"I was never on the same bus as Dhruva, so I didn't know him very well. But I admired him. Like you said, he was very enthusiastic.
I'm going to read "Jaya Jaganatha!". Any other books you'd recommend? When one worships Lord Jaganatha is it required…"

"We are all eternal servants of God. Somehow or other we have fallen into this miserable material world. We must learn to appreciate and respect all God's creatures, whether they are materially above or below us. Women should always be respected and…"
"I wonder if that is the same Dhruva that I remember. I remember a Dhruva, who was a book distributor and chanted japa very loudly. He had a heavy beard. Was that him? Anyway, I'm quite excited about Lord Jaganatha. I already ordered the book. Got to…"
"Hare Krsna! All of you please accept my humble obeisances. This question of falling from the spiritual world has always been difficult for me to understand. In my mind this Krsna consciousness philosophy taught to us by Srila Prabhupada sounds…"
"Hari bol Sarvopama Prabhu,
Thank you very much for your recent reply. I wasn't notified that anyone had replied until this morning, when Ash replied. So, thank you too, Ash.
Your comments have helped and inspired me, Sarvo. Now, I want to learn as…"

"Today I was reading the Srimad Bhagavatam, 4th canto. Narada was instructing Dhruva Maharaja how to worship the Supreme Personality of Godhead. In the purport of 4.8.54 Srila Prabhupada says, "When we make a form of the Lord - whether of wood or…"
"Hari bol, Sarvopama Prabhu, How are you? I didn't get a notice that you had replied. I am just now seeing your reply. Those are beautiful verses. I'm not familiar with the "Vijnapti pancaka." Please tell me something about it. I'm reading "Jaya…"
"You're very kind. Thank you for those illuminating words. The Sri Sri Siksastaka prayers are among my favorites. I especially like the last one, where Lord Caitanya compares difficulties to "being handled roughly by Krsna's embrace."…"
"Hare Krsna. Thank you for your reply. Yes, it was my understanding that a pure devotee has to request Krsna to appear in the form of the deity to accept our service. Not that anyone can create a sculpture in the likeness of Krsna and begin worship.…"
"It's so important to have good association. In India the majority is naturally Krsna conscious. Here, people pretend there is no God in control, just the endless pursuit of sense gratification. One colossal insane assylum, and I'm one of the…"
"Yes, I like that analogy. I'm like the worm in stool who thinks he's enjoying life. I think that lack of good association is a big part of my problem. But you nice Vaisnavas are helping me here online so I am hopeful. Thank you for your nectarian…"
"Hari bol Sarvopama Prabhu!
Thanks for replying. I need help in understanding deity worship. I've always been too worried about committing offenses to bring Krsna's deity form into my home. If I'm not strictly following all the scriptural rules…"

"Hare Krsna. Thank you for your reply. I appreciate your comments, especially about seeing the Deity as master of the home.
Here in the USA many people say that the devotees are worshipping objects made of wood or stone and so are sentimental, not…"

I really enjoyed reading about the glories of the maha mantra. Thank you very much."

"The "8 rules for better japa" was very inspiring. Thank you. Hari bol!"
"I have been wondering for many years what happened to hari nama sankirtan. Excluding Ratha-yatra festivals, I haven't seen devotees chanting in public since the late 80s in Guatemala. Well, maybe once or twice in St. Louis. I agree, chanting in…"

Daily number of rounds of Hare Krishna mahamantra.
After many years of sporatic chanting-sometimes 1 round, other times 6 or 8, I'm now chanting a minimum of 6 rounds per day. I won't be satisfied until I get back to 16.
When, where and how did you come into contact with the Hare Krishna Movement?
1974. First, I purchased The Bhagavad-gita As It Is. After reading it, I wrote to L.A. for more info. and was given the address of the temple in Evanston,IL. Began visiting the temple on Sundays and after a few months was ready to join.
Please describe yourself so that other like minded devotees can find you.
I operate a simple lawn care business. I have 2 teenage sons and an elderly mother that I take care of. I left ISKCON shortly after Srila Prabhupada's disappearance, but continue to read and chant and pray that Krsna gives me another chance to engage in devotional service.
What are your expectations from this community?
To engage in service to Krsna's devotees.
Describe any specific service you would love to offer to Lord Krishna & His devotees?
