Bhagavatam: The Best Friend

About This Event

About HH SB Keshava Maharaja

From the young age of 15, Keshava Maharaja became interested in spirituality. Growing up in the London suburbs, Maharaja always gravitated towards simplicity, minimalism and solitude, this led him to the devotees in ISKCON London, Bhaktivedanta Manor and there he was introduced to Bhagavad-gita. The usual measures of success – titles, achievements, status symbols and material security never moved his heart and after graduating from University College London (UCL), Keshava Swami became a 21-year-old monk and continues that journey over two decades later.

For over 25 years, he has pursued his spiritual journey and studied ancient Sanskrit texts, resulting in the authorship of 10 books and the design of more than 50 courses. His teachings bridge ancient spiritual wisdom with modern-day life, inspiring people to tackle complex challenges with clarity and resilience, what we call as Wisdom that Breathes.

In 2022, he co-founded Think Gita (www.thinkgita.org), which is now the fastest-growing online portal for learning the Bhagavad-gita in a powerful, exciting and life-changing way.

Join us for an inspiring and heart-touching session with HH S.B. Keshava Maharaj as he explores the timeless wisdom of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam and how it reveals the Lord as our true and eternal friend.

Through the stories, teachings and wisdom of the Bhāgavatam, Maharaj will help us discover how we can deepen our relationship with Krishna and learn to see His presence and guidance in every circumstance of life.
