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

I first came into contact with the Hare Krishna Movement through reading Srila Prabhupada’s books and later by associating with devotees and listening to kirtans and lectures online. Over time, chanting the Hare Krishna mahamantra and studying Bhagavad-gita deepened my connection with the movement.

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

The nearest ISKCON temple I associate with is ISKCON London (Soho / Bhaktivedanta Manor). I have had association with local devotees and temple members through programs, kirtans, and online interactions, although I am still gradually building personal relationships.

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

I am a sincere spiritual seeker interested in developing Krishna consciousness through chanting, reading Srila Prabhupada’s books, and associating with devotees. I value humility, learning, and steady devotional progress.

What are your expectations from this community?

I hope to gain good association, inspiration for devotional service, guidance in spiritual life, and opportunities to serve and learn from devotees.

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

I would like to offer services according to my abilities, such as helping with online devotional activities, sharing Krishna conscious content, assisting in outreach, or any service assigned by senior devotees that helps spread Srila Prabhupada’s mission.
