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

At Shikohabad, Uttar Pradesh when I came to visit the Bhakti Vedanta Library and there being influenced by Shri Heamant Prabhu.

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

Shri Heamant Prabhu, incharge of Bhakti Vedanta Library at Shikohabad, Uttar Pradesh.

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

I'm a student of B.Sc. Agriculture at Shikohabad studying in A.K.P.G. College. I was born in Nabadwip Dham, the city beside Sri Dham Mayapur.So from my childhood I had so much interest in God and Mythology because of my city and my family.And finally when I have got the contact with Shri Heamant Prabhu, I was so much influenced by the chanting of Hare Krishna Mahamantra and ISKCON movement.I repeatedly watch the lectures of H.G. Radhanath Swami, Jaypataka Swami, Indradyumna Swami and became a huge fan of H.H. Gaur Gopal Das Prabhu and Shri Amogh Lila Prabhu. So that's why I've decided to become a devotee... Hare Krishna.

What are your expectations from this community?

ISKCON is a like a hospital where the ill peoples from society are treated by god's grace.

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

I play tabla and guitar. So from Heamant Prabhu I've learned how to play Mridanga and various Bhagan-Kirtans.Now I'm reading some books about Srimad Bhagavad, Srila Prabhupada, Bramhachari classes and other Krishna Consciousness books. I aslo like Krishnaterian cooking with Heamant Prabhu for Lord Krishna.
