Vishnujana Swami (1948-1976) was a disciple of His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, and a sannyasi within the International Society for Krishna Consciousness. Even though he is presumed to have died in 1976 he has continued to be a well-known figure around the world through recordings of his singing of the Hare Krishna mantra and his historical position as a preacher in the early days of the movement.
Vishnujana Swami took birth on June 2, 1948, in San Jose, California. At the age of seventeen he moved to San Francisco along with his long-term girlfriend, who he married in 1966. It was also in 1966 that Vishnujana first came into contact with the Hare Krishnas, and by 1968 he had received initiation from Srila Prabhupada and was a full-time member of the movement. By July 20, 1970, Srila Prabhupada had awarded Vishnujana the order of sannyasa.
Vishnujana was especially well known for his singing voice, and skill at playing instruments, such as the mridangam (drum). (From Wikapedia)
