    Daily number of rounds of Hare Krishna mahamantra.

    16


    When, where and how did you come into contact with the Hare Krishna Movement?

    1980's my home family  connected with iskcon


    Name the nearest or most frequently Visited ISKCON temple/ centre and name few of the devotees whom you know.

    i live in the bramachari ashram in Goa Shubha Vilas Prabhu


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

    I am a psychological trauma counsellor by profession. Since 2012 I've been living as a monk and practising the teachings of the Gita. To follow the Gita is soul science and thus i now feel more like a soul psychologist as Gita wisdom affords one the opportunity to understand the conditioned human nature, ones eternal constitution & by the mercy of God, His psychology - to some extent


    What are your expectations from this community?

    i have no expectations that way im never disappointed


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

    teach
