His Holiness Tamal Krishna Goswami Maharaja
was an ISKCON Governing Body Commissioner and initiating spiritual master.
Accepted as a disciple by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
in 1968, he quickly emerged as a leader in ISKCON, establishing temples around
the world. As one of Srila Prabhupada's most trusted disciples, he often
served as Srila Prabhupada's personal secretary. His lectures, available in
audio and video,
bring the wealth and vast knowledge of Vedic culture and history into a
practical present-day perspective. Tamal Krishna Goswami Maharaja also was
the author of many books
on transcendental knowledge, including two classical Vedic dramas. Though
no longer physically present among us, he lives forever in his instructions,
books, and in the hearts of those whose lives he touched.
