Sri Vamsidasa Babaji by Bhakti Vikasa Swami

Śri Vamšīdäsa Babaji Mahärāja was a great

Vaisnava who lived in Navadvipa during the first

half of the twentieth century. His behavior was

so unusual that in any culture less spiritually

enlightened than India's, he almost certainly

would have been considered crazy. Although

physically present in this world, he had little

connection with it. He was about six feet tall and

strongly built. His hair and beard were uncut,

matted, and disheveled. He hardly ever bathed,

and his eyes looked wild. He wore only a simple

covering over his groin, and nothing more.

This book introduces us to a personality of such

extraordinary, inscrutable character that we

simply offer him obeisance and beg for his

mercy
