When, where and how did you come into contact with the Hare Krishna Movement?
I got to know about iskcon on the Web when someone was making comparison of sri ramakrishna Misson and iskcon and I then researched about iskcon and since then I developed love of iskcon and I have visited two ashrams in Nigeria, the one in kaduna and lagos and I have seen devotees and I feel more eager to devote my time for this movement
Name the nearest or most frequently Visited ISKCON temple/ centre and name few of the devotees whom you know.
The ashram in kaduna and the ashram in lagos and a devotee I know in the ashram in lagos is Ramadas and he has been keeping me posted with the teachings and has been guiding me through so far and I feel happy to have him during this stage of my devotional service. He thought me how to chant and gave me my chanting tulsi beads and plenty of iskcon books. He also made me take prasadam which I enjoyed
Please describe yourself so that other like minded devotees can find you.
I'm an African and I have been searching to know God since I got baptised as a christian but this my search for God took me through a long journey of many years until I came across iskcon that has guaranteed me that through chanting that I will realize and be brought back to the Godhead and I am just getting started with my devotional service
What are your expectations from this community?
Since I'm new to iskcon, I want to use this community to learn about other people's progress and work towards them
Describe any specific service you would love to offer to Lord Krishna & His devotees?
Any service my master orders me to do I will donit without hesitation
