Maharajji was born into a
wealthy brahmana family in West Bengal. In his teens he
went to Vrindavana where he took initiation from Sri Sri Vinoda Vihari
Gosvami coming in the line of Gadadhara Pandita. He first served and
studied from him, and then on his order went on to study in Benares
where he obtained nine graduate degrees and three
postgraduate degrees in various fields of Indian philosophy.
Apart from his scholastic erudition, he became famous for setting up Sri Gadadhara-Gaura Press, through which he published Hindi translations of many Vaishnava works in Sanskrit, doing thus invaluable service to the Vaishnava community. Besides many commentaries, he also authored Vedanta-darshana where he explained which aphorism from Vedanta-sutra corresponds to which verse in Srimad Bhagavatam.
Now, even despite his advanced age, he is actively engaged in service of cows, for which he constructed two goshalas and in which he involved all his disciples, giving them thus a rare opportunity to practically advance in their knowledge of bhakti.
He also gives darshans, worships deities, manages the ashram and the goshalas, personally takes care of cows, proofreads shastra, providing us in this way with the best possible example of how to live simply and totally devoted to the service of guruji, Krishna and all living beings.
