About William Ehrlichman
An alumnus of the State University of New York at Buffalo, Mr. William Ehrlichman has built a solid reputation as a devoted follower of Krishna and as a talented artisan since obtaining his Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. Initially accepted to the Wayne University School of Medicine, William Ehrlichman ultimately decided to dedicate his studies to the teachings of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON).
Initiated into ISKCON in 1969, William Ehrlichman played a key role in the establishment of three Vedic cultural centers in Bombay, India; Mayapura, India; Vrindavan, India; and Durban, South Africa, as well as a Vedic art school near Florence, Italy. Completely dedicated to spreading Krishna consciousness around the world, William Ehrlichman recorded a number of Sanskrit mantras on CDs that have been distributed globally. William Ehrlichman headed the Bhaktivedanta Book Trust, where he printed ancient Vedic texts into six European languages.
After more than a decade in ISKCON, William Ehrlichman departed in the 1980s to pursue a more private life. In 1994, William Ehrlichman combined his knowledge of ancient architecture with his considerable artistic talent to found Terrathena LLC. Naming his company after the Greek goddess of craft Athena, William Ehrlichman designs and manufactures customized fireplaces, sinks, tiles, wall hangings, and more. William Ehrlichman, heavily influenced by his extensive travels, crafts each design carefully out of fine materials such as copper, cast stone, tile, and bronze. Lauded for the intricacy and uniqueness of his work, William Ehrlichman received the ADEX Award for fireplace designs.
Beyond his professional pursuits, William Ehrlichman is an active member of his community. A regular contributor to Senior Adult Services, William Ehrlichman supports charitable organizations such as Meals on Wheels, Amnesty International, PETA, and the Natural Resources Defense Council.
