Anthony Mailloux / Śrī Avirhotra Dāsa

Anthony is an interfaith minister currently completing his Master of Divinity at Perkins School of Theology (SMU). His spiritual path began in the Episcopal Church and later led him to Buddhist practice, where he raised his children. In 2016, he made vows in the Bhakti Yoga tradition, receiving the name Śrī Avirhotra Dāsa.

Anthony’s experiences in interfaith ministry have led him to a deep commitment to responsible dialogue and collaboration across faith traditions. He believes in the power of unity and love over debates about who is right or holy. For Anthony, the true essence of ministry lies in working together to serve others, transcending theological differences to build communities centered on compassion and collaboration.
