Vyāsa-pūjā 2021

Abhinandana Nitāi dāsa (Ljubljana - New Yogapitha - Slovenia)

Dear Beloved Guru Maharaja, Srila Acaryapada!

Please accept our most respectful obeisance's unto Your lotus feet today, the most auspicious day for us, the day of Your Vyasa Puja.

 Your desire is to bring as many fallen soul to the lotus feet of Srila Prabhupada and Lord Gouranga. You are constantly thinking have to encourage us to be more active and Krishna consciousness. Last year by your mercy we finally establish at least some inspirational and organization structure for taking care for your disciples in Europe. We all become more connected and active in serving you through book distribution and regular associating through internet. I hope we could please you that way. According to the commentary of Srila Prabhupada in verz ŚB 7.9.28 this is the best process for approaching the Supreme Lord.

 »Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura says:

tāṅdera caraṇa sevi bhakta-sane vāsa
janame janame haya, ei abhilāṣa

One should not be anxious to offer direct service to the Lord. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu advised that one become a servant of the servant of the servant of the Lord (gopī-bhartuḥ pada-kamalayor dāsa-dāsānudāsaḥ). This is the process for approaching the Supreme Lord. The first service should be rendered to the spiritual master so that by his mercy one can approach the Supreme Personality of Godhead to render service. While teaching Rūpa Gosvāmī, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu said, guru-kṛṣṇa-prasāde pāya bhakti-latā-bīja: one can achieve the seed of devotional service by the mercy of the guru, the spiritual master, and then by the mercy of Kṛṣṇa. This is the secret of success. First one should try to please the spiritual master, and then one should attempt to please the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura also says, yasya prasādād bhagavat-prasādo. One should not attempt to please the Supreme Personality of Godhead by concoction. One must first be prepared to serve the spiritual master, and when one is qualified he is automatically offered the platform of direct service to the Lord. Therefore Prahlāda Mahārāja proposed that he engage in the service of Nārada Muni. He never proposed that he engage directly in the service of the Lord. This is the right conclusion. Therefore he said, so ’haṁ kathaṁ nu visṛje tava bhṛtya-sevām: “How can I give up the service of my spiritual master, who has favored me in such a way that I am now able to see You face to face?” Prahlāda Mahārāja prayed to the Lord that he might continue to engage in the service of his spiritual master, Nārada Muni.«

 Through JSSS Europe we also print one book for you, which will be sure very inspirational for all our god brothers and god sisters.

  Please bless me so that I can never leave Krishna Consciousness and develop pure love for Krishna.

 Happy Vyasa Puja my most beloved Spiritual Father!
