His Holiness Navayogendra Swamiji Maharaj

His Holiness Navayogendra Swamiji Maharaj is one of the foremost disciple of A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. He was born on 12th May 1946 on the very auspicious day of Rukmani Dwadashi in the holy town of Udhampur (J & K). He hails from a royal family of Raj Purohits (family Brahmin priests of the king of Kashmir). His father Pandit Harichandra ji and Smt. Durga Devi were both ardent devotees of Lord Krishna.

Maharaj ji is a naishtik brahmachari (celibate since birth). It is a common saying “Morning shows the day”. Since his childhood His Holiness exhibited divine qualities of a saint and observed four regulative principles naturally. At the tender age of 9 years His Holiness after seeing a movie “Dhruva Maharaj” left his home and proceeded towards the jungles just to get darshan of Lord Krishna. But after spending a day in a temple, on the advice of some sadhus he came back to his home. Again at the age of 17, he left his home and stayed for some time in the holy dham of Vrindavan in the association of many sadhus. Maharaj ji had to come back to Udhampur because his parents had located him in Sri Vrindavan Dham. His desire for Krishna bhakti grew day by day along with his disinterest in the material life. After completing his graduation he could not keep himself any longer in a material association and he left Udhampur.

It was in the year 1974 when His Holiness got initiation from His Divine grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the founder acharya of great ISKCON and formally became his disciple. Seeing the dedication, sincerity, renunciation and pure devotion in him Srila Prabhupada awarded him the renounced order (Sannyas diksha) at the young age of 28. After Sannyasa, Maharaj travelled and preached mostly in many African countries. For seven years he lived a hectic and austere life even refraining from sugar, salt and grains in his food. He twice got the wonderful opportunity to serve Srila Prabhupada as a personal servant.

For the sake of preaching, Maharaj ji is always on move, traveling most of the time. He has been visiting and preaching Krishna consciousness several times in most of the countries across the globe. He has preached about Srimad Bhagwad Gita to many leaders and presidents of various countries. He has also played an important role in temple construction (Chandigarh, Udhampur, Mombasa ) setting up gurukuls, organizing rathyatras and inspiring thousands and thousands of people across the globe to surrender to the lotus feet of Srila Prabhupada and get the Mercy of Lord Chaitanya.
