Vyāsa-pūjā 2020

Pūrṇa Prajña Keśava dāsa (Chennai - India)

HARE KRISHNA

Dear and respected Guru Maharaja,

Please accept my humble and respected obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to Sri Sri Guru and Gauranga.

All glories to your auspicious appearance day.

I would like express my sincere gratitude for accepting me as your disciple. The gifts are in abundance through the holy name, prasadam, association of devotees, etc.,.

 This year was so remarkable that by your blessings, i had the wonderful opportunity to stay in Mayapur dham for 6 months almost for doing Bhakti sastri from October 23rd onwards and had the glorious privelige of receiving the certificate from your lotus hands. I felt this is the perfection of life. On my birthday this year i had the wonderful opportunity to get the blessings from you and this is an another great wonder in my life. Thank you very much.

My offering for you from Last year Feb 2019 till March 18 2020 of chanting extra rounds is 681.

Tulasi Parikrama was done 4 rounds for your benefit and also did pancha kros parikrama, Modruma dvipa Parikrama, mamagachi for your pleasure.

In the last year as a team we have distributed around 60 Bhagavat Gita Books.

By your blessings, I have finished Bhakti Sastri course, TTC1, BSTTC, Mahatma prabhu’s seminar. Thank you very much.

I was inspired by your strong determination for preaching both by giving initiation, teaching by example that i am not this body, giving classes on the sweet pastimes of Lord chaitanya Mahaprabhu, giving time for devotees, managing ISKCON meetings, festivals, guiding devotees inspite of your poor health. Guru Maharaj let me be as you wish and desire.

Guru maharaj i felt so moved when you were giving the Chaitanya lila lectures that you emotions reflect the feeling of those characters and were visible in your tone, speech and tears from your eyes. Please bless me to have such an wonderful experience also.

The following qualities made me more inspired, as an ideal disciple of Srila Prabhupada, an ideal example of the sastras for a guru.

 

  •  You are equal to everyone: You are giving initiations to anyone regardless of their material background and the only mission is to distribute the mercy of Krishna equally to everyone, without deviation and without considering time or place.
  •   Without any material Posession: Your only opulence is to serve your spiritual master Srila Prabhupada and you feel satisfied to see that everything is engaged in the service of Krishna. Your only desire is to broadcast the teachings of Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and the Guru Parmpara as it is. A pure devotee is called Niskama, which means he has no desire for self interest. His only desire is to please the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
  •  Faultless:  Your words, deed and mind are always in full surrender to Krishna and execute Krishna’s desires as your life and soul. You are fixed in the service of the lotus feet of Govinda. You are a Tirtha Pada, one who can create sacred places in any part of the world where you decide to reside. You are completely free from the tendency to enjoy separately from the Lord’s service and does not see anything in the universe as unfavourable because he sees everything as the expanded potency of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
  • Magnamimous: Your gifts to the world are filled with tremendous spiritual value where one feels spiritual bliss amidst the blazing fire of material existence. Only you can give such a blessing to the conditioned souls of this Kali yuga. Namahatta preaching, Bhakti vriksha preaching, Navadvipa Parikrama, the thriving vaishnava community in Mayapur, the magnificient TOVP, etc. In return for all these gifts, you never asked anything for yourself.
  • Hasya rasa: You are always generating a transcendental humour amongst your near and dear ones, in the classes you are giving, amidst your poor health. This is mysterious that you make us laugh and make our hearts soft, mild then melt our rock like anarthas to evaporate so that the dormant love of Krishna will be brought out. This is all done just by your presence and humour.
