Hare Krishna My name Anil,grown up in Pune city of India.
After much struggle and lot of dpression in personal life, I came in contact with Iskcon in year 2001. I first read Bhagvatgita of srila Prabhupad and I found great and trusted shelter of real dharma manitioned clearly and as it.
I came out of all anxities of my mind . Then I stared to attend sunday satsang programes in Pune temple regularly . After having association with few advanced devotees in temple I started to follow four principles and chanting of hare krishna mahamantra . Still little unfortune for not achiving consistancy to chant sixteen rounds of hare krishna mahamantra regularly because of lots of ups and downs in my family life (may be due to effects of karmas of previous births.) NOw I am in better condition by the mercy of vaishnavas to chant and serve .
Now I am living in small town about 25 km. away from Pune known and Alandi (which is holy place) I am now a member of small group . We have few devotees in our group and we perform sankirtan once in week(since last one year)and trying to establish a small center of Iskcon here. We have tough challenges but have enough confidence because we have great faith in Lord Chaintya's words. One of my associate devotee got inspired from H H Loknath Swmi Maharaj (who always visit in Pune center) to perform sankirtan in groups and asked me to associate him.So we have also mercy of a great devotee. This holy place is related with one great sainty personality known as Saint Dnyaneshwar.
