About Srila Gurudeva

Out of his intense compassion, Srila Narayana Maharaja appeared in this world in 1921 in Bihar, India, in a village named Tewaripur near the bank of the sacred Ganges river.

A self-realized guru in the disciplic succession of saintly masters going back to Lord Krsna Himself, Srila Maharaja is the foremost disciple of his initiating spiritual master Srila Bhakti Prajnana Kesava Gosvami Maharaja, as well as his instructing spiritual master Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Svami Prabhupada, the world-renowned preacher of Krsna consciousness.

An erudite scholar of the classic books of transcendental wisdom called the Vedas, Srila Maharaja has translated and published over thirty volumes in Hindi with his own commentaries. His works have been translated into English and other languages, and are providing hundreds of thousands of people with new life and spiritual inspiration.

Srila Maharaja is recognized throughout the world by conscientious secular and religious leaders for his contribution to the advancement of love of God and universal brotherhood, and for this unselfish public service for the benefit and welfare of humanity.
