He was raised with his older brother in the Skriporovsky Orphanage in the town of Maloyaroslavets in the Kaluga region. After completing his first year at the Kaluga Railway Technical School, he entered the First Moscow Artillery Preparatory School, then graduated from the Second Leningrad Artillery School and the F.E. Dzerzhinsky Military Engineering Academy. In 1965, he was demobilized from the Soviet Army for health reasons. He worked at various enterprises in the national economy.

He has published several collections: "Selected Works" (1999), "Spiritual Reflections" (2007), "Wonderful God in His Saints" (2011), and "I Want to Be Saved" (2014). All of Nikolai Kharitonov's poetry is devoted to spiritual themes. He has published the following poems: "Alexander Nevsky," "Redemption," "The Healing of Tiberius," "The Forerunner," "God the Same Yesterday, Today, and Forever," "The Shepherd," "I Want to Be Saved," "The Beautiful Bride of Christ," "The Ring of Christ," and "The First Step into Heaven (Monk)."

In 2016, the collection "Sacred Stalingrad" was published, dedicated to the heroes of the Great Patriotic War: Holy Archimandrite Kirill (Pavlov), fighter pilot Alexei Ivanovich Markov, and pediatrician Elena Petrovna Karaseva.

The current collection, "Hail Mary!", is dedicated to the life of the Mother of God on earth.
