Vaisesika Dasa is a disciple of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Srila Prabhupada Swami. His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada was born in 1896 in Calcutta, India. He first met his spiritual master, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Gosvami, in Calcutta in 1922. Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati, a prominent bhakti-yoga scholar and the founder of sixty-four branches of Gaudiya Mathas (Vedic institutes), requested His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada to broadcast Vedic knowledge through the English language. In the years that followed, His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada wrote a commentary on the Bhagavad-gita and in 1944, without assistance, started an English fortnightly magazine.

Discover what inspired Vaisesika Dasa’s spiritual journey as he recounts the pivotal moments that shaped his passion for sharing Bhakti Yoga with the world.
Vaisesika recalls being intrigued by the mysteries of life as a young boy, but feeling frustrated in his attempts to make sense out of it all. As he searched for answers, nothing satisfied his thirst for wisdom – until his life took an unexpected turn as a teenager.
Disillusioned with the depth of knowledge offered by popular culture, Vaisesika renounced worldly pursuits and became a monk at the age of fifteen.
The ISKCON spiritual community of three hundred families he developed in Silicon Valley, California is based on the study and distribution of His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada’s books, and consistently ranks high amongst the list of small temples in these efforts.
“It was great to consolidate all the things that I had learned throughout the years from mentors, and to dig deep and think about my own realizations, and how this service had actually molded my life,” he says.
Our Family Business is divided into four sections. The first, Chronicles, gives a basic history of book distribution in the Gaudiya Sampradaya, in His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada’s life, and in ISKCON up to his passing in 1977, describing how it got off the ground in the U.S. and spread all over the world.
Do you have a burning question? Do you want to meet kindred spirits and begin a transformational journey, or perhaps you want to take a retreat from the daily grind and reconnect with spirit?
