Tripurari Swami

Tripurari was born in 1949 in Teaneck, New Jersey. He devoted his youth to the pursuit of transcendental knowledge and mystic experience. Tripurari met his initiating guru, A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, in the spring of 1972.  In 1974 Prabhupada instructed Tripurari in a widely circulated letter, "So you organize freely. You are the incarnation of book distribution. Take the leadership and do the needful." Shortly before Prabhupada's death, he suggested that, should the need arise, his students could receive further instruction from his godbrother B. R. Sridhara. Tripurari was present when Prabhupada gave this instruction. The association and instructions of B. R. Sridhara profoundly affected Tripurari, and under his guidance, Tripurari began initiating his own students in 1985.
