Shyamdas (1953-2013), author, teacher, kirtan singer and beloved friend to so many, traveled to India in 1972 to meet the saint Maharaji Neem Karoli Baba and fell in love with Braj, the land of Radha Krishna lila. Shyamdas's devotional life further blossomed under the guidance of his guru, Goswami Shri Prathameshji, head of the Pushtimarga Pratham Peeth. Since the 1980s, Shyamdas's insightful translations have brought the spiritual writings of the Pushti bhakti masters to life for English readers around the world.
