When, where and how did you come into contact with the Hare Krishna Movement?
I was searching for answers to my questions and inner peace. I tried many religious paths. I worshipped lord Shiva and I think he is the one who introduced me to Krishna as Shiva is the greatest Vaishnav.. i read about Shri krishna and shri Chaitanya mahaprabhu and since then I m following Vaishnav principles in my life. It gives me immense peace. And I m chanting hare Krishna maha mantra, eating satvik food since then. It completely changed my life.
Name the nearest or most frequently Visited ISKCON temple/ centre and name few of the devotees whom you know.
Iskcon Mayapur is nearest of all the centres but it's 8 to 9hrs away from my home.So I haven't got the privilege to visit iskcon so far. I came accross gaudiya vaishnavism by reading about Chaitanya mahaprabhu ,I wish to know more and be a part of iskcon. I watched videos of Sri amogh Lila Prabhuji and Amarendra prabhuji and really want to be a part of Iskcon since then.
