On Srila Vana Maharaja:
Srila Bhaktivedanta Vana Goswami Maharaja is a world-renowned traveling monk from Bengal, India known for his sweetness, humility, endearing humor, deep wisdom, and immense heart. He is a practitioner of bhakti-yoga, the yoga of devotion, as well as speaker, author, and mentor to many communities of bhakti yogis and yoginis around the world- particularly in Brazil and across Central and South America, Europe, Russia, China and India. He possesses an electric energy that keeps him full of fervor as he travels from city to city every 1-7 days, singing kirtan and speaking for hours each day on the wisdom teachings of Bhakti.
Born in West Bengal, India, Srila Vana Maharaja grew up in a family that was deeply steeped in the practice of Vaisnavism, a particular line of Hinduism. At age 23, after graduating from the University of Calcutta, he joined the Devananda Gaudiya Math temple and dedicated the next 19 years to study and service there as a brahmachari (student monk) to his Guru. In 2000, he took sannyas (full renunciation into monkhood) and began traveling the world to give what he learned. For the last 23 years he has traveled from place to place, spreading the beautiful spiritual teachings of bhakti yoga to many communities, speaking everywhere from yoga studios and cultural centers, to ashrams and temples, to universities and government embassies in all corners of the globe.
