Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Prabhup¿da ¿r¿ K¿nupriya Gosw¿m¿ (1891-1975) was a Vai¿¿ava saint, guru, and practitioner of Krishna Bhakti, coming in the lineage (parivara) of ¿r¿ Nity¿nanda Prabhu via ¿r¿ K¿nu ¿h¿kura. As a result of his comprehensive and illustrious deliberation on the Holy Name in his book titled '¿r¿ N¿ma Cint¿mäi, ' he was awarded the title of N¿ma Vijñ¿n¿c¿rya - "Realized Teacher of the Holy Name," by the Vai¿¿avas of ¿r¿ Navadv¿p Dh¿ma. No one in the history of Caitanya Vai¿¿avism has received a title with this level of veneration and respect since the original Harin¿ma ¿c¿rya ¿r¿la Harid¿sa ¿h¿kura. He was an authentic Vai¿¿ava who lead a humble and pure life, and while he certainly could have established big temples, as well as an organization and such, he clearly understood and avoided the trappings of money and followers.
