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

I came into contact with the hare krishna movement through ISKCON Rajkot, Gujarat. I was inspired by srila prabhupada's teachings and started chanting hare krishna maha-mantra regularly. Over time I also started reading srila prabhupada's books daily like Bhagavad Gita as it is, teachings of lord chaitanya, Beyond birth and death, self realization, easy journey to other planets etc.

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

My nearest temple is shri shri Radha Neelmadhav Dham, ISKCON Rajkot. I also follow the teachings of HH Mahavishnu Goswami Maharaj and have connected with devotees from the temple through online lectures and WhatsApp broadcast group.
