Namaste dharma66
your honesty is refreshing... I do not have a total solution to your need. Let me say getting involved is like getting into a nice hot bath. We do it a foot at a time, yes?
So, spend some time here on this site...there is a wealth of knowledge. You will be able to separate the diamonds from the rocks as you read the posts.
Also - showing up at the temple in humility is a noteworthy thing to do...
Walk in, removing your shoes outside, and look for the pundit. Address him sincerely and mention your desire and where to begin. When to go is up to your schedule, yet during the weekday is usually slower times.
In the USA, the hours are usually 9 AM to 1 PM, then the temple opens again at 5 PM to 9 PM. Weekends [ usually open all day and up to 9 PM] are usually filled with pujas and the like - so try a day that works for you.
hope this helps a bit... let us know how it goes.
pranams,
