Sri #Vedavyasara janma bhoomi - #Kalpi (near Kanpur - U. P) on the banks of Yamuna river

Originally Sri Vyasaru was called as #Krishna #Dvaipaayana. Since #Vyasa was dark (Krishna) in colour and born in an island (Dweepa) in Yamuna river he was called Krishna Dvaipaayana; (Dweepaayana)

He was called #VedaVyasa since he had organized Vedas. Since He was descent to Sage #Vasishta he was known as Vasishta #Krishna; He was called #Badarayana since he was an inhabitant of #Badarika forest full of Jujube trees. His hermitage is in #Badari Kshetra. +

Put together he is known as #VedaVyasa – #KrishnaDwaipayana – #Badarayana - #VasishtaKrishna

An incarnation of Lord #Vishnu; He is also called as Lord Veda Vyasa or Vyasa Bhagavantha.

Vyasam Vasishta Naptaram Shakteh Pautramakalmasham
Parasaratmajam Vande Sukatatam Taponidhim;

Vyasaya Vishnu Roopaya Vyasa Roopaya Vishnave
Namo Vai Brahma Nidhaye Vasishtaaya Namo Namah;

KrishnaDvaipayanam Vyasam sarvalokahite ratam
VedabjaBhaskaram Vande Samadhinilayam Munim

#MEANING:
Salutations to that #Vyasa who is free from all defects;
who is a treasure of austerities,
who is the great-grandson of sage #Vasishta,
grand-son of #Shakti,
son of #Parasara and
father of #Sukha. ++

My repeated salutations are to #Vyasa,
who is a form of Lord #Vishnu and
to Vishnu who is a form of Vyasa,
who is a descendent of sage #Vasishta,
who is a treasure of #Brahman. +

Let us #worship sage (Muni) #Vyasa
who is #Krishna #Dvaipayana,
who is #devoted to the #welfare of the world,
who is like a #Sun to the #Vedas
