"The Master"
Krishna Dvaipayana Vyasa


Krishna Dvaipayana Vyasa also had a son born from Vatikaa named Sukadev. Sukadev recited from memory the history of the great Ksatriya kings to Pariksit Maharaj during a period of seven days and seven nights. That wonderful work is the ripened fruit of all the Vedic literature of which Krishna Dvaipayana Vyasa compiled. Vyasa was also present when his son Sukadeva narrated, what we call today, the Srimad Bhagavatam or Bhagwat for short. Thousands of saintly persons were present to hear the Bhagwat from the young 16 year old Saint. One such person was Suta Goswami who later at Naimisaranya recited the Bhagwat, for the benefit of all mankind.

In the spirit of the great masters like Viswamitra and Veda Vyasa, AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Maharaj spent many many years translating the Bhagwat into English from Sanskrit(the language of the Gods), then at an advanced age traveled around the world with the message of Vyasa to all those who would lend an ear. -AJD
