You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

==Biography==

===Early life===
((More citations needed|sub-section|date=October 2009))
Thoudam Damodar was born in [[Toubul]], part of the [[Bishnupur district]], [[Manipur]], India, on 9 December 1937 to Sri Thoudam Yogendra Singh and Srimati Kanyahanbi Devi.<ref name = Chavda36 /> During World War II on 10 May 1942, the Japanese began bombing [[Imphal]], the Capital of [[Manipur]]. Yogendra Singh took his family to shelter in a barrack on the banks of the [[Yangoi river]]. In 1944, Yogendra died of [[typhoid]]. The war eventually came to end, his uncle Thoudam Ibomcha Singh struggled through tough times to support him and shortly thereafter Thoudam Damodar was separated from his mother and younger sister. His elder sister Srimati Ahanbi Devi began to look after him. As a young boy, he learned how to till the land left by his father to help maintain himself and his sister. In 1949, his sister got married and he was left alone. Not wanting to burden anyone, he used to cultivate paddy for his livelihood. Living through hardships, Thoudam Damodar planned to give up schooling. Seeing his adversity, Sri Thokchom Yadav Singh, his primary school teacher, approached his colleague Sri Thoudam Kerani Singh and requested to help Thoudam Damodar. Sri Thoudam Kerani Singh agreed, and Thoudam Damodar moved into Sri Kerani's home.

===Education===
Thoudam Damodar received his BSc with honours from [[Gauhati University]] in 1961, his [[Master of Technology]] degree with honours from the [[University of Calcutta]] in 1964, his MSc in chemistry from [[Canisius College]], New York in 1969, and in 1974 completed his PhD in [[physical organic chemistry]] at the [[University of California, Irvine]].<ref name="metanexus" /><ref name = Singh4546 >((Harvnb|Singh|1988|pp=45–46))</ref> Since then he has been involved in dialogues with prominent scientists and religious leaders such as the [[Dalai Lama]] in the quest for a scientific understanding of the world through the [[vedantic]] [[paradigm]].<ref name = Singh37 >((Harvnb|Singh|1988|p=37))</ref>

===Spiritual service to ISKCON===
Thoudam Damodar Singh, then as a student at the University of California, Irvine<ref name = Bhatty16 /> had a very good friend in Ray Ramananda Dasa, who became a student of [[Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada]]. Ray Ramananda Dasa inspired T D Singh to meet Swami Prabhupada. After coming into contact with Swami Prabhupada and students of the [[International Society for Krishna Consciousness]], Thoudam Damodar received [[diksa|spiritual initiation]] from him at the ''Sri Radha Krishna Temple'' in Los Angeles, on 30 June 1971, and was given the name '''Svarupa Damodar Das''' (((IAST|Svarūpa Dāmodara dāsa))).<ref name = Bhatty16 >((Harvnb|Bhatty|1987|p=16))</ref> He studied the philosophy and practice of [[Vaishnavism]] for the following 8 years under the guidance of his spiritual master.<ref name = Bhatty16 /> Swami Prabhupada appointed Svarupa Damodar das as International Director of the [[Bhaktivedanta Institute]] in 1974<ref name = Bhatty16 /> and a member of Governing Body Commission in March 1977.<ref>Conversations (1,384 Tape Transcription) Room Conversation with GBC members - 2–3 March 1977, Mayapura</ref> In 1980 he took [[sannyasa]] from [[Kirtanananda Swami]]. In 1982 he became an [[Diksha|initiating]] spiritual master and began to accept disciples.<ref name = Muster192 /> During his life, he provided a spiritual guidance to over a thousand of his disciples around the world.<ref name="metanexus" /> He is well known as Srila Bhaktisvarupa Damodara Goswami Maharaja (also known as Srila Sripad Maharaja and Dr. T.D.

(Science and Scientist)"<ref>((Cite web |url=http://scsiscs.org/conference |title=Archived copy |access-date=9 November 2014 |archive-date=9 November 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141109205637/http://scsiscs.org/conference/ |url-status=dead ))</ref> under the guidance of Sripad Bhakti Madhava Puri Maharaja, Ph.D. (Serving Director, Bhakti Vedanta Institute, Princeton, NJ, USA).
