BV Madhava Maharaja in the Bay Area Sat. - Sun June 14 & 15

[Bill Costello]

Dear Devotees of the Bay Area Sanga,

Please accept my dandavat pranams. All glories to Sri Sri Guru & Gauranga! All glories to Sri Sri Radha Govinda!

 

We are fortunate to have BV Madhava Maharaja visiting the Bay Area again this  year right before the Badger Harikatha festival. Madhava Maharaja served Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayana Maharaja, his siksa guru and priya-bandhu, as his personal servant for almost 30 years and has been a sannyasi in good standing for the last 25 years. He oversees several maths in India, including Kesavji Gaudiya Matha in Mathura which he has recently rebuilt from the ground up, and the Giridhari Gaudiya Matha in Govardhana. He is also an initiating spiritual master and has disciples all over the world.

Vaisnavadas anudas abhilasa,
Radhakanta das

“Everybody has a desire for their own happiness, their own pleasure. If somebody has less desire for his own happiness and pleasure, then we can say that he is a mahat, a great personality. But one who is completely forgetful, completely indifferent to his own happiness, is su-mahat, a very great personality. And those who are giving pleasure and enjoyment and happiness to Krishna at the cost of their own pleasure and happiness, are param-mahan, supremely great, incomparable, and all-worshipable. They are the gopīs.”
