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

I would like to become a good preacher. At present I can do nice kirtan and help in the temple kitchen on Sundays. I am at present attending the Bhakthi Vriksha training programme at the temple and shall complete it in 2 Weeks time. As Kirtan is my forte I try to give it my best shot along with my family members. My wife plays on the harmonium and both my sons play on the khol. We make a nice team visiting anyone who calls us to do kirtan on week day evenings. My wife is actively involved in the Mathaji Programmes, My son is involved in Youth Preaching, and I am the only one currently left out of preaching as my work demands were more. Now I can take up to preaching. Please Bless Me that I can serve the devotees and preach well to the public about Krishna's Glories.

What are your expectations from this community?

Hoping to learn to be a better devotee.

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