Vyāsa-pūjā 2020

Kiśorī Yoginī devī dāsī (London - Bhaktivedanta Manor - United Kingdom)

Dear Gurumaharaj,

Please accept my humble obeisance’s, all glories to srila prabhupada,

All glories to you on your most auspicious vyasa puja!  

When I reflect on my short time in Krishna consciousness it is quite apperant that I have no pious credits to be where I am now. It is only by your causeless mercy that I am able to be in Krishna Consciousness. I am so fortunate to have you as my spiritual master, spiritual farther, and ever well-wisher.

It has been just over one year since I took formal initiation in Mayapur dham, this was only made possible by the grace of your disciples, Vishal Guaranga prabhu and Amala Manajri Mataji. Your disciples are a truly wonderful, tolerant, loving and caring family for me. 

Dear Gurumaharaj thank you for picking me up from my miserable condition, even when I did not want to be picked up, or did not even know that I was miserable. Thank you for your causeless mercy unto me, thank you for giving me life, for your kindness, your time, your love, your care, and your constant inspiration.

Every day may I think of you, and remember that without your mercy I am nothing, may I do my services with the aim to please you, may I live my life in such a way that will make you proud.

Dear Gurumaharaj I am still a work in progress, but my prayer is that I can make myself strong, so that I can share Krishna with others, that I can practise Krishna consciousness sincerely, purify my heart, and to help you fulfil the instructions given to you by Srila Prabhupada. Please forgive me for all my short comings and offenses as I am surely very fallen, despite my fallen condition I pray to somehow always follow in your footsteps and "never give up" 

I pray to the lord that I can become attached to your lotus feet and cling on for dear life, as you are my only shelter.

"When bees forage from lotus flowers they produce a very special honey padma madhu. According to Ayurveda this honey, when applied to the eye, clears up a certain disease that causes blurred vision. In the same way, taking shelter of the lotus feet of the Spiritual Master, clears our material vision so we can see clearly, the path of devotion"

Thank you for giving me this chance Gurumaharaj, I will never truly understand how fortunate I am to have your cooling shelter. Your mercy knows no bounds.

Thank you for showing me what happiness really means, and what selfless service looks like.

Your aspiring servant, Kishori Yogini devi dasi.
