A very warm welcome to the forum.
Namaste,
I am KrsnaDasa, currently on my way to following Gaudiya Vaishnavism. But I tend to enjoy and respect all forms of Hinduism, especially Vaisnavism
That's really it for my intro!
Hare Krsna
Welcome, and ...
So what got you interested in this path?

Thanks for the welcoming everyone!
The devotional side of it, I have loved Hinduism and Vaishnavism for a while. When I started reading about Sri Mahaprabhu, I fell in love with Gaudiya Vaishnavism. Also, the chanting is nice! But, I respect and love all Vaishnava Sampradayas because they all worship Sri Visnu/Sri Krsna, and the Acharyas are fantastic, like Sri Ramanujacharya and Sri Madhvacharya.

Hahaha, if I may ask, how did you ever guess?!?!
It's a divine sight I have.
And, welcome to RF! I need you to be the staunchest Gaudiya you can be. We don't have enough of Gaudiyas here on RF. It will be a wonderful treat!
Jai Shri Krishna
What is 'for awhile''? I'm 60 years old now, so 'for awhile' might mean something entirely different to you than to me. I've also been around Hinduism for awhile now.

Dude, 60 years is not even enough.

Give or take a few previous lifetimes inhabiting some other bag of bones, who knows? I hope that I have somewhere less than a hundred left, but some days it feels like it may be eternity until some sort of mystical event ever happens.

Haha, let's just say I'll be the best Gaudiya I can can be! And be warned, I tend to site scripture alot in my arguments! I'm very good at throwing scripture at people

Well, in my case about a quarter of my life, but I'm only twenty going on to twenty one. I got into it when I was fifteen and going through alot of crap, it made me feel safe and took my mind away from material things. Hinduism has always had that effect on me, whatever is going on, I can get through it with Krsna.

Thank you for the reply.
Yep! It's not a Gaudiya Vaishnava or ISKCON temple, but it does have a wonderful alter dedicated to Radha Krsna and that's all I need. I Don't go there alot, I have my own home alter and chant infront of it when I can.

Sri Krishna Chaitanya Prabhu ~ Swarupa Damodar Das - YouTube

TRANSLATION
1) My dear Lord Caitanya, please be merciful to me, because who can be more merciful than Your Lordship within these three worlds?
2) Your incarnation is just to reclaim the conditioned, fallen souls, but I assure You that You will not find a greater fallen soul than me. Therefore, my claim is first.
3) My dear Lord Nityananda, You are always joyful in spiritual bliss. Since You always appear very happy, I have come to You because I am most unhappy. If You kindly put Your glance over me, then I may also become happy.
4) My dear Advaita Prabhu, husband of Sita, You are so kind. Please be merciful to me. If You are kind to me, naturally Lord Caitanya and Nityananda will also be kind to me.
5) Gaura's love embodiment is shown by Gadadhara Pandita. Srinivasa Pandita and Haridasa Thakura are the ocean of mercy.
6) O Svarupa Damodara, personal secretary of Lord Caitanya, O six Gosvamis O Sri Rupa Gosvami, Sri Sanatana Gosvami, Sri Raghunatha Bhatta Gosvami, Sri Gopala Bhatta Gosvami, Sri Jiva Gosvami, and Sri Raghunatha dasa Gosvami! O Lokanatha Gosvami, my beloved spiritual master! Narottama dasa also prays for your mercy.
7) O Srinivasa Acarya, successor to the six Gosvamis! Please be merciful to me. Narottama dasa always desires the company of Ramacandra Cakravarti.
