Daily number of rounds of Hare Krishna mahamantra.

I try my hardest, to do 5 rounds in my morning routine before work. An then another, 5 in the afternoon. After work

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

I was born in to a Krishna conscious family. My mother was a late disciple of A.C Baktivedanta srila prabupada maha Prabhu an so was my father my you're years we're spent in the Miami Temple and then I think when I was five we moved to Alachua Florida close to New Rahman rati an the Gainesville Florida preaching center

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

The closest iskcon Krishna devotee Temple near me is in Hillsboro which is a part of the Portland Oregon Metro I'm in the southeast area so it's pretty close but I've been there a few times and I don't feel like I'm welcome I'm well versed in the Vedas rigVeda, samaveda, yajurveda, and the supplementary texts the puranas and upanishads for the common devotee of the householder life. and And I've read bhagavad gita ,Mahabharata an srimad bhagavatam 1-10 cantos prabupada's books only

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

shravanam keertanam vishno: smaranam paadasevanam archanam vandanam daasyam sakhyam aatmanivedanam iti pumsaarpita vishnau bhakthi: cheth nava lakshanaa

What are your expectations from this community?

To be connected with devotees because when I was younger we had to move away from the devotees and that's the worst thing that could ever happen to a devotee is to move away from other devotees and be disconnected from them and not be able to serve the vishnava devotees of Krishna in hopes to someday achieve a higher level of devotion and worship only to create a more personal intimate relationship with shree Krishna And if I'm lucky at causeless Mercy of Lord Krishna he will help me better understand the ancient Vedic scriptures and Thus further my study of the ancient brahminical cultures an practices

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

Well my material credentials are botany agriculture forest floor topology soil compound management so I would like to serve my time in the garden growing flowers for krishna's garlands and serve his devotees by helping Cook in the kitchens and clean that used to be my job in the preaching center and out at the farm new Rahman rati well... anyway my hopefully new devotees friends. Hare Krishna!! Dandwat Pranam.🙏 Please accept my humble obeisances. All Glories to A.C baktivedanta Srila Prabhupada & sri chaitanya Maha Prabhu kie jie
