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

Although I appear to humble, I am full of pride and false ego. Want to progress spiritually but unable to devote much time due to practical difficulties like work pressure and lack of inspiration

What are your expectations from this community?

To help me to progress spiritually and get nurtured so that i can start preaching effectively

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

I am part of Gaurangadesh (Damodardesh) and offer my self to the services allocated by our senior devotees in the yatra. My wife when she was here in dubai, used to prepare prasadam for our congregation and after she left for india, i am also continuing to prepare prasadam for our weekly program as allocated by the prasadam committee. I would like to develop my abilities so that i can participate in book distribution program and become a good preacher. Basically, i want to share the benefits i have received from Iskcon to others who are ignorant as i was.
