Swami Balendu was born on 14th October 1971 in Vrindavan. His Father Balakram Sharan is a famous preacher and, spiritually, a very advanced personality. He has devoted all his life to spiritual pursuits, to the raising of moral standards and to spreading the message of universal truth and spiritual knowledge. Swami Ji's grandfather Sri Bindu ji was a widely known speaker, scholar, writer, musician and poet. He was invited several times by Mahatma Gandhi to give lectures. Goswami Sri Bindu ji Maharaj gave lectures where up to two Million people attended. Therefore Swami ji was very much blessed to grow up in this atmosphere of deep spirituality. Furthermore this environment created an indelible imprint in the mind and heart of Balendu.
Learning from his father, Swami Ji gave his first spiritual lectures at the tender age of 9. Until the age of 25 he travelled throughout India, giving lectures in front of many followers and disciples. He spent time periods of up to three months practicing maun, silence, sometimes retreated in a forest and sometimes in normal daily life.
