Vyāsa-pūjā 2020

Prema Padminī devī dāsī (Bangalore - India)

Beloved Guru Maharaja , 

Please accept my most respect fully obeisances to the dust of your lotus feet. All glories to Your Divine Grace! All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

 

On this most auspicious occasion of your appearance, I want to thank you whole heartedly for being here amidst us and giving us spiritual strength and hope by your association and care.

 

In these troubled times, we have a great possibility of spreading Lord Chaitanya's message in a most dynamic way and Your Divine Grace is always looking at opportunities and possibilities to give out mercy, engaging everyone.

 

Just as Srila Prabhupada felt that Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's message was in the very safe hands of his Spiritual Master, Your Holiness as Srila Prabhupada's  dear disciple is also safe- guarding the message and mood of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu ensuring that the pure sentiments of Krishna Prema are not diluted by any strains of Karma and Jnana.

 

Iam always amazed at how you detect even the finest of deviations and are always promoting  pure Bhakti. 

 

I have a great desire to serve Your Divine Grace and Your mission  even though I am not at all qualified to do so.

 

Having you as a Spiritual Master is the greatest benediction  that I have received from the Lord.I am always praying that one day I will be able to render intimate services to Your Divine Grace for your mission.

 

I am trying my best to do things in a way that will be pleasing to you and Krishna, but I am very far from my goal.

 

I always remember the words that you  spoke once at Mathuradesh.  You had undergone an Ayurvedic treatment for your back and were resting for 3, 4 days.But even before you were fully fine, your desire to give mercy to the Russian devotees during their annual festival was foremost in your mind and you booked your tickets to go there. So when I urged Your Divine Grace to kindly reconsider Your decision, you got up from your bed and came outside and chastised me. " You think that my going there is like sense gratification or something? My Russian disciples are scattered all over Russia and they  get to see me only once a year during the festival!" Those words had a lasting impact on me.

 

Your selfless service without a tinge of sense gratification is a great benchmark and example for all of us to follow.

 

Dearest Guru Maharaja, please bless my family and those we are caring for on your behalf with great spiritual advancement.

 

Please bless my spiritual advancement and services. Please remove all the obstacles on my path in rendering my services. Kindly empower me more and more.

 

Aspiring to be your eternal servant,

Prema Padmini dd
