Swami Nikhilanand
Swami Nikhilanand, is a disciple of Jagadguru
Shree Kripaluji Maharaj. He was attracted to the teachings of Hinduism from a
very young age. Eventually, his deep
spiritual longing led him to India, where he was most fortunate to come under
the guidance of Shree Kripaluji Maharaj.
Thereafter, he extensively studied the Indian language Hindi, the
Philosophy of the prime Sanskrit scriptures, (Vedas, Shastras, Gita and Bhagavatam)
and practiced meditation. In 2003 he was
given Sanyas, Now with the blessings of
his Guruji, he offers lectures throughout America, teaching classes for all
ages on topics such as The Bhagavad Gita, which is said to be the essence of
the Vedas and The Sanatana Dharma, the true way of life. His pravachans provide
clear explanations of Hindu Philosophy with inspired chanting of Sanskrit
mantras, shlokas and melodious naam sankirtan.
Understanding any Hindu scripture including The
Gita can be done only from a true saint. It is explained in the Gita that a
person is qualified to study the Gita only when he has faith in Shri Krishna. Also, Chapter 4, verse 34, of the Gita,
explains that the knowledge of the Gita cannot be acquired without first
surrendering to a realized saint.
It will be an incredible learning experience
understanding the deepest aspects of Bhagavad Gita with guidance from Swami
Nikilanand. He resides at Radha Madhav
Dham, the main US ashram of Jagadguru Kripalu Maharaj.
