About Me:

I first joined Krishna consciousness in 1986 in NYC ISKCON and served there for some years as a brahmacari. Then I met my Srila Gurudeva in 1999 and have never looked back. He very generously gave me sannyas Gaura Purnima 2007. I was known as Pradyumna Misra before and had lived 6 years at Birmingham, England in the Sri Gour Govinda Gaudiya Math.

Before meeting devotees I was a Christian Minister and also spent 2 years in a Russian Orthodox Monastery. Being a product of Interfaith preaching I have a great appreciation for people of other faiths. Srila Gurudeva has encouraged me to meet people of other faiths and tell them of the principles of pure bhakti and encourage them to adopt whatever is helpful. I try to do this wherever I am serving him.

I am especially keen to see and help others see that we are all looking only for Krishna and are His eternal servants. Also, as someone who was born gay I am eager to help other gay people come to Krishna and know they are very welcome indeed.
