Gaur Gopal Das was born in 1973. His exact birth details such as where and which date he was born are unknown but our curiosity for his personal life renders insignificant when we listen to his sound advice on living life. He is an Electrical Engineer by profession. He had obtained a bachelor’s degree from the College of Engineering in Pune in 1995.

After his brief stint with Hewlett Packard, he decided that he wanted to become a monk and life coach. In 1996, he joined ISKCON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness), Mumbai and has been a lifestyle counsellor ever since. 

A disciple of His Holiness Radhanath Swami, Gaur Gopal Das is a senior monk at ISKCON Mumbai now. Gaur Gopal Das has been the keynote speaker at many prestigious colleges, inspiring students to have a healthier way of living.

Not just colleges but he also guides people at corporate offices. He has guided the employees of companies such as Infosys, Barclays, Bank of America, EY, Ford, Macintosh and so on. His active presence on social networking sites like Facebook makes him accessible and popular to all alike.

His own original profession acts as an aid to understand the lives of those whom he gives inspirational speeches to, hence obtaining his popularity. He is the monk who “HAM-med it up!” as he said in a National HRD Network conference in Bengaluru that, “We have to move from HRM to human asset motivation (HAM).

We have to treat people as assets and motivate them beyond just earning money.” The audience left in awe and was simultaneously also in splits when he cracked a few jokes such as giving an example for an oxymoron to be ‘happily married’.
