Our Inspiration
Born in a Vaishnava family on the auspicious occasion of “Ram Navami”, Shri Mathuradhis Das Ji Maharaj exhibited genuine attraction towards Krishna bhakti right from his childhood.
After Srila Gurudev’s first meeting with Sri Srimad Gour Govind Swami Maharaj at a tender age of 13 in 1994, the only thing which remained in his life worth striving for is “Krishna Prema”.
In 2010, his Diksha Guru Sri Srimad Radha Govind Das Goswami Maharaj ordered Srila Gurudev to preach and help others experience ‘Vraja Prema’.
Srila Gurudev has permanently based himself in Vrindavan Dham and travels to other places pouring the ‘Bhakti Rasa’ in the hearts of the devotees by his heart enlivening Kathas, Bhajans and Kirtans. Srila Gurudev has started the construction of “Sri Sri Radha Venu Madhav Ashtasakhi Mandir” in Vrindavan Dham which is one of its kind and promises to instill the eternally cherished ‘Vraja Bhav’ in the hearts of the darshanarthis.
