to start with 4 rounds and increase gradually, as per convenience and interest. One should enjoy one's journey towards Krsna COnsciousness, and it should not be a burden. So the best way to easily accept the process is association of devotees. Please get into a congregation whereever you are and try to spend the maximum time you can with them.
It is your desire to establish a relationship with Krsna that is pleasing to the lord. To the extent of your sincerity and desire, He will provide you the resources so taht your journey back to Him is smooth, fast and very joyful.
My prayers prabhuji.
Haribol,

Hare Krsna,
My obeisances to all devotees, guru and Gauranga.
Welcome to Krsna consciousness prabhu. I pray for krsna to bless you with His mercy and guidance.
Its good to start with a clean slate. Srila Prabhupad (shiksha guru for all) has written many books ranging from books for beginners to advanced devotees. My advice is to first start reading his books. If I may suggest you to read Science of Self Realisation, its a great book and a perfect place to start your KC journey.

Attached is the pdf of the book.
Chant and be happy.
Srila Prabhupada ki jai..

Hare krishna,
Its better to Get a Hard copy of the Book & read it, that way youll read more. Also Get a Bead bag Ask how to chant with the bead bag in the local ISKCON temple , Theyll offer it to Prabhupad to get his blessings then you can start chanting ,
Visit the Local Iskcon Book store and buy 1 r 2 books of your choice smalls ones are better to start off along with science of self realization. start by chanting 1 round .increace Gradually. I wish you all the best in your Spiritual Journey
You could give a nice gift to Krishna.
Or read a book about Him.
Just think of Krishna and offer Him your respect and love.
Namaste
