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

1988 Dharani Dasa gave me Krishna book in London, then i met him at the manor.

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

Bhaktivedanta Manor, Govindas Swansea, Nottingham Nama Hatta and New Vraja Dhama in Hungary. Tarikanath Prabhu in Wales Hare Krishna Dasi and Pundharika Prabhu, Nottingham Guru Maharaja in Hungary Kripamoya Prabhu, London.

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

Ok, Haribol! I have to be honest and say i am probably the worlds worst devotee, my progress is very slow in regards to following the four regs, but after 15 or so years i have by remarkable grace gained fixed faith and a fairly solid understanding of the philosophy. Because i dont get association very often you would find me a little rusty in regards to temple practices. Now i live in very small rural village in France, i have visited New Mayapur but it is a four hour drive so that will be rather sporadic as far as association. So i am here :) Hare Krishna.

What are your expectations from this community?

I love this site, it is a big part of my association. My expectations? Simply some good association of Devotees.

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

I like to cook, i do love to give books to anyone i can but my ability to convince other is limited and not very expert. I have learned to listen more and not talk too much.
