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

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

I used to live a hedonistic lifestyle. I had one foot in devotional life and the other in a world of drugs and sex. When I finally decided to close the door on my addictive behaviours, Sri-Sri Radha-Krsna were waiting to guide me and give me strength. Their Lordships breathed new life into this neophyte.

What are your expectations from this community?

Increased enlightenment and knowledge

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

Whenever I visit a temple I like to do some cleaning or help in the kitchen. In my daily life I try to serve Krsna by guiding others towards the light
