Could you please tell us how you joined ISKCON?

In 1967 Jananivasa and I came to India together, searching for truth . We travelled all around India for 3 years, and I had 2 gurus before meeting the devotees, although they were Māyāvādī gurus. [Pankajanghri Prabhu chuckles] Jananivasa had a couple of paper Bhagavad-gītās, however they were not Prabhupāda’s Bhagavad-gītā . At that time we knew just a little about the Hare Kṛṣṇas from the record, we had once seen devotees in a night club performing, but at that time we didn’t know anything about ISKCON
