Though born in an orthodox family of 32 generations of priests to the Kerala royal family, he himself was unconventional, defiant of tradition and positively iconoclastic in his view in the early days of his life. 

At a young age he renounced the world and undertook a seeking journey to the hills of the mystic Himalayas in search of spiritual life. While living a life of austerity in the caves of the Himalayas he studied under various spiritual masters and received their divine guidance.

By the arrangement of the Divine, he met his sat guru, Sri A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, in 1976 and received initiation from him on the holy appearance of Srimati Radharani. The outcome was a learned and humble teacher who understood and accepted the different facets of life with a spiritual awareness, who helped others to get a glimpse into eternal life of perennial joy while solving the problems of this world in the most practical manner.

Sri Atmatattva Das is a renowned authority on subtle sciences, vedic history and spiritual mysticism. He is a veritable walking encyclopedia of Indian scriptures. Individuals and spiritual institutions have been attracted by his astounding memory of texts, exceptional narrative skills and his intense dedication to preaching the message of Lord Krishna.

In 1976 he undertook a Padayatra (walking journey) across the length and breadth of India, which lasted for two years, educating children in the rural areas about spiritual life; and in 1991 he founded the Bhaktivedanta Academy for educating society in the ancient spiritual sciences found in the Vedic literatures. At present he travels throughout South India conducting courses on the Vedic teachings, helping to respiritualize human society.
