When, where and how did you come into contact with the Hare Krishna Movement?
I had a very exciting introduction to Krishna Consciousness, which is bit longer so cant put in here. My first inspiration to be a part of Krishna Consciousness was through my friend Anant Krsna in the year 2001, when I was finishing my schooling. We used to attend weekly house program in front of our school. My educational achievements made me to dive more deeper into Krishna Consciousness philosophy (still learning to dive into d endless ocean). I am grateful to my friend for giving me an opportunity to get me connected to Hare Krishna movement.
Name the nearest or most frequently Visited ISKCON temple/ centre and name few of the devotees whom you know.
Radha Parthsarthi Temple, East of Kailash, New Delhi & Krishna Balram Temple, Vrindavan
Please describe yourself so that other like minded devotees can find you.
I am just trying to put my thoughts in place as it may inspire devotees somewhere around d globe. This Krishna Consciousness movement has become an integral part of my life and soul. After spending initial years in Krishna Consciousness, I realized that philosophical approach plays crucial role to apply the process with proper conception, understanding & spirit. I am bent with little open minded approach & carry on my life in the same spirit. Like to preach Krishna Consciousness whomsoever I meet & try to be an insignificant instrument to imbibe its rich values in other's lives, philosophical interactions with devotees, learning from devotees realizations & perceptions, playing mrdanga, participation in harinams & visiting Vrindavan are some jewels of my Krishna Consciousness life. Every day is a journey, experience & learning to grow further in spiritual life. Upliftment in spiritual life is dependent on the blessings of Vaishnavas, which in turn is dependent on our endeavors & I aspire to make endeavors so that I can make a little contribution to the service to Sri Guru & Gauranga.
What are your expectations from this community?
To get an opportunity to be connected to like minded devotees for purification & performance of Krishna Consciousness in a better spirit. To render any specific service as a service to Vaishnavas on this community.
Describe any specific service you would love to offer to Lord Krishna & His devotees?
My contribution would be successful if I can inspire the society and other devotees to be a part of this wonderful Hare Krishna movement. Thank you

Now, His Holiness Bhakti Vikasa Swami Maharaj went to goa, udupi and other south india places for preaching after long stay in baroda Iskcon.
The question may be raised that since the Lord is supposed to be worshiped
by great demigods like Lord Brahma, Lord Siva and others, how can an
ordinary human being on this planet serve Him? This is clearly explained by
Prthu Maharaja by the use of the word yathadhikara, “according to one’s
ability.” If one sincerely executes his occupational duty, that will be
sufficient. One does not need to become like Lord Brahma, Lord Siva, Indra,
Lord Caitanya or Ramanujacarya, whose capabilities are certainly far above
ours. Even a sudra, who is in the lowest stage of life according to the
material qualities, can achieve the same success. Anyone can become
successful in devotional service provided he displays no duplicity. It is
explained here that one must be very frank and open-minded (amayinah). To be
situated in a lower status of life is not a disqualification for success in
devotional service. The only qualification is that whether one is a
brahmana, ksatriya, vaisya or sudra, he must be open, frank and free from
reservations. Then, by performing his particular occupational duty under the
guidance of a proper spiritual master, he can achieve the highest success in
life. As confirmed by the Lord Himself, striyo vaisyas tatha sudras te ‘pi
yanti param gatim (Bg. 9.32). It does not matter what one is, whether a
brahmana, ksatriya, vaisya, sudra or a degraded woman. If one engages
himself seriously in devotional service, working with body, mind and
intelligence, he is sure to be successful in going back home, back to
Godhead.
