At present, His Grace is considered to be the youngest devotee scholar preaching internationally in the ISKCON world at the age of only 23 years who started his active preaching carrier at the age of 17 years in 2004. His Grace took his material education initially in Bharat and then in Los Angleles, U.S.A. He studied only up to 10th class and terminated the pursuit of material studies from that point.

His personal e-mail address is: radhakrishnadas.gkg@gmail.com and his conference is: groups.google.com/group/shrivishvavaishnavarajasabha. However, the most illustrious remarkable speciality of His Grace's dicourses and personality is that he is an original thinker and philosopher, presents Gaudiya Vaishnava doctrine in an unprecedented and unique way with acute logic and sharp memory, philosophizes in a dialectical style of debate, harmonizes various controversial and mutually contradictory subjects of the scriptures . In the official words of H.G. Radheshyamdas Brahmachari Prabhu {(RNS) [the honourable Temple President of ISKCON of Pune, Maharashtra, Bharat & the universally accepted champion of intellectual youth preaching within ISKCON ]} while communicating with H.G. Rajsuyadas Prabhu , His Grace Radhakrishnadas Prabhu can be described thus: "One speciality of his lectures is that he is able to logically and systematically clarify some of the finest questions one may have in scriptures like 'aham vetti sukho vetti, vyasa vetti na vetti va' verse. He is a blessed child you've gifted to the vaishnava community and I am sure his contribution will be written in golden letters in the history of Gaudiya vaishnava culture."
