HH Gopal Krishna Goswami
G.B.C., Trustee: BBT
His Holiness Gopal Krishna Maharaj appeared on the auspicious
day of Annada Ekadashi, on August 14, 1944 in New Delhi, India. After
graduating from the Delhi University, His Holiness studied Business
Management at the University of Paris in Sorbonne and later obtained His
Master’s degree in Business Administration from the McGill University
of Montreal, Canada. His Holiness Gopal Krishna Maharaja’s life
changed dramatically after He met His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta
Swami Prabhupada on June 1, 1968. In two weeks He knew that He would
accept Srila Prabhupada as His spiritual master. After taking formal
initiation from Prabhupada on May 22, 1969, He got fully involved in
serving Him. Srila Prabhupada sent Him to India after He had served
Him as His personal secretary in 1975. His Holiness was appointed the
Governing Body Commissioner (GBC) of ISKCON, India, where He utilized
His talents for promoting Srila Prabhupada’s books all over the world.
In 1982, His Holiness took sannyasa, the Vedic order of renunciation.
He is now GBC of over 30 temples around the world. He successfully
opened a multi-crore Sri Sri Radha Parthsarthi temple in New Delhi,
India. The temple complex includes a Vedic Culture Centre, GLORY OF
INDIA with a Vedic Museum, theater, and multimedia visual display. At
present, His Holiness is involved in preaching Krishna Consciousness
through out the world.
