Vyāsa-pūjā 2018

Nīlamādhava Kṛṣṇa Dāsa (Secunderabad - India)

My Dear Guru Maharaj,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All Glories to Srila Prabhupad. All Glories to Srila Gurudeva.

Guru Maharaj, Wishing you a Very Happy Krishna Conscious Birthday. On the most auspicious occasion of your Vyasa Puja my sincere and insignificant prayers to Lord Narasimhadev to protect you from all calamities.  I am sure that you will come out stronger and with added vigour to continue in the mission of spreading Krishna Consciousness.

Guru Maharaj, every year it is at the last moment that I manage to pen a few words and make an attempt to glorify you, even though I am not qualified to do so. I feel ashamed at this feeble effort of mine inspite of knowing well in advance about your Vyasa Puja dates. Please forgive me and hopefully, with your Prayers and Mercy, I should do better next time.

Guru Maharaj, your health condition has been deteriorating in the last few months but still you have only one thing in mind - to give as much association as possible to devotees and to give the Mercy of Lord Chaitanya to whoever you meet. All the wonders of the world pales into oblivion when I see your determination and resolve to fulfill the words of Srila Prabhupad. The TOVP is one classic case and no other achievement by anyone in this world stands a chance to match the grit exhibited by you. Guru Maharaj, you are truly an empowered soul and not from this world.

Guru Maharaj, my so called devotional services are filled with anger, lust, pride and hatred which I know are impediments to spiritual life. I am not able to pull myself away from these and not able to concentrate properly on my small services as well as chanting. Request you to please give me an iota of your Blessings so that I can do the services in the way in which it pleases you.Guru Maharaj, keep getting constant health updates and I know that it is because of fallen devotees like your health is failing. Your constant travel must be energy sapping but you are not worried. Your anxiety is to reach out to more people, to give more love of Krishna, come what may.

Guru Maharaj, please Bless all the members of our congregation here in Secunderabad and my wife and son, so that all of us can do devotional service and live up to your word. My prayers once again to Lord Narasimhadev to protect you and give all the strength. Let him take my life as it is worthless and useless and add the balance of my life to your life.

His Divine Grace Jayapataka Swami Maharaj Ki Jai.

Your fallen son,
Neela Madhava Krishna Das (Diksha Disciple)
