• Pandit Pradeep Mishra is an Indian spiritual orator (kathavachak). He is a chief priest at the Kubreshwar Dham, Kubereshwar Mahadev Mandir, Sehore, Madhya Pradesh.

• During his childhood, his family faced various financial difficulties. Pandit Pradeep even did not have money to buy a dhoti which he could wear to his spiritual events. Someone then gifted him a dhoti and for many years, he had only one dhoti.

• As a kid, he used to accompany his parents to various spiritual events in his village. Gradually, he started inclining towards spirituality. Later, he started working as a pandit in his village and simultaneously, he worked as a teacher in a school. After working as a teacher for almost 10 years, he quit his job.

• He once shared that after leaving his job as a teacher, he started working full-time as a pandit in his village. He further shared how he started preaching Shrimad Bhagwat Katha. He said that a lady named Geeta Bai Prashar, who used to wash utensils in people’s houses once made a resolution that she would organise a Shrimad Bhagwat Katha at her home. After her husband’s demise, she made the resolution but due to the lack of money, she was not able to make arrangements for the katha. Pandit Pradeep then assured her that he would organise the Shrimad Bhagwat Katha at her home. The lady then politely refused him to do so and said that as he did not have any deeksha under some guru, so without proper knowledge, he should not become a preacher of Shrimad Bhagwat Katha. On her advise, Pandit Pradeep then went to Indore to take his deeksha under his guru Shree Govardhan Nath. In one of his kathas, he talked about his guru. He said,
  

  It was the Guru who taught us to wear dhoti. Guru gave a potli in my hand and said that wherever you do Katha, your pandal will never remain empty. It is by his grace that so many devotees come to my pandal.”

• After completing his deeksha in Indore, he returned to his village and started reciting Shrimad Bhagwat Katha at various spiritual events in small pandals. A few years later, he started developing an interest in Shiva Purana. In 2020, during the COVID-19 lockdown, on his YouTube channel Pradeep Ji Mishra Sehore Wale, he uploaded a Shiva Purana katha for the first time. The video gained immense popularity. He then uploaded more Shiva Purana katha videos on his YouTube channel, and soon he gained millions of subscribers on his channel.
