My 40 years autobiography from 20thJune 1968 to 30th April 2008 is directly connected with development and history of N.M. College which covers more then 14,600 pages from my personal diary. On 5th April 1950,(Aries) I was born in a middle class Hindu Brahmin family in Vile parle,Mumbai (India) Upto 5th standard I took education from B.L.Ruia Hindi High School (Vile Parle east). Year 1968, after passing 11th standard (I was under 11+4 Scheme) Mr. Chotabhai Patel(Treasurer) asked my father to put me in N.M.College. My fees was paid by Chotubhai Patel (thanks to Chotukaka)whatever I am here is due to the grace and blessings of Principal Dr.U.R. Koli In 1970 I was employed as a worker in Shreeniwas cotton Mills Lower Parel (Mumbai) prof Deepak Bhatt & Prof B.A.Parmar requested Dr.U.R.Koli to appoint me as an accounts teacher and thus I started teaching in N.M.College. In the year 1999 and 2000 I went to London and Auckland (Newzealand) . From 2000 to 2002,it was not a good period in my life (After working for so many years I was treated just like a slave in N.M. College) From the year 2000, I joined ISKCON as an active member and then I realised that I should not run after material gain but I must get inner satisfaction. In the year 2004 I started my own website for 11th & 12th Commerce students. www.hscstudents.com, this was a great achivement in my life. In the most critical part of my life (year 1995-2005) one of my student came in my life just like a heavenly gift for me and help me a lot. Without her moral and financial support I would not have Survived. I will remain thankful to her till the end of my life. 16th November, 2005, I lost my best friend Dr.Deepak Bhatt(for 36 years we were together, then principal of Rutumbhra College) From 9th May 2008, I started my legal profession as Advocate of Mumbai High Court . to read more............

What are your expectations from this community?

Devotees may accept formal initiation into the chanting of the Holy Name vowing to abstain from intoxication, gambling, illicit sexual connections and the eating of meat, fish or eggs. ISKCON members believe indulgence in the aforementioned activities disrupts physical, mental and spiritual well-being, and increases anxiety and conflict in society. At the time of initiation devotees also agree to chant a prescribed number of mantras each day.
