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

I was introduced in 1974 by Subhapati dasa in Portland, a country town 4 hours from Melbourne

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

I live at Melbourne temple (Australia), my TP is Aniruddha dasa, our senior vaisnavi is Acintya Rupa dasi.

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

I have an artistic temperament: my service is magazine publication, graphic art, fine art painting, and initiation administration. As a brahmani I serve the Deities and paint Them. I have also served as a book illustrator for ISKCON projects, in new temple design (drafting), and in painting new Deities prior to Their installation (Suva & Sigatoka, Fiji).

What are your expectations from this community?

My expectations of this community are to link up with other participants in the annual Vrindavan BBT Art seminars that began in 2007.

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

I wish to maintain my current service load, but to complete more paintings.
