Майкл Грант родился 10 апреля 1942 года в Портленде, Орегон. Там же прошло его детство и отрочество. После окончания Рид-колледжа, работал профессиональным джазовым музыкантом. С целью продолжения музыкальной карьеры переехал в Нью-Йорк, где в мае 1966 года впервые встретил Бхактиведанту Свами Прабхупаду (это произошло за три месяца до того, как Прабхупада основал Международное общество сознания Кришны (ИСККОН)). В сентябре того же года Майкл стал одним из первых учеников Прабхупады, получив от него духовное посвящение и имя на санскрите «Мукунда Даса». При содействии Мукунды в 1966 году был открыт храм ИСККОН в Нью-Йорке, а в 1967 году — храм в Сан-Франциско.
В 1982 году Мукунда Даса принял санньясу (уклад жизни в отречении в индуизме) и титул «госвами».[1] С 1980 по 1999 год Мукунда Госвами возглавлял в ИСККОН Министерство по связям с общественностью,[1] а с 1984 по 1999 год был членом Руководящего совета.[1] В 1986 году Мукунда Госвами стал одним из инициирующих гуру ИСККОН и начал принимать учеников.
С 2005 года Мукунда Госвами живёт в кришнаитской общине Нью-Говардхан в Новом Южном Уэльсе, где занимается написанием мемуаров о Прабхупаде и первых годах истории ИСККОН.
Литературная и публицистическая деятельность
Мукунда Госвами является автором и соавтором таких книг, как «Chant and be Happy… The Story of the Hare Krishna Mantra» (1982), «Coming Back: The Science of Reincarnation» (1982),[1] «The Higher Taste: A Guide to Gourmet Vegetarian Cooking and a Karma-Free Diet» (1983), «Divine Nature: A Spiritual Perspective on the Environmental Crisis»[1] (опубликована на русском языке под названием «Божественная природа: духовный взгляд на экологический кризис») и «Inside the Hare Krishna Movement: an Ancient Eastern Religious Tradition Comes of Age in the Western World» (2001).[1]
В период с 2001 по 2005 год Мукунда Госвами регулярно публиковался в The Hindustan Times — одной из крупнейших газет Индии.
