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

Hare Krishna Prabhuji. I am jovial and simple guy who want to love and respect all the disciples of our Srila Prabhupad and want to be with all devotees and serve all without any partiality. Want to understand the scripture scrutinizingly and preach to everyone especially for youths. But, I am lagging in reading Srila Prabhupad's book. So, I need a devotee who can make me study. Of-course my shiksha guru is there, but he is not forcing me to do the things. Since my shiksha guru is very friendly to me, I am not taking few things seriously. But he(my shiksha guru) used to say, keep Prabhupad in Center. you will get Success. As of now I am working in a Company. May be in another 1 or Max 2 years planning to leave the Job and planned to join temple and server Srila Prabhupada Movement. And Mainly, I want to Cry just by Singing the Kirtan's of our previous Acharyas. because I donno, I love acharyas. Hare Krishna_/\_
