An Overview of Govardhan EcoVillage

Special Guest: Radhanath Swami

For over 50 years, Radhanath Swami, a monk in the bhakti tradition, has committed his life to guiding individuals toward deeper purpose and driving social initiatives through the transformative power of bhakti.

Radhanath Swami is one of the world’s most beloved and respected spiritual teachers. He spent his youth travelling the world, experiencing its rich cultures and diversity. As he wandered, he was yearning to find meaning and purpose in his life. Since meeting his spiritual teacher in India 50 years ago, Radhanath Swami has been on a mission to share the beauty of Bhakti with the world.  He is not only a guide but a community builder, activist, and a New York Times Bestselling author.

Radhanath Swami’s message is as profound as it is simple: by cultivating a rich inner life of self-awareness and serving others with humility, we can become instruments of compassion and agents of sustainable change in the world.
