About Me:

I graduated from college in 1970 with a BA, came to NY to join the poetry scene, met Ginsberg, Corso, and a few others. But I was disillusioned with the Beat Poetry scene and joined in NY where I was initiated by Srila BV Swami Prabhupada in 1972. I took siksa from Srila Bhakti Raksaka Sridhara Maharaja in 1980-1988 when I felt ISKCON was not following Prabhupada properly, then came to Srila BV Narayana Maharaja in 1990 influenced by my old NY buddy, Prana Kisora (Preraka) to collect for Sri Rupa-Sanatana Gaudiya Math. My main service with Prabhupada was traveling sankirtana and book distribution. With Srila Sridhara Mahraja, I edited Sri Guru and His Grace and served mainly in Greenwich, England for more than 5 years. With Srila Gurudeva, I have worked on editing on various books, helping found the Rays of the Harmonist along with Kaliya Damana under the inspiration of Srila Gurudeva. At present, Visnudaivata Maharaja and I are putting the final touch on Brhad Bhagavatamrta. By everyone's kind grace upon me, Gurudeva will be pleased. When I am in America, Badger is my home, in India, Nabadvipa and Vrndavana are my two loves. Thanks everyone for the good association these years with Gurudeva!

On Srila B.R. Sridhara (deva) Gosvami Maharaja

I have always thought it would help devotees to approach Srila Gurudeva in an easier way by also
reading the books of Srila Sridhara Maharaja.
There seems to be various opinions and camps on this.

One camp says, "We will get everything through Srila Gurudeva, no NEED to read Srila Sridhara Maharaja's books..."
Another camp says, "No time to read Srila Sridhara Maharaja's books. I have to first read all of Srila Gurudeva's books..."
Another camp goes so far as to say, "… Continue

The Art of Proofreading

This was seen on the Internet. It deals with the shortcomings of completely relying on a "spell checker" for our articles...or proofreading in general for that matter...

Spell Checker

Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.

Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.

As soon as a mist ac… Continue

As kali yuga is progressing many bizarre things are happening! Please listen to this! Few days ago in Jagannatha temple in Puri one lady commit suicide in special sanktum wright in the garden where Lord Jagannatha dieties are residing in samadhy! As the story goes we see specially in India now days that I am god you are god we all are gods or small gods /viz indian cricketers/so she may thinks like ways or I become god and reside with Lord in his kingdom in his beautiful garden but only what she gets is that she was air lift over high wall of Jagannatha temple to swargadwar and if she is very lucky she may get ghost body to start with! So please do not tried to become god rather become nice and good davotee!!
Namaskar Markandeyarishi das

At 2:59pm on December 23, 2008, markandeyarishi said…: It's nice to meet you and have your association so let's prevent drops ofnectar from ever drying up by throwing it to the ocean of loving devotion and upon reflection we are going to treat the disease that is causing the entire world to suffer.In today`s world,it is indeed we who generate our own endless desires and feelings of scarcity which are the root of our own vociferous complaints.So what is the solution to all problems and "HOW CAN ONE ATTAIN PEACE" in the world of constant struggle filled with restlessness and fear? Observing ocean we have seen that although countless rivers flow into it,ocean never overflows!.Similarly,various desires flow into the mind of one who is fixed in transcendence,yet his equilibrium is never disturbed.Such a person alone can attain peace,not he who strives always to fulfill his desires.Here fixed in transcendence means exactly the one who is "completely surrender" to Sri GURU! Why? Because that supreme creator and maintainer can be fined in this world.in the heart of Sri Guru.True him you can link yourself with supreme-self.and with loving devotion we can understood that our actual perception of ourselves has awakened fully. At that time we can execute our duty properly and all problems of the world can be resolved!! Yours in service Markandeyarishi das
