Hare Krishna Temple Perth WA ISKCON

His Holiness Devamrta Swami

His Holiness Devamrta Swami was born 16 October 1950 in New York City. At the age of thirteen, he received a scholarship to prep school in the mountains of New Hampshire, where he studied until, at seventeen, he received a scholarship to Yale University.

In 1972, Devamrta Swami graduated from Yale University. At this time he came in contact with the books of His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the founder-acarya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness. He discovered that the knowledge presented in these books was the beginning of his real education. His attraction to this transcendental information was immediate - and the effect profound. Devamrta Swami decided to abandon a corporate career in order to concentrate fully on his spiritual development.

Devamrta Swami became an initiated student of Srila Prabhupada in 1974, and in 1982 he accepted the renounced order of life. For the past twenty-six years, he has traveled worldwide, presenting the philosophy of Krishna Consciousness. Currently he is based in Australia and New Zealand, and frequently travels to India and the Orient on preaching missions.
