Consciousness (commonly known as the Hare Krishnas) Born in Germany, he

Prabhupada, in 1972 in Hamburg and is well known throughout ISKCON for
his kirtana and his lectures.
EARLY YEARS
During his early years within ISKCON, Sacinandana Swami
performed the service of translating Prabhupada’s books from the English
language into Germna. After some time he joined the main sankirtana (book

congregational preaching throughout Germany especially and also other
countries within Northern Europe. The Gauranga

Sacinandana Swami helped start various farm communities and projects
around Europe, including the Goloka
Dhama project in
Germany.
