Vyāsa-pūjā 2018

Saccidānanda Balarāma dāsa (Melbourne - Australia)

Dear beloved Gurumaharaja,

Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to you on the occasion of your 69th Vyasapuja.

We are very fortunate that you are our spiritual father. You have dedicated your every breath in service of Srila Prabhupada and have set an example for all time to come. Just by observing your activities at present, one can understand that you are perfectly situated in transcendental consciousness and are an example for others to understand that one is not his body. Despite your external circumstances, you are rendering uninterrupted and unmotivated devotional service by your travelling and preaching around the world and distributing the mercy of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu to the desiring.

Please accept our heartfelt gratitude for your personal blessings which you gave us with your Jagannath stick during your last visit to Melbourne to purchase a residence in Sridham Mayapur. In December 2017, we performed a house warming ceremony and much to our astonishment, one of the photos taken by my father captured the Yagna Purusha, who appeared in the fire of the sacrifice.  The yagna itself was conducted by one of your disciples HG Nanda Pran Dasa, who is a resident Brahman Pujari at the Gangamata Temple in Prabhupada Ghat. It was only by your blessings, presence of Vaishnavas and the purity of HG Nanda Pran prabhu that such an amazing incident has occurred. This has bolstered my Shraddha and encouraged my whole family to take up Bhakti more seriously. We have attached a photo for your pleasure. Please bless my parents, Sripati Sridhara dasa and Santida Mahalaksmi devi dasi that they can take shelter of Sridham Mayapur soon.

In the last year, my wife and I have both completed Bhakti Sastri course and have now commenced Bhakti Vaibhava course. We have been desiring to start a Bhakti Vriksha program for some time now, but have not been able to do so due to our lack of sincerity and purity. Please bless us that we may rise above our anarthas and engage sincerely in the service of Mahaprabhu. In this regard, we have also set up a beautifully carved teak wood carved altar at our home to welcome Gaura Nitai and Jagannath Baladev Subhra deites. Please bless us, so with your permission we may welcome them and serve them with love and devotion.

We pray for your health, so you may complete the many important services given to you by Srila Prabhupada.

Your fallen servants,
Saccidananda Balaram Dasa and 
Rani Revati Devi Dasi
