- A childhood spent in the sacred temples of India. A teenage descent into the violent world of organized crime. A near-death experience that changed everything. This is the raw, eye-opening story of Govinda Das-a former gang enforcer who found his way back to the spiritual path through Krishna’s grace.
Join Raghunath as he dives into Govinda’s gripping journey from a strict Vaishnava upbringing to the dangerous streets of Chicago, where he was drawn into one of the world’s most notorious gangs. Discover how years of violence, drugs, and survival eventually led him back to the teachings of bhakti and the transformative power of chanting the holy name.
🔑 Key Highlights:
✨ The hidden connection between gang loyalty and the search for belonging.
✨ How addiction, trauma, and violence led to a desperate plea to Krishna.
✨ The near-fatal accident that sparked a life-changing spiritual awakening.
✨ Why community and association can make or break one’s path in life.
Govinda’s story is a testament to the power of bhakti yoga to reclaim even the most lost souls. His raw honesty and hard-won wisdom offer profound lessons on karma, free will, and the undeniable mercy of Krishna.

Stay strong Govinda! You are a good man and life flies past very quickly. Jaya Mayapur Dham! Jaya Nrsinghadeva! 😊
What a guest! So glad to see Govinda Das happy and settled. "Would they take me? Am I too old?" Raghunath! 😂😂😂
The Sanyas and the monasteries do not stand for the desperate and those that want to spend the old age after having enjoyed the worldly pleasures.
Got it
It is the system by the Adi Shankara Acharya.
This vaisnava is so dedicated to Radha Madhava. I've seen him here in the temple in Mayapur every day for the past eight months now.
radhe radhe

Hello Swamiji.
Not all the and majority of Indians dream of going over to the US, except the few
😅 comon. People do want to go may be not settle
I was run over 3 years ago and almost killed with a brachial plexus injury in my right arm and the only reason why I survived is thanks to Mahadeva who I love more than myself
Aum Namah Shivaya
Why don't you shut up a bit and let him talk freely??
Why don't you just let him talk??? You can step back sometimes, Ragu
It's deeply rooted, I'm afraid. But we love him as he is ❤️
It’s because of his energy, the interviewers feel safe to be vulnerable and share their lives with us❤ thank you Raghunath to be who you are.
From everything I can see, devotees with beards, mustaches, non- regulation Tulsi beads, tattoos, karmi clothes....... IF PRABHUPADA CAME BACK TODAY, HE WOULDNT RECOGNISE ISCKON.
Krsna conscious is what makes you one with nature
