“His Holiness Bhakti Vinoda Swami Maharaj is a senior full-time monk in the renounced order of Sannyas. A chemical engineering graduate from the National Institute of Technology at Trichy, South India, with a soaring and colorful past – having won awards for most outstanding student, cultural activities like drama, debate and as best singer/rhythm guitarist at a national level. Right at the start of a lucrative career back in the 80’s, inspired by the teachings of eastern Vaisnava philosophy, he summarily disengaged himself from worldly life to become a motivational monk, spreading the wisdom of the ancient Vedas worldwide. His focus is currently on bringing the wealth of eastern knowledge, especially to the future of the world – our youth.
