I haven't made friends yet. I been to temple but I have not yet connected with anyone. I also wonder when is the appropriate time to obtain a guru and to become an initiate. I was asked at temple "Are you an initiate"? I did know what to say. I've been reading the Bhagavad-Gita As It Is. It looks like I need to read a lot more.

just be yourself, be honest, respectful and truthful...
if krishna wants you will be iniated in good time....
Krishna will make the connections happen in good time, currently think of it as he wants to hear from you so you build your relationship with him then watch and see how he arranges you too meet other devotees...

In this way friendship is very important!
