I gotta say I'm very disappointed in the last seven years of constantly trying to reach out to someone in this organization for help and I've gotten little to basically nothing. Every day for seven years I've spent at least two hours reading from your founder and it says that every book that you need guidance. Is there something about me that just people don't like and don't wanna help. I have tried reaching out to my local temple 35 times at least to see if anybody just had some time to talk. I went to the temple at least four or five times and the people that said that they were going to help with on about their business and basically ignored me the whole time I was there. So I'm officially over this decade search of trying to find like-minded people that I might help as well. I am in tears right now because I think the writings about Krishna are beautiful but I'm not gonna waste anymore time on this. When people reach out to you for help isn't that your duty? I know it's my duty to try to help everybody I can. But if I'm gonna be ignored like I have been for the last seven years goodbye to all of you, it's not like you really went out of your way to answer any of my questions. At least when you go to church they pretend to be nice to you. So as of today I have put all my statues decorations and books in a box I'm done!

Hare Krishna Prabhu ji,
Sorry for the dissappointment but may be that they were busy with some neophytes. Its like you are now into Krishna consciousness and reading books so you are on the path already so they are not bothered anymore because there is too many people out there to be reached to spread krishna consciousness.
PLEASE. don't go away from KRISHNA for petty reasons. Come here we are here a group of devotees who are trying to help out people who are really looking to find like minded association. We will all try to help you with your querries and don't think you are lonely. There are too many people who have to be covered and too less Krishna conscious people who can spread the word of Krishna.
You going away from Krishna wont solve the problem. You yourself should become a source to spread Krishna consicousness. You have got a great gift of Krishna Bhakti don't know go away from Krishna.
Anyways :-) no one can leave krishna its not so easy!!!
Only coming to Krishna Consciousness is tough once you are in you cannot leave Krishna thats the magic of our Little Krishna.
Where ever you may go Krishna will hunt you back to Him. No worries.
Pls. don't cry. Krishna is there for you. He will help you find devotee association soon.
You can ask your all doubts here we are here to help you any one of us is always available to help you guide you.
Don't worry you came to the right place. stick with us.
now smile :-)
Hare Krishna.
How can you leave little Krishna and go?? Is there any place where Krishna is not there tell me?
hare krishna prabhu .. please pray to the Lord for association of nice devotees ... i have faced somewhat similar situations, as per my experience, sincere prayers help ... Lord can send someone anytime to make you happy ... please keep chanting atleast one round
Thank you for responding and I was being very emotional. I know I've been studying on the subject for seven years, in those seven years I have reached out several times. I'm just really confused that in seven years I couldn't get 15 minutes of anyone's time, in that time frame?I tried for one whole day to give up learning about Krishna and that was all I could take. I guess I'll just go it alone and there's a bunch of devotees on YouTube. While, I read every day there are so many things that seem like contradictions that again I would just like 15 minutes of someone's time to a gain a faction more understanding. I'm not trying to be selfish I just find it bizarre that 15 mins seems like such a huge ask? I do apologize I shouldn't of voiced my frustration on a public forum and thank you so much for taking the time out to respond. I still have my books and chanting, so it not all bad!
Hare Krsna Prabhuji,
PAMHO.
I am so sorry to read your post. It can be difficult if you dont find someone who can spare 15 min of their time for you. I promise to. You could call up Hare Krsna TV helpline number and ask for me specifically or ask for any counsellor who is there. I am sure you can talk as much as you want and feel heard.
PLs keep up the good work of reading about Krsna everyday. Try to follow as much as possible - what has to be done is actually very simple - chant Hare Krsna Mahamantra on beads everyday 16 rounds of 108 beads. Follow 4 regulative principles - I am sure you have read about them.
Try and render some service at your local ISKCON Temple. It will fill your heart with satisfaction, joy, bliss that you have never experienced and you would feel enthused to continue on this path shown by Srila Prabhupada.
Haribol,
Your servant,
Radha Rasamayi DD
