Bhaktimarga Swami | Harvard Bhakti Yoga Conference | Episode 107

Bhaktimarga Swami, born in Chatham, Ontario, Canada, is also known as The Walking Monk for having trekked four times across Canada.  Keeping with the spirit of pilgrimage, he also crossed the USA, Israel, Ireland, Guyana, Trinidad, Mauritius, and the Fiji Islands.  Documentation of his Canadian walks is found in two films: The Longest Road, by the National Film Board of Canada, and Walking: The Lessons of the Road, by Michael Oesch.  The Walking Monk’s pilgrimages have also been covered by numerous international newspaper, radio, and television outlets. As a youth, Swami was a student of fine arts, but took to the life of a monk at age 20 in 1973.  Although pursuing monastic ways, he maintains artistic expression through morality theatre which takes him around the globe as a playwright and director – an opportunity to work with talented youth in various communities.  He has also published two books, The Saffron Path: Trekking the Globe with the Walking Monk, detailing his marathon walking adventures, and Poems .1, which explores spiritual, social, and walking culture.  Bhaktimarga Swami is also an instructor of Bhakti yoga, a leader of musical mantra meditation called Kirtan, and a speaker on the science of the self based on the ancient teachings of the Gita.
