The host for Gita Wisdom is Joshua M. Greene. In 1970, at age twenty, he was initiated as Yogesvara dasa by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, founder-acharya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness. In 1982, after living thirteen years in ashrams of India and Europe, Yogesvara returned to New York and started a career in film, producing children’s programs for The Disney Channel and PBS. In 1995, he became Director of Programming for Cablevision, the nation’s sixth largest cable television provider. From 1999 to 2002 he served as Senior Vice President at Ruder Finn, an international communications firm, where he advised faith communities on their role in peacekeeping initiatives.
