I met the devotees when I was a Peace Corps science teacher in India in 1971-72. I had gone to India to study the Bhagavad Gita and to find out if Hare Krishna was bonafide - or some weird cult! I then had the good fortune of meeting Srila Prabhupada at the first Mayapur Festival. He changed my life by convincing me that good association is the key to spiritual life. I have taken that principle seriously ever since then! I was initiated in Houston in 1976. Currently I am the Director of the Bhaktivedanta Institute for Higher Studies, co-director of ISKCON Resolve, and on the Board of Directors of the Bhakti Center. In the past, I was on the Board of Directors of New Raman Reti when we were only 10 devotees! I have also been on the Board of Directors of the Krishna House, a former Gurukula Headmaster, a former BBT division director, as well as a Life Membership Director.
