Old iMonk Archive: 2003-2011

This used to be the main iMonk Archive page until July 2011, when the layout and format changed: blogs previously listed by Year & Month are now archived by Year & Tag. This page is preserved to document the blog's history, and to function as a site map for mobile devices.

Enter the iMonk — Year One 2003  

A Silicon Valley network administrator abruptly quits his job in March, gives up his possessions, and flies to India to become an itinerant monk — to be initiated as a sannyasi by Srila Bhakti Sundar Govinda Maharaj. Instructed to travel and preach, the iMonk spends the next nine months in Russia, Siberia, Ukraine, Turkey, England, and South Africa.

Year Two 2004  

After becoming an itinerant monk early in March 2003 — when he was initiated as a sannyas disciple of Srila Bhakti Sundar Govinda Maharaj — Akinchan Maharaj continues to travel and preach. Follow the iMonk across four continents during his second year as a traveling preacher — to India, Russia, the Ukraine, the USA, Venezuela, and Mexico.

Year Three 2005  

Following his guru's instruction to travel and preach, the iMonk visits four continents again this year (spending more time in fewer cities) as he continues to try to inspire all who wish to hear — in Europe, Asia, and the Americas — that beautiful Krishna conception of Divinity that he received from his gurus.

Year Four 2006  

While he again visits four continents this year, after the iMonk returns from Venezuela in the latter half of January he spends most of the year in the holy association of his gurudeva, Srila Govinda Maharaj — six months in India, and two months in Russia with his guru's entourage during His Divine Grace's 22nd World Tour.

Year Five 2007  

After six months in the United States, the iMonk travels to India to get the association, blessings, and sanction of his guru, before beginning a South African lecture-tour of the cities of Durban and Johannesburg.

Year Six 2008  

Free to travel again after getting his travel documents in order, in the latter half of the year the iMonk returns to the Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math on the banks of the sacred Ganges River, in Navadwip, India.

Year Seven 2009  

A lean year for the iMonk... Very little travel, and consequently, even less blogging this year — sorry!

Year Eight 2010  

A sad year — the year in which our beloved Srila Gurudeva, His Divine Grace Srila Bhakti Sundar Govinda Dev-Goswami Maharaj disappeared from our limited vision.

Year Nine 2011  

Getting to know, serve, and appreciate the new Sevaite-Acharya of Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math, Srila Gurudeva's foremost disciple and successor, His Divine Grace Srila Bhakti Nirmal Acharya Maharaj.
