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

2001 Maha Kumbha Mela, by touching Lokanatha Goswami's feet and was eating prasadam for 12 years earlier.

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

Anirudha P, Bhakta P & Bhakti dd, Guna Mani Nitai dd and a bunch of devotees over the last 9 years Given that I live in Eltham and attend satsangas in Mt Eliza every other Saturday, my opportunities for getting to the temple are limited these days. I have been given the order to run satsangas where i live and am currently looking for a suitable venue

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

Come from jnana to bhakti and back into jnana as well... so one might say...mixed... which is why i am well placed in my activities of inter-faith. I stradle 2 worlds and that is just what it is. Krishna katha is my life source and hunger for the association of devotees who wish to relish smaranam, sevanam, kirtanam also :-D

What are your expectations from this community?

sanga, katha and real friendship.... BIG expectations :-)

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

I have a small business distributing products and am wishing to professionally engage devotees in helping manifest their dreams. I have been part of the development of a Vedic computer game (based on Dwapara yuga parameters) and would love to see this preaching tool get out there with the mercy of the Vaisnavas. Funds from this game are intended to flow into a fund to reward and encourage devotees to be entrepreneurially successful. As for service to Krishna.... I only pray that one of His real servants will accept whatever help i can offer, as i have no qualification to serve Him directly.
