Kadamba Kanana Maharaja Returns to Melbourne

Kadamba Kanana Maharaja will visit Melbourne Mahaprabhu Mandir from Wednesday, November 20 till Tuesday, November 26.

Maharaja is currently in Sri Vrindavana Dhama on parikrama. You can follow some posts from his parikrama party on Facebook by searching under 'Kadamba Kanana Swami.

Kadamba Kanana Swami joined ISKCON in 1978 shortly after Srila Prabhupada’s departure from this world.  He became a disciple of HH Jayadvaita Swami and served in Vrndavana from ’78 to ’84 in various types of management.

After a one year break in Australia (including New Gaudadesa farm) he returned to India, this time to take charge of the construction of Srila Prabhupada’s Samadhi in Mayapura. He remained there from ’85 to ’90.

Maharaja liked the pioneering spirit of working in India and above all he liked to stay in the Holy Dhama. In 1990 he became the Temple President of the Krsna Balarama Mandir in Vrndavana and remained in that position until ’95.

Then he began to travel and preach around the world and in 1997 he received sannyasa.

These days - besides preaching in Europe, South Africa, India and Australia - he still has some involvement in the supervision of the Vrndavana temple.

Kadamba Kanana Maharaja is renowned for his dramatic and often humorous classes, his skills as a kirtaneer, and his love of sharing the joys of Krishna consciousness with everyone he meets.
