H.H. BHAKTI BRAHAD SWAMI MAHARAJ
DESCRIPTION
His Holiness Bhakti Brahad Bhagavat Swami Maharaj initially joined the Divine Life Society, where he studied under Sri Swami Sahajananda in his quest for spiritual understanding. Recognizing his missionary spirit, Sri Swami Sahajananda encouraged him to join the Hare Krishna Movement, leading him to acquire Srimad Bhagavatam and other works by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. Deeply moved by these teachings, he became a full-time member of ISKCON. He was awarded sannyasa initiation by ISKCON guru Giriraja Swami on December 24, 2009, at the Sri Sri Radha-Radhanath Temple in Durban, South Africa.
