HG Adi Gadadhar Das is a medical doctor by profession and originally from Mumbai. He was introduced to Krishna consciousness by Gaur Gopal Prabhu in 1998 at the age of 18 years old while studying at Grant medical college and JJ hospital, Mumbai. He joined ISKCON chowpatty and took initiation by HH Radhanath Swami Maharaj. 

He has also completed the Bhakti Shastri course taught by Chaitanya Charan prabhuji.

When prabhuji took his brahman diksha from HH Radhanath Swami Maharaj, he asked his guru if he had any instructions for him. Maharaj asked him to share the sweetness of Krishna's pastimes as much as he could. He has taken that instruction to heart and is a speaker who is eagerly sought after to speak on Krishna lila and Chaitanya lila.

He lives in Atlanta Georgia with his wife Radhabhava Mataji, herself a medical doctor and two children Gopal and Maithili. In his profession, he has been on the front lines of fighting covid-19. He serves as the congregation director of ISKCON, Atlanta, where he brings together many exalted speakers for the inspiration of their congregation.

Both he and his wife are exceptional devotees with a personal practice of bhakti that is deep, and a humility and sweetness that deeply touches the heart of every person who comes into the contract with them. They love to serve devotees and hear about Krishna as much as they can.
