Kavichandra Swami Portrait painting
Kavichandra Swami met the Hare Krishna
devotees in 1967 and was initiated by Srila Prabhupada in 1971. He
joined the temple in Tucson, Arizona, and since that time he has served
in various capacities in the United States and around the world. Some of
these services include, from 1973 until 1977, itinerant selling of
Srila Prabhupada’s books to libraries, universities, and individuals
(including leading a book distribution team called the
Radha-Damodara-Sankirtan Party), preaching Krishna consciousness in
Fiji, filling in as the general manager for the Radha-Rasabihari temple
in Juhu, India, and as temple president in Tokyo, Japan.
In Japan in 1982, Kavichandra Swami took
his sannaysa vows (lifelong celibacy and a vow to fully serve his
spiritual teacher with mind, body, and words). Five years later, in
1987, Maharaja started to serve as a GBC member for Japan. Gradually,
his GBC responsibilities expanded from Japan to culturally diverse
places such as Thailand, Indochina, Indonesia, Greece, and West Africa.
Kavicandra Swami is also a committee member of the GBC Executive
Committee, ISKCON Law Committee, and Revision Committee.
