HH Bhakti Ashraya Vaishnav swami Maharaj was born in Odisha , by birth inclined to Bhakti.

One day he saw his friend chanting got attracted to it.

After few months he realised it's useless to do job.Left the job and started journey towards Rishikesh.

Co passengers asked him where he was going he told he is going to see Taj Mahal.

Co passengers were from Vrindavan.they told him to Go to Vrindavan instead of going to see Taj Mahal.also told him to give a letter to their family members.

Then he came to Vrindavan

One day he came to Iskcon Vrindavan, Got seva in kitchen on Radhaashtmi .He did that for few months .use to stay in temple only.

*One day HH Gopal Krishna Goswami Maharaj asked him why he is not attending lecture. he can understand english.

So his job shifted from kitchen to book distribution.

He served there with many senior vaishnavas

For 15 years Maharaj traveled out of Vrindavan in Bus Party distributing Books.

Then slowly his job shifted to temple management.
