Nitai Gayatri Mantra: ॥ kleem gaurabandhu cha vidmahe, neelaambaradhaari cha dheemahi, tanno nitaai prachodayaat ॥

व्रज में शुद्ध हरिनाम की प्राप्ति निताइस्मरण के द्वारा सम्भव है

निताइस्मरण बिना; हरिनाम, गौर, राधा कृष्ण दूरे ।।

निताइ गायत्री मन्त्र : ॥ क्लीं गौरबन्धु च विद्महे, नीलाम्बरधारी च धीमही, तन्नो निताइ प्रचोदयात् ॥

About Bhaktiratna Sadhu Maharaja

His Summary Biography

Bhaktiratna Sadhu Maharaja is the diksha disciple of Srila Bhaktishastri Parampada das Maharaja, who was the direct disciple of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura Prabhupada.

After 30 intense years in the brahmacharya ashram from his birth in 1971 till 2001 in Iskcon Mumbai, he received his Harinama and Gayatri diksha from his Srila Gurupadapadma in Ambika Kalna dhama in 2001.

Thereafter, he received his parivrajakacharya-sannyasa diksha in the Gopi-bhava mantra from Srila Bhaktikumuda Santa Goswami in Sri Chaitanya Ashram, Behala, Kolkata in the same year.

Bhaktiratna Sadhu's Initiation

His Gaudiya Matha Paramahansa Vesha

Since a parivrajakacharya sannyasi can progress to the stage of a paramhansa sannyasi, in 2018 in Shrivas Angan in Sridham Mayapur, he received his Gaudiya Matha white paramhansa-sannyasa vesha from Srila Nitya Krishna das Maharaja, who had received his own Gaudiya Matha vesha from Srila Bhaktipramoda Puri Goswami in Gopinatha Gaudiya Matha in 1989.

Bhaktiratna Sadhu Maharaja's Paramhansa Vesha

For those who are not aware, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Prabhupada himself gave this white paramhansa-sannyasa vesha to 13 of his own disciples in the original Gaudiya Matha.

Bhaktiratna Sadhu Maharaja has not accepted the white dress of the babajis outside the Gaudiya Matha as they may want to artificially go beyond the varnashrama-dharma and thus they may end up discarding their sacred threads.

Many illustrious disciples of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Prabhupada like Srila Bhaktipramoda Puri Goswami, Srila Bhaktipragyana Keshava Goswami, Srila Bhaktidayita Madhava Goswami, Srila Bhaktikumuda Santa Goswami, etc. also gave this white paramhansa-sannyasa vesha to some of their own disciples in their respective Gaudiya Matha branches.

Srila Prabhupada explained in Srimad Bhagavatam, as quoted below, that one can certainly progress from the parivrajakacharya-sannyasa stage to paramhansa-sannyasa as they are progressive stages of sannyasa by saying "after that, when he is fully mature a parivrakacharya can accept paramhansa", etc.:

"Kuticaka, bahudaka, parivrajakacarya and paramahamsa are gradual progressive stages in the renounced order of life, sannyasa, and Queen Kuntidevi, the mother of the Pandavas, has spoken about them in her prayers for Lord Krsna." (Srila Prabhupada in Srimad Bhagavatam 2.4.13)

"The six Gosvamis, they accepted. It is called paramahamsa stage, sannyasi's highest stage. Sannyasi has got four stages: kuticaka, bahudaka, parivrajakacarya and paramahamsa. Then he is more practiced: parivrajakacarya, he travels all over the world. And after that, when he is fully mature, he can chant one place Hare Krsna. He has no more business. So this is the last stage of mature sannyasa. (Spiritual) Name is (will remain) the same." (Srila Prabhupada at Babaji Vesha Awarding Ceremony of Audulomi dasa Babaji -- Chicago, July 11, 1975)

His Brahmachari Life

Bhaktiratna Sadhu Maharaja was a very serious and renounced Bhakti Yoga seeker right from his birth in 1971 in Gujarat.

Till 1989, he used to spend long hours in deep solitude and meditation on Lord Krishna in Mumbai and his Prempur village in Gujarat.

Bhaktiratna Sadhu Maharaja's Meditation in Prempur Gujarat

From 1989-2001, he served as a brahmachari in the Bhaktivedanta Book Trust and Iskcon Mumbai for 12 years.

During that time, he published and distributed hundreds of millions of Srila Prabhupada's books in six languages for 6 years after previously travelling all over India by leading sankirtana bus parties for 6 years.

Due to his tireless efforts, the Bhaktivedanta Book Trust India became the number-one publisher of Srila Prabhupada's Vedic books among all the BBTs in the world.

During these 12 years in the brahmacharya ashram, he also gave thousands of powerful discourses (3-4 marathon kathas and kirtans in a single day on many days of the week) to all types of audiences, including on global television.

As a result, he was rated as the number one spiritual speaker on Sony TV for his 120 TV episodes on the Bhagavad Gita As It Is in Hindi.

He also holds the world record in the distribution of 3500 Bhagavad Gita As It Is holy books in a single day in Pandharpur on Ashadi Ekadashi and also for the distribution of 700 12-volume Gujarati Chaitanya Charitamrita sets in a week in Gujarat.

Bhaktiratna Sadhu Maharaja's Sharing

His Sannyasa Life

On Sri Gaura Purnima 2001, due to the inner inspiration of his shiksha-guru Srila Prabhupada, he voluntarily resigned from BBT and Iskcon to fully surrender unto the eternal shelter of his Gurupadapadma Srila Bhaktishastri Parampada das Maharaja in Sri Giridhari Gaudiya Matha in Sri Ambika Kalna dhama, the most merciful marriage place of Their Lordships Shri Shri Shri Nitai, Vasudhe, and Jahnavi.

By the causeless mercy of his Srila Gurupadapadma, he began to deeply research about, meditate on, and menially assist devotees about how to chant Shuddha Harinama by quickly ending their ten offenses to Harinama in this very life itself.

Bhaktiratna Sadhu Maharaja's Paramhansa Vesha

The Ten Offenses to Harinama

These ten offenses considered by Harinama, as delineated in the Padma Purana and Harinama Chintamani, are the only obstacles in the whole creation stopping each and every soul from attaining pure love for Krishna in this very life. And these can be instantly and miraculously destroyed by the remembrance of the all-offense-destroying and all-forgiving form of Nitai while, before, or after chanting Harinama.

Bhaktiratna Sadhu Maharaja Doing Japa

From 2001, he went into his deep meditation of Shambhu's and Nitai's form in Sri Jagannatha Puri dhama, where he established the life-size deities of Sri Pancha Tattva in Sri Nitai Gaudiya Matha near the ocean with the support of generous devotees.

After that, he continued his profound bhajana in Sridham Mayapur (2010 onwards), Sri Radha Kund Dham (2013 onwards), and in Sri Nitaidham Ekachakra (2015 onwards) for 17 long years.

Bhaktiratna Sadhu

His Present Life

His primary shiksha guru is Srila Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada since the Sri Caitanya Caritamrta translated by Srila Prabhupada in 17 volumes made him a devotee while he was studying at his IIT University. At that time, he learnt Bengali and tearfully read and sang Sri Caitanya Caritamrita 5+ times with great relish and ecstasy.

He greatly respects the present and past teachings and the sharing efforts of all Gaudiya Matha Acharyas, Iskcon Sangas, etc. and is very careful to not hear or speak any criticism of any devotee or Sanga, even outside our Bhaktivinoda dhara.

He does not initiate any new devotee in the Hare Krishna maha-mantra anymore as he is not able to personally guide them as much as he wants due to his own inner absorption in meditating on Shambhu's and Nitai's form for attaining Harinama Siddhi.

Bhaktiratna Sadhu Maharaja Now

His Simple Life

He is so absorbed in his Nitai Roopa Dhyana for Harinama Siddhi that he has no interest in acquiring any followers, raising funds, or building preaching projects. He has settled down in one place to go deep in his bhajana. So he does not travel anywhere anymore either.

He sleeps on a wooden bed and eats very simply. He expressly avoids any kind of management activities as he tries not to forget his Nitai Roopa Dhyana for Harinama Siddhi even for a moment.

He prefers to dedicate all his daily time to long hours of the always-offenseless remembrance of Nitai's all-forgiving form for Harinama Siddhi in the first half of the day. Then he humbly shares his deep insights in video, audio, and written form in the second half of the day here, on nitaikatha.com, and on his Telegram blog.

Bhaktiratna Sadhu Maharaja's Simple Life

His Detached Life

He does not force any of his teachings on anyone. Nor does he run after or canvass for new followers or money. He does not initiate new devotees anymore. He only shares his own personal bhakti-yoga experiences for those who are kindly interested in accepting his menial vani service to make their Harinama-chanting offenseless.

"I offer my prostrated obeisances in full surrender (namah om) unto one who is known (iti naamine) in this world (bhutale) as Shreemana (shrimate) Bhaktiratna Sadhu Maharaja, because he is very dear (preshthaaya) to Lord Nitai having taken full shelter of the lotus feet (paadaaya) of Lord Gauranga Krishna."

"He compassionately distributes (vitarine) the all-loving, all-forgiving, and all-offenses-destroying essence of all sound vibrations (shabda brahma) of Shambhu's and Nitai's names and forms freely to one and all for quickly attaining Harinama Siddhi through hearing and roopadhyana."
