Daily number of rounds of Hare Krishna mahamantra.

Zero but I chant the Mahamantra for at least 4 hours everyday.

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

A girlfriend brought me to the Bhakti Center in NY in 2013. I have been going there ever since I go every Thursday for kirtan and seva. I do seva every Thursday there. I love the devotees there and it is mutual.

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

The Bhakti Center Yashoda Dulal Anantadeva Doyal Gauranga Vraj Gopal Neela Ramraya Prabhu Adideva (Ananta Govinda's father) from Radha Govinda Jai Giridhar Virabhadra Ram

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

I love Krishna I love kirtan I love the Bhakti center

What are your expectations from this community?

None. I did this so my friend Doyal Gauranga Prabhu would sign up because I want everyone in ISKCON to hear him singing the Mahamantra. He wouldn't sign up unless I did. He sings more beautifully than anyone I have heard!!!

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

Doing dishes at the Bhakti Center and start a twice annual Sadhusangha at the Bhakti Center for the Northeast.
