About Swami B.G. Narasingha Maharaja

Śrīla Bhakti Gaurava Narasiṅgha Mahārāja (Jagat Guru Swami) appeared on Annadā Ekādaśī at Corpus Christi, USA in 1946. After studies in haṭha-yoga, he took initiation from his guru, Śrīla A.C. Bhaktivedānta Swami Prabhupāda in 1970 and preached in the African continent for 3 years before accepting sannyāsa in 1976. After Prabhupāda’s disappearance, Śrīla Narasiṅgha Mahārāja took śīkṣā (spiritual instruction) from Śrīla B.R. Śrīdhara Deva Gosvāmī and Śrīla B.P Purī Gosvāmī. Although he spent most of his spiritual life preaching in India, Narasiṅgha Mahārāja also travelled to Europe, Mexico and the United States to spread the message of his spiritual masters. He penned over 200 essays and 13 books delineating Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇava siddhānta. He left this world in his āśrama in South India in 2020.

Vaiṣṇavas are the Only True Religious People (07/09/13) Dear ____ Dāsa, I read your response and it was very good.

Instructions on Kīrtana and Prasādam (06/02/13)

Instructions on Kīrtana and Prasādam (06/02/13) Dear _______ Dāsī, Nice report. The Holy Name is the center and the instruments are to accompany the kīrtana, not dominate. Chanting "oṁ namo bhāgavate vāsudevaya" is OK, but not always necessary. Let others read also. An initiated devotee is preferable to lead kīrtanas, but to encourage others, they may be asked to Read more...
