Satish Sharma Jeffrey Armstrong (Kavindra Rishi) Benny Tillman & Sandi Graham From the streets of Detroit Michigan come an unlikely Yoga practitioner and teacher of Hindu Vedic Dharma - Renowned Author of The Bhagavad Gita Comes Alive: A Radical Translation - Jeffrey Armstrong Celebrates 75th Birthday VANCOUVER, BC, December 4, 2021 — Jeffrey Armstrong was an unlikely candidate to become a practitioner and teacher of the Hindu Vedic Dharma, yet for the last 52 of his 75 years, has spent mastering Vedic practices. Of Armstrong, The Times of India said “looks like a typical American till he opens his mouth.” Armstrong aka Kavindra Rishi, turns 75 on December 4th and has dedicated his life to learning about, practicing, and teaching Vedic and yogic wisdom. You could say that Armstrong is an unlikely Brahmin, not by birth, but by choice and training. “I am a person who chose to be entirely transformed by a thirst for truth and wisdom that was inherent in my nature,” said Armstrong. “From a very early age, I was linguistically precocious, and I constantly challenged all those around me with social and philosophical questions for which they had no reasonable answers.” Born in Detroit Michigan in 1946 to a Caucasian Christian family, Jeffrey Armstrong, entered a Vedic ashram at age 22 in North America and lived for 5 years as a celibate monk, serving his guru by editing the translations of Vedic texts. To this day he does not eat meat, use drugs, alcohol or any intoxicants and lives a Sattvic lifestyle as befits the principles of what he teaches. After the ashram, he married his first wife, had a child and went back to University for another degree in History & Comparative Religion. Additionally, he studied Jyotish with M.K. Ghandi for 2 years. He went on to work for Apple Computer in the Middle East and other tech companies in the United States. Armstrong spent 10 years as a corporate motivational speaker & comedian (St. Silicon) to fortune 500 companies at the beginning of the tech boom. At age 50, Armstrong left the corporate world and took a vow to only teach the Vedic knowledge for the remainder of his life. Now divorced, he fortuitously met and married Canadian Sandi Graham and together they have partnered in this journey. Jeffrey has worked with prominent Indian organizations to help with the revival of Sanatana Dharma culture by teaching at Hindu youth camps, universities, and civic centers throughout India, North America and Europe. He is the Founder of VASA, The Vedic Academy of Sciences & Arts, Co-Chair of the Vedic Friends Association and is active in the British Board of Dharmic Scholars. Today, one could say Armstrong is a Jyotishi by profession; a Vedanti or scholar of the Vedas by practice; a Kavi or poet by compulsion, disposition and training; and a Nirukti or etymologist by skill and disposition. Over the last 50 years, Armstrong has written thousands of poems about various aspects of Vedic Vidya (knowledge), as well as about the experience and implications of that knowledge landing upon one who was born with no connection what-so-ever to Bharat. “I began to write poetry at age 13 or perhaps I should say poetry began to write itself through me,” said Armstrong. “It’s as if it Saraswati takes over my pen and the whole poem just comes out in one download.” You will find Armstrong on the new weekly online TV show, Vedic Vidya, on the Citti Media channel on YouTube, and on his own YouTube channel, Jeffrey Armstrong. VASA Vedic Academy of Sciences & Arts is an online learning academy of Vedic wisdom offering a large curriculum of lectures on the Vedic teachings. Armstrong has authored numerous books on Vedic subjects. His most recent contribution is a decolonized version of the Bhagavad Gita called The Bhagavad Gita Comes Alive: A Radical Translation, which was a Best Book Award finalist at the American Book Fest. Published by VASA Publishing 2020 and soon to be released in India in spring 2022 by Rupa Publications. --- XKEeMzC7XG4 |
