I am Tapo Divyam Dasa (Tapio Paljakka), Temple President (since 2013) and Regional Secretary (since 2014) from the Finnish Yatra. I was born on January 11, 1971, and received my first initiation in 2002 and my second initiation in 2007 by His Holiness Danavir Goswami. I hold a Master’s degree in engineering science from the University of Lappeenranta, a Bachelor’s degree in Vaishnava Theology from the Bhaktivedanta College, Budapest, and a Teacher’s degree from the University of Helsinki. Since 2006, I have been teaching Krishna Consciousness as a subject of religion in the Finnish educational system.
