'Getting to know each other' - A Transcendental Contest

"Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success" - Henry Ford

In order to work together and succeed individually and collectively, it is very important for us to know each other because it helps us feel bonded to each other. This spiritual bonding helps us to inspire each other in our devotional service. For example, we may work with a devotee for few hours a week in order to accomplish a particular task, but we may not know how, inspite of being a busy working parent, he manages to read Srila Prabhupad's books everyday without fail. Simply by knowing this we can truly appreciate the devotee and get inspiration from him to enhance our devotional skills. Also, when we take the extra step to know more about those who visit the temple and those whom we meet during our sankirtan, then they feel accepted and have a sense of belonging. This is very pleasing to Lord Krishna & all our acaryas.

With this goal in mind we'd like to encourage you participate in 'Getting to know each other' - A Transcendental Contest. All you need to do is to just follow the simple instructions mentioned below and personally interact with many souls & get to know more about them.
