I attended a hare krishna program conducted by Nand Kishor Das Prabhuji. at that time I was about 5years old.

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

I go to Shri Shri Radha Vrindavan Chandra Temple and also to the Hare Krishna centre in Labasa town. Devotees whom I know: - Vrindavan Chandra Das - Rupa vilas Das - Vishwanat Das - Rasbhihari Das and many more

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

Hare Krishna, I am in ISCKON for past 20 years,however I am still not initiated because my first aspiring guru was HH.Tamal Krishna Goswami Maharaj but he left his material body before I could take initiation. My current aspiring guru is HH Vedviyas Priya Maharaj from whom I am planning to take the initiation soon upon his approval.

What are your expectations from this community?

I hope to get even more engaged in "Sadhu Sanga".

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

I try to help the devotees here with there health related needs since I am a Medical Imaging Technologist at a Govt. hospital. Moreover I try to do whatever service I can get in the temple, from cooking to cleaning .
