Conversion to Vaishnavism
[edit]Resnick was first introduced to Gaudiya Vaishnavism in 1969 when he attended a lecture by ISKCON founder Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. Thereupon, he left his education and settled in the Hare Krishna ashram in Berkeley and joined the formation. He received initiation from Prabhupada on February 8, 1970 and given his Sanskrit name "Hridayananda Dasa". He became a sannyasi in 1972 and received the title "Goswami".
Preach in Latin America

Under Hridayananda's leadership, ISKCON in Brazil and other Latin American countries experienced a period of rapid growth, with Vaishnava temples opening in many major cities. He became a guru in July 1977.
Writing and translation activities

He later adapted the ancient Indian epic Mahabharata into a historical novel. His book "A Comprehensive Guide to Bhagavad-Gita With Literal Translation" was published in 2015.
