Sacinandana Swami is a disciple of A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, in the tradition of Gaudiya Math.
Early days
During his early years in ISKCON, Sacinandana Swami translated Srila Prabhupada’s books from English into German, and then later joined the Sankirtana book distribution party in Germany. While distributing books, Sacinandana Swami began to feel that not only should people own a set of Prabhupada’s books, but they should practice Krsna consciousness in their homes. Thus he developed nama-hatta congregational preaching in Germany and the North European area. Out of the nama-hattas grew big public programs, with the forming of the Gauranga Bhajana Group and the Nityananda Bhajana Group. Later, Sacinandana Swami helped start various farm communities and projects around Europe, including the Goloka Dhama project in Germany.
Travels
Sacinandana Swami soon came to realize that the real road to spiritual development is the inward road. For his own spiritual development, therefore, he undertook a number of pilgrimages to holy places, often traveling to Vrndavana for japa retreats. He also visited Badrinath, Kedaranath, Gangotri, Mount Kailash in the Himalayas, Ahobalam, Sri Rangam, Melkote, and Tirupati in South India.
Academic Service
He has also participated and is still engaged in educational development in ISKCON, including conducting classes at the Vaisnava Institute for Higher Education and the Bhaktivedanta College project at Radhadesh. Sacinandana Swami's new emphasis lies in the Veda Academy, which presents the culture of Krsna consciousness through Vedic sciences, art, and philosophy. The Veda Academy is already active in eight countries, and promises to influence many more.
