Born in Germany, Sacinandana Swami sought out spiritual teachings when he was just a teenager. He felt drawn, knowing that earlier in his life he had been yearning and missing something he was not yet obtaining. For 42 years now, Sacinandana Swami has been a practicing monk in the bhakti tradition.

His contributions to the ways of meditation, spiritual music and spiritual teachings have made him well regarded among modern practitioners of bhakti and other spiritual communities. He is always on the move, traveling predominantly throughout Europe and Asia where he engages in spiritual retreats and, as an expert in Mantra Meditation, Sacinandana Swami leads joyful and soothing kirtan.

As a writer, Sacinandana Swami is also very well recognized. He has published 7 books, with more on the way. Many of his writings cover some of his personal pilgrimages, where he visits places such as the birthplace of Lord Krishna, different temples, and mountains.
