Sri KrishNArpanamastu!

 

Welcome to the home page of Janardana Das, an American Vaishnava. It is

said that Vaishnavas never die, they just move on. That phrase so aptly

describes my Sat Guru, the late Hari kirtana master, Sadguru Sant

BhadragiriKeshavadas(1934-1997). (Madhwacharya Sampradaya, Hari

Dasakuta order), to whom this page is dedicated.

This website, which will be in a constant state of work, documents my

spiritual odyssey from my humble Midwestern beginnings, to life in the

U.S. military, until now. In these pages you will find photographic

documentation of my Badrinath-Rameswaram pilgrimage or yatra at age 28,

in 1990; an experience that has totally changed the course my life has

taken.

 

 

 

From the deep Himalayan valleys of Northern India near BadriNarayan, to

the sands of Kanya Kumari, rare photographs that are a feast for the

eyes can be seen. Although this odyssey of mine has enabled me to cross

paths with many Maha Bhagavatas & mahatmas from various Hindu

traditions, it has more importantly, enabled me to deepen my love,

service, and devotion for the almighty Lord Sri Krishna, the ultimate

cause of all causes.
