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

In 1999. Some devotees visited my place when on of family member was sick. After a year I attended a Bhagavat program for three days. After hearing the lectures for three days, it completly changed my life. All my doubts and question I had was answered. Who am I? What is my relatioship with Krsna? etc. Since I have joined, I feel very much peaceful and pray to their Lordhip Sri Radha Goloka Bihari, Gauranga Mahaprabhu and Srila Gurudeva to engage me in their service.

I work as a Senior Techinician at Vodafone Fiji Limited. After my initiation, I have been serving at Sri Radha Goloka Bihari Temple for the past four and half years. I was assisting in the bookshop and few months later, I joined the Pujari department. I work in the day time and do morning and afternoon service in the temple doing aarti and dressing. I serve in the temple for four days and spent three days with my family at home as they are favourable to the movement and practice at home.
