Bhakti Gopananda Bon Maharaj
president
Gopananda Bon Maharaj is a distinguished disciple of Srila Bhakti Hriday Ban Maharaj, who was one of the pioneering figures in preaching in colonial England and Nazi Germany.
Appointed as the fourth Acharya of the Radha Govinda Trust, he traveled globally, sharing his knowledge and recording inspiring bhajans.
After the passing of Srila Bhakti Balabh Tirtha Maharaj, the Vaishnava community unanimously chose Gopananda Bon Maharaj, the senior-most Vaishnava, to accept the presidency of the World Vaishnava Association (WVA). At 96, he remains an active force, continually urging us toward unity and the realization of our shared goals.
