When, where and how did you come into contact with the Hare Krishna Movement?
Perhaps in 2004 in Mumbai. I do not remember exactly how I came into contact with this Movement. Perhaps I saw devotees selling ISKCON Gita at railway stations and purchased a copy of the Gita ( one each of Odiya and English). Studied it. Then to seek answer to my queries, I contacted Shri Gokuleswar Das ji of ISKCON and other devotees.
Name the nearest or most frequently Visited ISKCON temple/ centre and name few of the devotees whom you know.
Kharghar Temple, Navi Mumbai. Shri Gokuleswar Das Ji, Shri Shyam Bihari ji, Shri Akrur Das ji.
Please describe yourself so that other like minded devotees can find you.
I am an honest and spiritually minded soul. After reading the Bhagavad Gita and the Srimad Bhagavatam ( not fully), and hearing Narada Bhakti Darshan, I believe that our goal is to realize and attain Lord Krishna and the means is Bhakti.
What are your expectations from this community?
To get clear and specific answers to my queries related to Lord Krishna, Bhakti and other related matters. And also help in finding my Guru - a Bonafide Spiritual Master as stated in the Gita.
Describe any specific service you would love to offer to Lord Krishna & His devotees?
I would like to know a list of services that are required to be offered. I will choose from among the said list. I am at the service of Lord Krishna, my Creator, no doubt. I am available.
