Birthday:

Name / Initiated name
Pradyumna Das
Daily number of rounds of Hare Krishna mahamantra.
not sure
When, where and how did you come into contact with the Hare Krishna Movement?
Bloomsbury temple 1967/8? 59th st NY NY 1975, moved in in oct 1977 initiated Monticello NY 1979?
Name the nearest or most frequently Visited ISKCON temple/ centre and name few of the devotees whom you know.
SOHO ST, I VISIT OCCASIONALLY, I DO NOT KNOW ANY DEVOTEES.
Please describe yourself so that other like minded devotees can find you.
I am 65 this year, I left the Detroit temple in late 1986 (due to being urged to undergo RE-Initiation)and returned to UK late 1987. I read my Srila Prabhupada's Gita morning and evening and listen to HH Rompada Goswami lecture most days. I do some gardening and am avoided by most people as I will insist on telling them that they are not their bodies and that their persuit of enjoyment is futile and unsatisfiying. (Crazy old bloke). I transcribe the Gita, slokas and translations at least once each year, I should be able to recite it by now but can't.
What are your expectations from this community?
I do not have any expectations, it is an unknown commodity, perhaps, one day I could be inspired to surrender to a temple again!
Describe any specific service you would love to offer to Lord Krishna & His devotees?
in the past I have dug holes, I have built, I have collected Laksmi, i have been pujari, I have cooked, and I have betrayed my vows. just to be able to make a small offering, a flower, leaf fruit or water as I do each day and know it is acceptable.

Dear Pradyumna Prabhu.
Sorry if it too bald to say.I have no desire to disrespect ar even slightly doubt the value of any great or small devotees did in service to Krishna and Srila Prabhupada.For the main purpose of this movement same as a Srimad Bhagavatam especially for the Age of Kali,and becides a spicial uniq mercy of the Lord Caitanya.Even if some may be biten to the ground,constitutionally nothing is changed,Krishna is ferever the only Lord and Master for all living entities unconditionally.
Would it be nice just really for the service to Srila Prabhupada and Krishna without any external considerations ,to look if the last Cantos of Srimad Bhagavatam are exactly like if Srila Prabhupada would approving them..
Sure if it still up to this for you.Or may be something is could be done up to this..
my hornest respect

Hare Krsna Pradyumna prabhu! "Those were the days", Yes? We were all trying, and thought we were 'sure' of who we were. But the system became threadbare, and was beginning to unravel. Still, we had to fixed so much, and now just see.. Prabhupada's vision is becoming manifest. I blinked my eyes, first it was 1986.. blink.. now it's 2015. We're still here, and better off for it! What a wonderful sight is today's ISKCON. Hare Krsna!!
Hare Krishna dandvats, Prabhuji. Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. I do hereby wish you all the best in Krishna consciousness, Gauranga, Radhe Radhe, Hari Bol! Hare Krishna.
