Please describe yourself so that other like minded devotees can find you.
I am old but new. I am working hard to read Prabhipada's books, learn the scriptures, watch as much as I can of lectures and realisations, and associate with devotees. I offer my services for kirtan and feel it is a way of giving service and joining in at book distribution etc with my limited knowledge and ability. I can be present and watch and learn while chanting the Lord's holy name. I lived on a remote island for years with no exposure or connection to ISKON so now I am not working, my family have grown, my husband has passed on, I have a lot of catching up to do!
What are your expectations from this community?
Through association with more devotees I can continue to learn and grow in Krsna Consciousness and be more able to offer service and grow closer to the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
Describe any specific service you would love to offer to Lord Krishna & His devotees?
Hopefully something will be revealed to me at the right time
