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

As a young devotee of Krishna within ISKCON, I, Maanyata Mantri am deeply committed to my spiritual journey while balancing my academic responsibilities as a class 12 science student. Despite the pressures and challenges I face, I strive to live a life aligned with the principles of Krishna consciousness, drawing inspiration and guidance from my Gurumaharaj. I regularly engage in devotional practices such as chanting the Hare Krishna mantra, reading scriptures like the Bhagavad Gita, and participating in temple programs. My dedication extends to service (seva) within the temple, where I actively volunteer and contribute to various activities. In addition to my spiritual endeavors, I am passionate about sharing my insights and experiences through writing. I am eager to contribute articles on Krishna consciousness to platforms like Back to Godhead magazine, ISKCON websites. Through my writings, I hope to inspire others and deepen my own understanding of Krishna's teachings.
