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

I read "Bhagvad-Gita Jashi Aahe Tashi"(Marathi) in 2018 and since then I got interested in ISKCON. Through YouTube and whatsapp I got connected with devotees. Later I visited ISKCON Navi Mumbai and ISKCON Chowpatty.

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

ISKCON Navi Mumbai. I am connected with HG Pancatattva Bhakta Das and HG Shri Manohar Das.

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

I am still a neophyte trying to practice and struggling with following 4 regulative principles. Due to past bad habits sometimes I get indulged in watching porn and masturbation. But I am chanting 16 rounds of Hare Krishna Mahamantra daily since last 3 years.

What are your expectations from this community?

Getting spiritual help and solutions to the stumbling blocks on the path of devotional service.

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

Being a warrior by birth and Profession I will always support this movement.
