Hare , We are very excited to share the news that His Holiness Bhakti Purusottam Maharaj will be visiting Michigan Kalibari and talking about Lord on August 4th 2018 Saturday at 7:00 pm. We are humbly requesting everyone to participate and take advantage of this rare opportunity to directly hear from Maharaj in Bengali and do sankirtan together.

Little about Maharaj: Bhakti Purusottam Swami Maharaj is the most popular name in ISKCON and all over the world for Lord Jagannath Katha. He is the Governing Body Commission (GBC) of ISKCON and Co- director of ISKCON Mayapur – world ISKCON headquarter. Maharaj first joined ISKCON in Mayapur, India, in 1978. He is an initiated disciple of Jayapataka Swami and is an integral part of the organization of the Headquarters of ISKCON in Mayapur, where he is based. Maharaj speaks Bengali, Oriyan, Hindi and English and shares Krishna consciousness in all of these languages. He travels to many other parts of the globe encouraging others in their spiritual life. His GBC zonal assignments include Eastern India, Bangladesh, Korea and Nepal. Currently, along with other responsibilities maharaj is actively involved in ISKCON's Tribal Care Initiative (ITCI) program inspired by His Holiness Jayapataka Swami Maharaj.

Maharaj is also author of several books: Sri Jagannath (The Pastimes of The Lord of The Universe), Śrī Kṣetra parikrama, The Final Call Death, and The Glories and Pastimes of Srimati Radharani (a book on the pastimes of Krishna’s dearest devotee). He has also written a few smaller titles in the Bengali language.
