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

I was introduced to Hare Krishna in the year of 2007. I was in the 2nd year at IIT Kanpur and luckily, in fact forcefully :), visited the ISKCON base in the campus with one of my friend. Firstly I liked the Prasadam :), but then gradually I started liking Kirtans, Lectures on Bhagwad Gita and the devotees. That's how I came to know about Hare Krishna :)

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

ISKCON Sydney, ISKCON Vrindavan, ISKCON Bhubaneswar, ISKCON Kanpur and ISKCON Singapore.

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

I m currently employed in Indian Oil working as a Project Engineer. I got sure on the very first day of my job that without any trancedental aim (to render my service to the Lord), life is just useless....I visit ISKCON Bhubaneswar quite regularly, try to have association with the devotees hoping that one day I would be able to serve the Lord of my heart-Sri Sri Radha and Krishna :)

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

I would like to serve the devotees involved in any Gurukul or teaching kind of thing. It would be aDe great pleasure if I can do that... :)
