About Me:

I came in contact with Krishna consciousness by my brother who was reading Srila Prabhupada's books and listening devotees records and tapes since 1972.
I first met the devotees in New Mayapur community (France) in 1981. After having practice for 3 years, I join the movement in 1984 in that place. I got first initiation from Bhagavan das in 1985 and have been distributing books for one year, and after I became the sankirtan party cook in a previous Paris temple, before becoming the temple head cook.
After Bhagavan departure, I have been ask to be pujari and I continue this service for Sri Sri Radha-Parisisvara for 4 years, being Lord Jagannath's personnal pujari for this period and also head pujari for some years.
Then I moved to the south France where many families of devotees were living.
I came first in contact with Srila Gurudeva in 1997 when he came to France for a festival in New Mayapur and got initiation from him one year later during Kartika festival.
We have a quite place in the south France called Gokula which is big enough to receive devotees and we have the good fortune to welcome many sadhus who are travelling and preaching as you will see on the pictures enclosed.
