About Madhava
Madhava was born on October 1, 1973, on the island of Mauritius. He was five years old when his parents became fully committed Krishna devotees while staying at home and working at their jobs.
Straightaway, they gave him his first mridanga (Indian clay drum), and, motivated by them, Madhava chanted 4 rounds of japa every day until he was 13 years old. As a teenager, he rebelled. After some bumps and wild detours, his fascination with music led him, at the age of 18, to ask his parents to send him to Vrindavan, the holy city of Krishna. He hoped to join the kirtan party there.
In January 1992, on the very first day Madhava arrived in Vrindavan, he met Aindra das, the leader of the 24-hour kirtan, who asked him to join the kirtan party. Every day for the next 5 years, Madhava would play mridanga for Aindra das.
At the end of 1996, he went back to Mauritius. Barely two years later, Madhava returned to Vrindavan for a brief stay and, before leaving, received the instruction from Aindra das to “always chant Hare Krishna, even if you have to do it to the four walls, and never stop practicing your mridanga.”
