Srila Atulananda Acharya spent his youth traveling through various countries until he entered the University of Buenos Aires, Argentina, where he came into contact with the Gaudiya Vaishnava religion. He then decided to study the Vedic religion, taking His Divine Grace A.C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada as his spiritual master, and to devote his life to missionary activities. Subsequently he returned to Chile, where he settled in order to help with preaching the message of his spiritual master.

 

In 1977 Swami Ramakrishnananda met His Divine Grace Srila Atulananda Acharya, who became one of the first devotees to introduce Gurudev to the Vaishnava religion and to  give him guidance and instructions on the spiritual and religious path and in bhakti yoga.

With the painful departure of Srila Prabhupada in 1977, Srila Atulananda Acharya continued to travel to deepen his Vedic knowledge, and in the year 1985 he returned with his wife to Chile where he settled to devote himself to spreading the marvelous teachings of the Vedic culture.

He presently serves as a guru and initiating spiritual master, as well as being one of the leaders of the organization "Vrinda".
