Out of his immense compassion for all souls wandering in this world, Sri Srimad Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami Maharaja took his divine birth in 1921, in the village Tiwaripura, near the banks of the sacred river Ganges in the state of Bihar, India.

He performed human – like pastimes here, to set the perfect example for all those desiring true spiritual life.In 1946 he surrendered himself com pletely at the lotus feet of this spiritual master, Sri Srimad Bhakti Prajnana Kesava Gosvami Maharaja.

For almost fifty years he travelled throughout India, inspiring tens of thousands of people by his own example and by his precepts. In 1996 he began to travel abroad, continuing to bring the light and joy of the truly merciful spiritual lineage of Gaudiya Vaisnavism to the far reaches of this world.

He also translated and wrote profound commentaries on nearly sixty sacred texts which now serve to inspire all sincere spiritual aspirants, and his devoted followers have been translating them into the major languages of the world.

On December 29, 2010 he concluded his pastimes in this world, in Sri Puridhama, leaving us bereft of his physical presence. His jewel – like world, in Sri Puridhama, leaving us bereft of his physical presence. His jewel – like teachings, however, are eternal, and will continue to shine like a radiant beacon to guide all on the path of pure devotion.
