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

On the 23rd of July, in 2014 at a "spiritual" festival named SUN in Hungary as the Hare Krishnas were distributing prasadam over the 1-week festival.

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

ISKCON Budapest Address: III. Lehel Street 15-17(Csillaghedy), Budapest, Hungary – 1039 Prabhupada Jivana Das was one of my best friends when I was living in the ashrama. We used to distribute books together often. Mohana Das was my other book distributor mate, for a long time. Parama-Karuna Das is my actual leader at my workplace, which is a Govinda restaurant in Budapest at the moment. Guruttama Das was my main authority meanwhile I was living in the ashrama.

What are your expectations from this community?

I would like to find answers to my questions, which I do not dare to ask on Bhagavatam lectures or from my own devotee familiars because I am afraid of how would They look at me after I ask them. Also I would like to reach other devotees in different yatras, so I might find someone, who is/was in the same situation as I am now
