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

I've been living in the country, farming a large garden, doing a lot of outreach, home programs, I have a severe music addiction so I'm constantly playing guitar, flute, banjo, mandolin as well as the usual harmonium, mrdanga and kartals in kirtans.

What are your expectations from this community?

I expect to meet devotees, create teams for preaching, kirtan and outreach as well as have meaningful discussions based upon the books Srila Prabhupada gave us.

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

Record beautiful bhajans with talented devotees. Have deep discussions on Srimad Bhagavatam and Gita.
