He is a member of the Governing Body Commission and is the leader of ISKCON in South Africa, the Baltic states and Russia.
Bhakti Chaitanya Swami was born as Richard Naismith on August 14, 1951 in Auckland, New Zealand. In 1972 he first met ISKCON's founder A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada in Auckland University. A year later he joined ISKCON in London and received initiation from Swami Prabhupada, who gave him a sanskrit name Raghubhir Dasa. Later he became involved in public relations and book publication for Bhaktivedanta Manor.
Bhakti Caitanya Swami is closely associated with the educational programs of ISKCON and teaches courses at the Vaisnava Institute for Higher Education in Vrindavana. In 1994, during the Gaura Purnima Festival, he took the renounced order of sannyasa from Giriraja Swami and became Bhakti Caitanya Swami.
