Notes on names

Bhakta Tim McEvitt

Bhakta Tim is from Dublin, and was born in 1975. A month before his 18th birthday he was wandering around Dublin on a Saturday afternoon when he chanced to come across the 'Hare Krishna Cultural Centre', which had been opened by His Grace Tribuvanatha Dasa Brahmachari a few months earlier.

He was initially drawn in and attracted by the great literary work, the Bhagavad Gita, a copy of which had been placed prominently in the shop window.

Tim has performed a variety of voluntary work for the Hare Krishna Movement since then: office work, communications, temple administration, literature distribution and organising events.

He is based at the Govindadwipa temple, situated on a 22-acre lake island in Co. Fermanagh, in the north of Ireland. He loves the lakeland atmosphere, fresh air and the health benefits from living surrounded by indigenous woodland.
