Robert was initiated by Srila Prabhupada in New York, July, 1971[1], and given the name Harikesa dasa. After Prabhupada's death, Harikesa was one of eleven disciples selected to become an initiating guru.

Robert has been producing music that bridges the gap between Western music and Eastern Mantra since 1978. Robert has produced more than 28 albums (under the group names of Rasa, BLISS, Sri Hari, and presently as Hari).

In 1998, Harikesa Swami submitted his resignation from ISKCON, and his guru duties, to ISKCON's Governing Body Commission. His resignation was accepted at the GBC meetings in 1999[2]. Robert has been living in Florida U.S.A since January, 2004 [3], and has since married Katarina Campagnola (Kamalasundari devi dasi), who was previously one of his disciples in Sweden[4].
