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

Radha Krishna are at the center of my life, but I occasionally do fall down from their lordships due to Maya, which I'm trying hard to avoid. I currently am trying my best to follow the four principles, but not without difficulty. I am very focused on self cultivation, constantly trying to balance my mind, body and soul. I love to read, write, associate with like-minded spiritual people, preach/teach, and learn from others.

What are your expectations from this community?

To learn more about Krishna Consciousness, to cultivate my spirit and knowledge, and to meet/connect with spiritual friends.

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

To be able to help others with advice, compassion, and be the servant of the servant.
