Please describe yourself so that other like minded devotees can find you.
Tamal Krishna Goswami wanted me to move into the Hong Kong temple in 1981 but I didn't feel it was time for me to do so, nevertheless he has remained very dear to me ever since. I should also have been initiated by him in 1982, but unfortunately didn't do so as I was not 100% sure that I could purely follow the principles at that time. Eventually, I was initiated by Kesava Bharati Maharaja in Mayapur in February 2014. I then drifted away. I have tried to resume my connections several times but for various reasons failed. I was initiated on 16 February 2014 by HH Kesava Bharati Maharaja in Mayapur. My other interest is art.
What are your expectations from this community?
I am so keen to devote the rest of my life in service of Krishna but having had a number of experiences in the past which somehow put me off, I am very keen to make some strong associations. I have had some sort of involvement for quite some years (30 plus!) and yet my knowledge is so low and I hope to be able to boost this and my associations in this community.
Describe any specific service you would love to offer to Lord Krishna & His devotees?
I think the best of my limited abilities are in writing and painting and I very much hope that I will be able to use these in Krsna's service, and in the service of other devotees. I would be very happy to help proof-read and/or edit other's written work too.
