Vyāsa-pūjā 2020

Haridāsa Varya dāsa (New Mumbai - Kharghar - India)

Dear HH Jayapataka Swami Gurudeva, 

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All Glories to Guru and Gauranga. 

I wish you a very happy 71st birthday on this auspicious day. I have immense respect and love towards your holiness and you were the first person to lift me out of the ocean of darkness. Please find below my humble offering unto your lotus feet. 

Hare Krishna. 
 

71st Vyasa Puja offering following the footsteps of Jayadev Goswami's Ten Incarnations Prayer :

 

Ohh Krishna!

During flood of dissolution,

As a fish you became the solution

Taking the form of a boat

You protected the Vedic vision

 

Ohh Gurudev Jayaptaka Swami!

While struggling in this material ocean

You doled harinaam as a magic potion

Being the yoke of the fish for the boat

You revive drowned souls again to float

 

Ohh Krishna !

The demons and demigods churned for nectar

As a tortoise, you appeared there as a protector

Sporting the mountain Mandara on your bareback

You ensured Demons do not get nectar in their sack

 

Ohh Gurudev Jayaptaka Swami !

For the demons or the demigods

You have distributed the holy name against all odds

You have borne TOVP on your bareback

And against Maya, you have led the counter-attack

 

Ohh Krishna!

Earth, Drowned at the bottom of the ocean

As a boar, you lifted and brought her back to motion

Praised by all through multiple verses

Varaha dev glorious are your converses

 

Ohh Gurudev Jayapataka Swami!

While Varaha lifted Earth on his mighty tusks

You lift the fallen souls from dawn to dusk

Sowing seeds of devotion in the heart's garden

You have eliminated mother earth's burden

 

Ohh Krishna!

You killed the lust of the demon with your nails

As half-man and lion you made the demon wail

Such an incarnation was unprecedented

Seeing that Prahlad's devotion augmented

 

Ohh Gurudev Jayaptaka Swami!

You are a lion amidst the bhakti cult

Your roar in kirtan is liked by kids, babies and adult

You brought the handsome lion to Mayapur

We take great pleasure watching his grandeur

 

Ohh Krishna!

Making Ganges flow from your feet

As dwarf Vamana your appearance to Bali was discreet

Your mighty steps tamed Bali through deceit

Still, he glorified you for your wonderful feat

 

Ohh Gurudev Jayapataka  Swami!

Through Parikramas, You brought the world to mother Ganges

Your efforts are none shorter than the seven Sages

You toiled hard for Prabhupada without any wages

Breaking our material bonds and freeing us from our cages

 

Ohh Krishna!

When the protectors of the world were lax

As Parashuram, you punished them with your axe

You bathed Kurukshetra with rivers of blood

Protected the citizens like a tender flower bud

 

Ohh Gurudev Jayapataka Swami!

Taking the message of the Kurukshetra far and wide

You wielded the harinam axe in your every stride

You conquered the hearts of enemies and friends

Gave them the love of Caitanya beyond dividends

 

Ohh Krishna!

The world wilted due to atrocities of Ravana the demon

You appeared as Ram and upheld your sermon

Severing Ravana's ten heads in ten directions

You brought to doorsteps of Lanka ultimate destruction

 

Ohh Gurudev Jayapataka Swami!

When our mind raced in all ten directions

You gave the names of Rama as the initiation instruction

Severing our desires for material enjoyment

You built a bridge of devotion to our heart's content

 

Ohh Krishna!

Appearing on this earth wielding your plough

As Balarama, you made the Yamuna not to flow

Adorned with bluish garments of various length

You looked handsome and gentle yet with immense strength

 

Ohh Gurudev Jayapataka Swami!

You took around the world Balram's shoe

You are stuck to Nitai like transcendental glue

Digging deep into our hearts with the harinam plough

You kneaded it with love making it soft like a dough

 

Ohh Krishna !

The animals cried their hearts out in Vedic sacrifice

As Buddha, you showed to such acts a deep despise

Uprooting the evils and all the vice

You made the men of this world again to rise

 

Ohh Gurudev Jayapataka Swami!

Taking a note from Lord Buddha's compassion

You too walked for 50 years under renunciation

Touching the lives of humans and animals alike

Through your Vani which for Maya is a painful spike

 

Ohh Krishna !

As the men become more barbarous in the world

As Kalki, you appear to bring the times of the old

You flash with your sword through them like a comet

Your final act for them will be hard to forget

 

Ohh Gurudev Jayapataka Swami!

You have taken a vow to stop the effect of evil

By bringing the message of Gita for an upheaval

You travel across the world in full speed

Delivering souls by chanting Hare Krishna on every Bead

 

Ohh Krishna!

As Jayadeva has sung the great song on ten incarnations

The readers of it are bestowed with happiness and devotion

You appeared beautifully in ten different forms

Breaking the shackles of time, breaking all the norms

 

Ohh Gurudev Jayapataka Swami!

When will this Haridas Varya get a drop of your merciful glance

Who has knowingly put his heart through Maya's lance

On this 71st Vyasa puja, I am taking a chance

For the cry of mine to be heard through the universe's expanse

 

Begging for Jayapataka Swami Thakura's mercy
