"I am not yet initiated.
I do follow the four regulative principles and chant. I still want to follow what is proper.

Why not initiated?
I have been aspiring, and temple authorities will not allow me initiation.
I have not been given the reason.

Thank you for instructing me. Please accept my apology since you find my question an offense.

The subject is written of in the Srimad Bhagavatam. I am trying to understand from shastra and devotees.

Dear Bhaktin Carol , Hare Krsna, Please accept the blessings of Srila Prabhupada and all vaisnava acaryas. They have left there mercy here in their instructions. I hope you are well and happy in your Krsna consciousness. Previously I wanted to spesk a little glorification of Krsna and His devotees in Disscusions . This was in regard to the different age of Krsna and his dearmost freinds. This subjeci is so sweetly descrbed in The Nectar of Devotion. This age of the souls in Krsnas lilas are eternal. And to say there is no such spiritual age is rather impersonal. This impersonal veiw I felt was given too much emphasis and therefore I sought to bring a more personalist presentation. Unfortunatly It was not so welcomed and I feared I may be expecting too much from the others who began to ridicule the very idea that the soul has an age. Also so many misunderstaning regarding the use of english came up in the effort to support strongly held impersonal explanations of the Gita. I was not wanting a debate so I discontinued in case there maybe critisism of such personalism. What I hoped would be a nice disscision regarding the spiritual form of Krsna was not to be. I feel because you didnt make any comments you may be dissapointed. I appologise, but I feel I must keep my heart hidden from the harsh sceptics who fail to comprhend that they do have an eternal age. Recently I was telling a freind about the disscusion and he assured me that i was right to present the purely peronal veiwpoint. So Bhaktin Carol Please tell me what do you think? Was it so difficult to understand?

Daily number of rounds of Hare Krishna mahamantra.

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

when I was younger, my mother mentioned "Hare Krishna" many times, then I painted simple painting of Lord Nrsimha. Years later, a client of mine recommended a vegetarian restaurant (Kalachandji's restaurant at the Dallas temple), when I went there I was impressed by the devotees. I kept in contact for some time, asking questions, and offered food on a simple altar. In 2002 a man, who was supposed to take care of me when I was ill, struck me while I lay in the bed, severely injuring and leaving me to die. I knew I had to get in contact with devotees. Devotees from Dallas temple brought incense, garlands, pictures of Krishna, prasadam, ganga water, carnmrita, and tulasi leaves. Mahat Tattva in California sent a package of cassette tapes, including maha mantra. After carnmrita, speaking to devotees, and listening to the mantra, an ambulance took me to the hospital. I listened to the tapes and the Lord's names 24/7 by headphones on an auto-reverse player. Have been attending Dallas temple since Jan 2004. I met HH Bhakti Charu Swami Maharaj April 10 2005. I was engaged to Vidagdha Madhava prabhu ("Music" on Desire Tree Network) since 2007. We served with Food For Life together, and constructed a Ratha Yatra parade cart. He has many years with the temple here, and has been very helpful instructing me. Vidagdha and I had garland exchange ceremony at the end of July 2010. He left his body December 10, 2010.

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

Hare Krishna Bhaktin Carol!
Sorry it took so long to respond to your question, please forgive me. i was preparing for a devotee retreat at our new temple and was completely absorbed for over a month.
Bala-Gopala likes all colors and he likes Ladus. If you can make small ones for him and offer one to him daily, he will be so happy. If He is your only Deity, you should see if you have time each day to bathe and dress Him and offer a ladu.
May Radha and Krishna fill your year with Prosperity, Truth, Love, Enlivement, Friends, Support, Encouragement, Courage, Knowledge, Steadfastness and Realizations!
