Sripad Sadhu Maharaja is a person rare to find in this world. As the former king of Munger, India, he decided one day to give up all his power and wealth to search entirely for pure divine love, prema. As an unique messenger of love he has travelled through South America and Europe emanating love and kindness.
Seeing real beauty in everyone and in everything, he unites people from various backgrounds, with loving understanding and relationship, as he is acting and speaking from the platform of the soul. His humble and sweet nature shines like a brilliant light into this world, bearing a wonderful experience for everybody who comes in contact with him.
Sadhu Maharaja got diksha in 1975 from Sri Sri 108 Radha Govinda das Babaji and in 1996 he took sannyas from Srila Bhakti Aloka Paramadvaiti Maharaja. Since 1995 Sadhu Maharaja is traveling through South America, North America and Europe where he is speaking about bhakti.
His grandparents and especially his grandmother had a great influence in his life. His grandfather Raja Raghunandana Prasad Singh would manage the State’s affairs and the rest of his time he was doing bhajan and service. His grandmother Rani Sarasvati was a saintly person who inspired him from childhood on to become a devotee and she taught him how to serve the Vasihnavas and Sri Sri Radha Mohan.
From 1965 to 1980 was his sadhana-time. He lived like a beggar in Vrindavana with a ghamsa and a chaddar. After his father passed away Sadhu Maharaja was searching for his spiritual master. He finally found him again in Vrindavana: Sri Sri 108 Radha Govinda das Babaji who told him that he already initiated him in his childhood.
Radha Govinda das Babaji lived for five years with Sadhu Maharaja in Munger Mandir, Vrindavana.
Now Sadhu Maharaja lives mostly in Munger Mandir, Vrindavana, except for occasional tours to the West every other year. His aphorism, ”love in action!” has inspired many charitable projects in India.
