Heart Melting Kirtan By Srimad B V Muni Maharaj On Srila Gurudeva Vyasa Puja Malaysia 2009

About Srimad Bhakti Vedanta Muni Maharaj Srimad Bhakti Vedanta Muni Maharaj was born in 1973 in a Gaudiya Vaisnava family in Orissa, India. His parents were high-class Vaisnavas whose mercy from childhood gave him a deep impression in Krsna consciousness. Their house was none other than a Math or temple where aratikas, kirtans, reading the Puranas such as Srimad-Bhagavatam and so on, went on continuously throughout the year. Many high-class Vaisnavas joined there regularly without formal invitation. Therefore, from the beginning of his life, Maharaj had the chance to serve the Vaisnavas. Srimad Muni Maharaj has many unprecedented qualities in producing devotional music. He composed hundreds of traditional devotional songs that are widely appreciated around the world. He has given his music and voice to more than ten devotional albums, which are giving inspiration to countless devotees around the world. His albums are in Oriya, Bengali, Sanskrit and Hindi languages. He injects his own unique and creative inspiration into those albums. Without any formal education in music from any academic school or teacher he accomplished his devotional singing and skill in directing his devotional music. He firmly believes his aforesaid talent has been gifted by Sri Guru and Sri Krsna. Now presently he is traveling extensively in Western countries as well as in India, preaching the message of Srimad Bhagavad-gita and Srimad Bhagavatam by the order of his diksa and siksha Gurudevas. There is some speciality in his preaching that he can speak and sing according to the subject matter in order to invoke an attractive environment amongst the audience. He prefers to present devotional topics in this musical way rather than delivering lectures that are helpful in controlling the unsteady mind. He has translated and published a number of devotional books in the regional language. Srimad Muni Maharaj for twelve years has looked after his own preaching center, Sri Gour Govinda Gaudiya Ashram. After the aprakat-lila of Srila Gurudeva Bhaktivedanta Narayan Gosvami Maharaj in late 2010, the succeeding years became difficult for him to maintain the Ashram in his separation, and most of the time he stayed in Sri Vrindavan Dham. Therefore he decided to reside in Vraj Mandal in early 2012. In his ashram “Radha Govinda Asram" in Radha-Kunda, the most holy pilgrimage place in the world, Srimad BV Muni Maharaj gives intensive training to bramacharis in serving the eternal divine couple Sri Radha-Krsna. An increasing number of spiritual seekers, new devotees from around the globe come to him for guidance. Upon invitations he travels within India and abroad to spread the message of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. He continues inspiring people with his preaching activities and his deep soul-searching devotional songs that have become his trademark for the pleasure of Sri Radha-Krishna and his Guru-varga.
