Please describe yourself so that other like minded devotees can find you.

I have been involved in Hinduism since 1971. First, I was an active participant in Vedanta for years. Then, in 2003 I began actively going to Self-Realization Fellowship but also attending Hare Krishna Temple in San Diego. In 2012, I devoted myself totally to Hare Krishna movement in Los Angeles. I have attended Sadhu Sangha once in Boone, 24-hour Kirtan once in New Vrindavan West Virginia. In 2016 I spent a month at the Hare Krishna Temple in New Delhi.

What are your expectations from this community?

develop a network of Hare Krishna devotee friends and hopefully find other devotees who want to move to Mayapur where I would like to retire and devote myself to the new Temple.

Describe any specific service you would love to offer to Lord Krishna & His devotees?

making garlands for Lord Krishna and their Lordships in the Temple
