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

I like Krishna Bhagawan right from the beginning. Fortunately, by his mercy, I met a devotee named Mahamantra Das at Washington DC. Later upon understanding ISKCON philosophy, I am very much inspired and realized how important is the disciplic succession in worshipping the lord. I've also read -BG, Science of Self Realization, Nectar of Devotion, Nectar of Instruction, Higher Taste, Journey Within, Teachings of Lord Kapila etc.

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

ISKCON of Dallas, USA. (Shri Radha Kalachadji's Temple). Devotee names I know here: Srinivas Acharya Das, Ras Gopal Das, Sarvayagna Govinda Das, Yogananda Das, Dibya Ranjan (I am also part of Frisco Bhakthi Vruksha)

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

I am an aspiring Vaishnava who likes to seek the association of devotees, reading Prabhupada books, doing temple service every sunday, attending BV's etc. I've recently graduated from my Masters from George Mason University, VA-USA and currently working in a startup firm in Dallas.

What are your expectations from this community?

Satsang and want to elevate myself even more in Krishna Consciousness.

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

I am open to any kind of service that is feasible for me. So far I am active in volunteering BVs and cooking for Sunday's Krishna Fest at ISKCON Dallas monthly once.
