Vyāsa-pūjā 2020

Nayana Mañjarī devī dāsī (Washington D.C. - United States of America)

Vyasapuja offering 2020

 

Vancha kalpa tarubyas ca kripa sindhu bhaya eva ca patitanam pavnebhyo vaishanavbhyo

namo namah.

 

My dear Spiritual father,

 

Please accept my respectful obeisances. All  glories to Srila Prabhupada. All

glories to Your Divine Grace.

 

On the very auspicious day of the Vyasapuja celebration a disciple is supposed to

write an offering for the spiritual master glorifying and thanking him but I think

why just one day, this should be done every day so that we don't take our good

fortune for granted and our lessons are well learnt. I say this because in our

childhood we learnt that one way of learning things is by writing it down so if we

write down the innumerable gifts of Krsna Conciousness we have received by your

unfathomable mercy, we will feel how precious your presence is in our lives. You are

an ocean of mercy and every drop is priceless.

 

There is so much to learn from Your Divine Grace - like your compassion for all

living beings, your tolerance like that of a tree, your humility like that of grass,

your giving nature, your love for all your insignificant children - the list is

endless but you are a true Acharya as you do prachar by achaar, that is you teach by

example. Just by seeing you, doing all that you are doing to fulfill the

instructions of Srila Prabhupada despite Your health issues, a person is inspired to

follow your instructions even though you are not forcing or asking them to do so.

You have such a magnanimous heart that all worthy or unworthy souls can get shelter.

 

This year is the most auspicious year of your 50 years of Sanyasa celebration and

you are the senior most Sanyasi in our Gaudiya Vaisnava family. How fortunate I am

to have been accepted by your grace even though undeserving but it is all because of

your overflowing mercy for which I am eternally grateful.

 

Our first celebration of this special ocassion was in Atlanta where we had the

fortune to bathe your lotus feet. It was as if I was dreaming as it was unbelievable

to be a part of such an intimate service being performed for the Simha (Lion) of

Mayapur.

 

You have always been so kind to me - at times it's hard to believe my good fortune.

In mundane materialistic world when something goes wrong with some one, the person

questions ”why me?” and in your presence when I receive your mercy despite being

such an insignificant soul I question to myself “how come me?”. My dear GuruMaharaj

I can't Thank you enough as it is only and only because of your causeless mercy that

I am able to practice my sadhna even though the quality is not there. In present day

and time the fact that I am able to chant the HOLY NAME is all because of your

mercy. Please keep me under Your shelter always. Thank you so much.

 

On this most auspicios day I pray to Sri Sri Prahlad Nrsinghdeva, Sri Sri Radha

Madhava and Ashta sakhis and Sri Sri Panchatattava to protect You today and always.

 

Your insignificant daughter,

Nayanamanjari devi dasi
