Dear Devotees,
Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
We write with a heavy heart to acknowledge the departure of His Holiness Badrinarayan Swami, who left this world on 26 February 2026 in the sacred land of Sri Vrndavana Dhama.
By the NA Regional Governing Body, His Holiness will be especially remembered for his long-standing service as a member of the Governing Body Commission in North America, a responsibility he carried for many decades with seriousness and resolve. He consistently demonstrated deep loyalty to Srila Prabhupada’s mission and a strong sense of responsibility for the health and stability of ISKCON in this region.
Badrinarayan Swami was known for his clarity, directness, and principled leadership. He did not shy away from difficult issues and spoke with conviction when he felt the integrity of ISKCON or Srila Prabhupada’s intentions were at stake. At the same time, he took genuine interest in the welfare of devotees and leaders, encouraging accountability, cooperation, and fidelity to foundational principles.
Even in the face of declining health, His Holiness continued to engage actively in his duties, offering thoughtful input and remaining fully committed to his service. His determination, intellectual rigor, and personal discipline left a lasting impression on those who served alongside him.
That he was able to depart this world in Lord Krsna’s own abode of Vrndavana stands as a powerful testament to the mercy he received from Srila Prabhupada and the Supreme Lord.
We offer our respectful obeisances and heartfelt gratitude to His Holiness Badrinarayan Swami, a devoted disciple of Srila Prabhupada and a steadfast guardian of ISKCON. We pray that his example of dedication and integrity will continue to guide and inspire us. We also extend our prayers to his family, disciples, and well-wishers during this time of loss.
Your servants,
NA RGB EC, on behalf of ISKCON NA RGB
