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

In 1972 Devamrita 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-acharya 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. He eagerly absorbed the books of Srila Prabhupada four hours every day for six months, and then finally decided to visit the local Krishna Consciousness centre for the first time. Soon thereafter, he abandoned a corporate career to concentrate fully on his spiritual development.

For the past twenty-five years, Devamrita Swami has travelled worldwide, presenting knowledge of Krishna. Circling the globe twice a year, he now spends major time in the UK, Russia, New Zealand, Australia and India, combined with quicker visits to North and South America and Africa.
