Swami Nikhilanand is a disciple of Jagadguru Shree Kripalu Ji Maharaj, speaking all over the US about various aspects of Hinduism and the path of bhakti. He has an immense understanding of Sanatan Dharm and a unique ability to capture his audience (adults and children alike) with the scientific and logical basis of the universal principles of Hinduism, devotion and meditation.

Devotees relaxed with Swami Nikhilanand at one of the Jagadguru Kripalu Parishat New York centers today and enjoyed music lessons in dholak and singing of kirtan from Shree Swamiji. 

Swami Nikhilanand Ji's Narad Bhakti Darshan lecture series, based on the lecture series by Jagadguru Shree Kripalu Ji Maharaj, continues each night at the Hanuman temple, New York, and will culminate with a grand Krishna Janmashtami celebration on August 28th from 6:00 pm to 12:00 am (midnight). Here are a few glimpses of the spell-binding lecture series:
