Madhav Dasa Rupanuga, a 12-year-old boy who lives in Mayapur with his parents, Acintya Caitanya Das and Dr. Shiromani Devi Dasi, recently distributed over 13,000 books in just six months. Acknowledged for his unwavering dedication, he was recently honored with a Chaitanya Charitamrita set from Vaisesika Dasa presented by Jayapataka Swami.
The catalyst for Madhav’s fervor is Vaisesika Dasa’s inspiring association. Madhava enthusiastically participates in the annual Puri/Mayapur/Vrindavan yatras led by Vaisesika Dasa, thereby witnessing firsthand the expert distribution of books.
His mother, Dr. Shiromani Devi Dasi, recounted a poignant moment that left an indelible mark on Madhav’s consciousness, “One incident deeply struck Madhav. At Puri, a beggar was sitting with his begging bowl. Vaisesika prabhu walked up to him, gave him a book, and asked for a donation. The beggar was so surprised because no one had ever asked him for a donation! The beggar gave Vaisesika prabhu everything he had collected that day! This was very inspiring for Madhav to see that books are for everyone.”
