New Delhi, December 03: Born in Durgapur, West Bengal, to parents Santosh Pramanik and Sinchita Pramanik, Krishnarghya is undoubtedly a genius. Currently seven years old, Krishnarghya showed signs of intelligence and the willingness to learn at a very early age.
At the age of six months, he was given two choices – gold or a book and pen, as part of a family ritual. Gold herein symbolizes greed while the book and pen represent knowledge. Krishnarghya made a wise choice and picked up the book and pen, and has been making his parents proud ever since. His first award was the 700-verse translated version of the Bhagavad Gita written by none other than A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the founder of ISKCON. Krishnarghya won the Gita in a competition organized by ISKCON itself and won it at the tender age of four when he was the youngest participant in the under-16 group.
Right from the start, Krishnarghya showed signs of a high level of intellect and the ability to grasp large amounts of information. At the age of two, he was able to remember everything he heard. He could remember and recite the names of several countries, objects, shapes, numbers, etc. He also showed an inclination toward several interesting topics such as the Solar System, riddles, Geography, Chess, and many more.
Krishnarghya is so gifted and eager to learn that his parents aptly call him a philomath. He has received great encouragement and support, especially from his mother. Krishnarghya belongs to a rather underprivileged village and therefore has to travel more than 70 kilometeres every day for his schooling and education. Sometimes this tires him out and he feels worn out. However, in those moments, his mother always helps him out and encourages him to overcome the challenges and obstacles in his life and focus on the great things that lie ahead for him.
