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

In 1980 in Delaware. My brother received some books from devotees and a temple was there at the time so I would go and soon joined.

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

ISKCON Potomac. Anuttama, the GBC for the temple. Uttamasloka and Caitanya-Nitai whom both cook for festivals put on by the temple.

I reside at the ISKCON Washington D.C. temple located in Potomac, Maryland. I do pujari service at the temple and seasonal Harinama. I also travel to festivals sometimes with the Festival of India and sell devotional clothing and sometimes perform kirtan at festivals with a keyboard.

What are your expectations from this community?

I like to hear lectures from swamis and senior devotees available on the iskcondesiretree website.

Some of the services described above and just to be steady in my devotional practices.
