Walther Eidlitz (1892 - 1976), also called Vāmana dāsa. In pursuance of his interest in Indian religion and philosophy he had left his family in Germany in late 1930 and traveled to India in search of God. His wife loved him enough to honor his spiritual quest, the fruit of which he would share with her years later upon his return. As a Jew from Germany he spent time in an internment camp in India during the Second World War.[1] He has written about his spiritual journey in his book Journey to Unknown India.[2]

From India he merged from the myriad of India’s spiritual paths on the bhakti marg, the path of devotion as taught by Sri Chaitanya.[3]

He was initiated into Gaudiya Vaishnavism by Bhakti Hridaya Bon Swami.
