Michael Beloved (Madhv ch rya d s) took his current body in 1951 in Guyana. In 1965, while living in Trinidad, he instinctively began doing yoga postures and trying to make sense of the supernatural side of life. Later on, in 1970, in the Philippines, he approached a Martial Arts Master named Mr. Arthur Beverford, explaining to the teacher that he was seeking a yoga instructor; Mr. Beverford identified himself as an advanced disciple of r Rishi Singh Gherwal, an astanga yoga master. Mr. Beverford taught the traditional Astanga Yoga with stress on postures, attentive breathing and brow chakra centering meditation. In 1972, Madhv ch rya entered the Denver Colorado Ashram of Kundalini Yoga Master r Harbhajan Singh. There he took instruction in Bhastrika Pr y ma and its application to yoga postures. He was supervised mostly by Yogi Bhajan's disciple named Prem Kaur. In 1979 Madhv ch rya formally entered the disciplic succession of the Brahm -Madhava Gaudiya Samprad ya through Sw m Kirtanananda, who was a prominent sanny si disciple of the Great Vaishnava Authority r Sw m Bhaktived nta Prabhup da, the exponent of devotion to r Krishna. After carefully studying and practicing the devotional process introduced by r Sw m Bhaktived nta Prabhup da, Madhvacharya was inspired to do a translation and three commentaries to the Bhagavad G t . This led to his completion of this translation of the instructions to Uddhava, advisories which complete the course given to Arjuna. An easy-read English translation is published as Uddhava G t Explained. See less
