Please describe yourself so that other like minded devotees can find you.
I'm inquisitive, questioning, love peace and quite, love music of all sorts but it has to be good and attune to my spirit. I like to eat but am not overweight. :) I have four dogs. I love to read and sing. I love nature and I draw my spirituality from there. Well what can I say? Defining myself will take a lot more than just casual profiling as I am doing now.
What are your expectations from this community?
I would like the community to enlighten me regarding Krishna Consciousness, proper.
Describe any specific service you would love to offer to Lord Krishna & His devotees?
I would love to make people aware of this amazing vedic knowledge as it is. I would love to share this knowledge with all things living.

my humble obeisances Ernesto Prabhuji,

Your question is:
----------------
Hare Krishna, please accept my humble obeisances.
I have some questions which have been the cause of my doubt over the years as an aspiring Krishna devotee.
Why are we here in the material world? Was there a time before we were in the material world and was in union with God?
How did we ever fell down? Or were we here for all eternity without an initial karmic cause? If that is so what launch us to be here in the first place? It is said that the kingdom of God is infallible and if we were there and fell down doesn't that contradict its characterization? It is confusing and sometimes makes everything seem so meaningless.
Why the trouble to put us through where we are and all the ordeals if the goal is to reach the Godhead because the place we are in now is at odds against Godhead.
I am not trying to nail in any doubt in the minds of practicing devotees here. Some of you may even have an answer to my question for you ought to know much more than me who is new to Krishna Consciousness. I thought I have to clear my doubt if I want to continue unhindered, with my mind fixated on the Lotus Feet of Lord Krishna. But having a questioning mind is helpful since it becomes the means to unflinching conviction.
P.S. I need my answer accurate and precise.
Thank you and Hare Krishna.
