Please describe yourself so that other like minded devotees can find you.
I am 36yrs old single devotee. I do not know exactly when I came into Iskcon. Whilst I was in school I picked up my first Hare Krishna book, The Higher Taste.This changed my lifestyle and I took to becoming a vegetarian. I was for a year but for peer pressure ate again for a few months and then finally stopped in my matric year. Buy this time I wanted to be a devotee and join the temple but my family stopped me. I am the only devotee in the family. I continued to be a vegetarian and would go to the temple only for certain functions and I found it difficult to travel as the temple was not in my area. My dad would drop me off for the Sunday afternoon aarthi and as soon that was over I would leave. By this time I meet my boyfriend and he was not to keen on me trying to be a devotee but this did not stop me. I made my first beads out of buttons and starting chanting one round a day and this increased. My life took a turn for the bad and then I went oversees but still continued to chant and go to the temple but did not take this very seriously.
Eventully I came back to SA and moved to Johannesburg. I am now chanting 16 rounds for the last few years. I do service at the temple and aspiring to be a discpline of his Holyness Bhakti Caitanya Swami
What are your expectations from this community?
I want to be in touch with devotees that will aspire me to grow in my spiriutal life and be very sincere
Describe any specific service you would love to offer to Lord Krishna & His devotees?
I am currently assisting with Breakfast and Rajbogha and would like to do book distrubtion.

Hare Krishna! Thank you for adding me as your friend. I am a brand new devotee and currently trying to learn all I can. I attended my first temple on Sunday. It was amazing. I wish it were closer to me so that I could be there more.
May Lord Krishna light the path and teach us.
