Govindaraju’s expertise is in Artificial Intelligence (AI), and his seminal work in handwriting recognition was at the core of the first handwritten address interpretation system used by the U.S. Postal Service. He has led several sponsored research projects totaling almost $100 million, funded by high-tech companies and federal agencies.

after completing his education and kick-starting his career at Siemens, he realized he had a different calling. He followed in the footsteps of his father, the late Pandit Bishnupersad Tewarie (1929-1981), and became a Hindu priest following the teachings of the Sanatan Dharm.
In recent decades, Pandit Tewarie has been committed to the Hindu community in Europe with great enthusiasm and dedication. He has also not forgotten his roots in India and Suriname, by regularly organizing yagyas, attending conferences and contributing to the world-famous spiritual Kumbh Mela. In Suriname, Panditji organized the Shri Ganesh Festival on the banks of the Suriname River in 2012 and 2015. In honor of his work for the society, he was awarded the honorary title of “Brahmrishi” by the World Brahman Foundation in India in 1994.
Panditji likes to share knowledge about Hinduism with anyone who is open to it; in the neighbourhood, in the mandir and in the media, for example via the well-listened to Radio Amor. He is a 'bridge builder' and regularly surrounds himself with representatives of other philosophies and religions so that mutual understanding and respect grow. For example, he is peace ambassador of the United Peace Federation and in that role visited South Korea and Israel to experience complex interreligious issues up close. In 2007 he led a group of volunteers to set up a special exhibition about Hinduism in the World-museum in Rotterdam. He is also one of the first priests to provide spiritual care in prisons of the Ministry of Justice and Security. His big dream came true when a renovated Mandir Sewa Dhaam, with traditional Indian architecture, opened its doors in 2013. Pandit Tewarie has propagated the Bhagwad gita in the Dutch prison with interfaith inmates for the return to Dutch society
Shri Brahmrishi Surindre Tewarie is currently one of the most prominent leaders of the European Hindu community. In 2014 he was decorated by the deputy mayor of the municipality of The Hague as "Ridder in de Orde van Oranje-Nassau". In 2018 he received the title “Ved Vyash” at the prestigious Veda-Mantra-Yantra-Tantra congress in India.

His books and lectures on ethics, values and Gita have become a chaperon to many.  Along with myriad ways in which he has tried to help the society, his efforts augur a virtuous generation of driven countrymen with a clear direction in life. Devoted to the divine ideas of meditation, service and dedication to humanity (satsang, sewa and sumiran) they founded GIEO organisation. He has been teaching practical benefits of meditation and prayers and dealing with the problems and their solutions in day-to-day life since 1990, inspiring and transforming lives. This transnational organisation has been aimed at bringing about a change much required in the society. Standing amidst the crowd but still apart from it, serving mankind self-lessly and inspiring others to do so, enlightening thousands of lives are few of finest qualities that Swami Ji is blessed with. Gurudev has made spiritually a way of living .Distribution of free monthly food to widows , organizing polio operation camps, educating children in remote rural areas, establishment of cow homes, offering free medical services to saints of Vrindavana are only glimpses of noble deeds that are a part of his mission. His commitment to serve God by serving mankind is exemplary.
