At a very early age he became an expert in Sanskrit grammar and Hindu philosophy. Throughout his life he defied the caste system and preached Love and Devotion to Radha and Krishna.
He composed the most popular bhajan mantra

हरे कृष्ण हरे कृष्ण... कृष्ण कृष्ण हरे हरे | 
हरे रामा हरे रामा... रामा रामा हरे हरे... 

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna Hare Hare...
