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

Feb.'10 I just decided to check it out. I had been in the new age movement for years .Doing psychic development classes ,past life regression , even dabbled in santaria .Meditated Zen style. Nishereren style chanter for years . Done a bunch of impersonal voidist seeking but always had the blue man hangin around my peripheral. Made the time to go and now its my whole life ... kind of.What i mean is I want to purify by chanting and devote my whole life to serving KRISHNA

Name the nearest or most frequently Visited ISKCON temple/ centre and name few of the devotees whom you know.

San Diego is the only non- home , ISKCON temple I have worshipped at. Some devotes-Nityananda-rama Dasa-Mahat Tattva Dasa-Jason Rotman-Goura Perey-Prema Bhakti Cornia-Sergio Canela-Yudhisthira Dasa I know a ton more.

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

I am vegan. Starting a prasad distribution buisinues in a month or so. I love kirtan . The kirtan here in san diego is at times like a spiritual mosh pit. Of course Aindra is the top . And the Guru Kuli's ... man they are the best .Amala Purana is my favorite sankirtan leader. Anyway I love Kirtan ,I love Krishna , our movement is the absolute truth. Learning mirdanga, play kirtan at a yoga studio once a month with Jason and Pia Rotman . Host spiritual support groups at my house twice a month. I am definately one of Prabpuphads undercover agents . Bhakti Thirta Swami (hope i spelled these names correctly) is awesome. Desire tree is awesome. Would love to start a kirtanan group using moog, a loop station organ fuzz pedal as will as tandor and classical instruments......maybe there is something allready like that and i dont have to .. anyway. Hari Bol!

What are your expectations from this community?

association with saintly persons through video and audio. I don't expect much else , but Krishna may use this site to network any arrangement..?

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

If a bonafide devote became my friend they could always have a place to stay for a day or two and a ride to the temple-when visiting san diego. We worship Gournitai at our home and kirtan lots. I often cheer people up, and encourage .
