Bhakti Ananta Krishna Goswami
Before he came to Krishna consciousness, he was in Russian Navy. He was working on testing grounds of nuclear weapons. Soon radiation effects started to affect his health. Unfortunately no doctors were able to help him. He thus began to look for some alternative methods of treatment: fasting, vegetarianism, yoga began to deal with his health problems. Very quickly he began to recover.
While he was hankering to know more about bhakti yoga, he discovered that two of his juniors in the college were practicing Hare Krishna. Soon he started to chant on beads and sing the mahamantra whole day. Soon his search for a spiritual master led him to His Holiness Gopal Krishna Goswami. Since he meet his Guru, maharaj has been very enthusiastically preaching Krishna consciousness in Russia. He took sannyasa initiations in 2011. Video gallery >>
