About the Author

Nityanand Charan Das, now an author of national bestsellers Icons of Grace, Ask the Monk and Bound by Love is a practicing monk at Sri Sri Radha Gopinath Temple ISKCON Chowpatty Mumbai for the last 16 years who wishes to help the current urban scenario by aiding people in leading a life of purpose, fulfilment and satisfaction.

Coming from an army background, his childhood desire was to become an army officer. But Krishna had other plans for him and orchestrated his life beautifully. Life led him to fail the NDA interview despite being one of the best in the group, to being an engineer instead, and eventually, becoming a monk when he was just 24.

His divine radiance can be felt far and wide: his lectures are heard in every major city of India and in more than 50 countries across the globe.
