My Family

I started my Grihastashram (family life) marrying to Madhusmita Sahoo (Seema) on 1st June 2005.

We blessed our first son named “Priyashraba” on 20th July 2007. The name Priyashraba comes from the verse of Srimad Bhagavatam:

Pragayatah swaviryani tirthapadah priyashravah |
Ahuta iva me shighram darshanam yati chetasi ||

the meaning of Priyashraba is - Pleasing to hear. This is just the next word of Tirthapada (the name of my elderbrother’s son) means – Lord Whose Lotus feet is the source of all virtues or holiness. We blessed our 2nd son named “Punyasloka” on 1st November 2012. The name Punyasloka comes from the verse of Srimad Bhagavatam [SB 10.64.27-28]:

Deva-deva jagan-natha govinda purushottama|
Narayana hrishikesa punya-sloka-cyutavyaya ||
Anujanihi mam krishna yantam deva-gatim prabho |
Yatra kvapi satas ceto bhuyan me tvat-padaspadam ||

The meaning of Punyasloka is - the sacred verse. Like Priyashraba this is alos one of the famous name of Lord Krishna.
