Daily number of rounds of Hare Krishna mahamantra.
Around four to six.
When, where and how did you come into contact with the Hare Krishna Movement?
I studied Gaudiya Vaishnavism from the time I was eight, when I saw a picture of Radharani and thought that She and Krishna were beautiful.
Name the nearest or most frequently Visited ISKCON temple/ centre and name few of the devotees whom you know.
I don't know any personally, unfortunately. There are no ISKCON temples in my area.
Please describe yourself so that other like minded devotees can find you.
I have battled anorexia for the past four years. I don't even know if Radharani and Krishna Ji want me to fast on Ekadashi at this point? I eat anywhere from 250-600 calories per day. I just don't know what to do and need help and advice. I'm also a convert from Catholicism.
What are your expectations from this community?
I hope they can help me with my anorexia.
Describe any specific service you would love to offer to Lord Krishna & His devotees?
I want to eat to please them. Eating is like fasting for me: it hurts and I dislike it, yet I know it's what God wants from me. I'm so scared to gain weight. It's so vain, and Radhika and Krishna hate vanity. I want to be exorcised of this evil demon, wrongly labelled as a disease.
