Vyāsa-pūjā 2021

Pāṇḍava dāsa (Mayapur - India)

Our Dear Spiritual Father and Guru Maharaja,                                                                                                                                  April 8th, 2021

Please accept our respectful obeisances unto your lotus feet on your Most Auspicious 72nd Vyasa Puja Day.

     We am so fortunate to have such a wonderful loving and caring spiritual master who is so dedicated to the service of Srila Prabhupada and saving the fallen souls.  During this 2020 MISSING YEAR for so many people in the world, so many people died or were cut off from their family, careers, business, exercise program, friends, social events and especially their worship services to their Lord God. Gurudeva, you in your love & mercy, immediately jumped into action by taking to the internet that is used for so much nonsense and started reaching out to your disciples worldwide.     

      Gurudeva, you are traveling at the speed of light to all corners of the world at the same time. No dealing with the hardships of traveling by suitcase, expensive airplane flights, passports, visas, customs, immigration and on & on. You are making the best use of your time during this COVID attack on the world by preaching. You are reaching out to your disciples & well-wishers via ZOOM, FACEBOOK, You Tube, Jayapataka Swami App, Lava Matra App, JPS Media, Soundcloud, Flickr, & many different web sites maintained by your Archives from Sri Dhama Mayapur. You are giving Srimad Bhagavatam classes, Caitanya Book Seminars, private meeting with different Yatras where the devotees there are making offerings to you. Not a minute lost.

     Gurudeva, you are also engaging your senior disciples & Sanyassis here at ISKCON's World Headquarters to jump on this bandwagon and start giving classes every day from so many of Srila Prabhupada's different books over the internet through the Vaikuntha Ariwaves to people all over the world. You encouraged the Nama Hatta Mayapur Headquarters to set up a video department and start recording everything to reach all the different Sangas all over West Bengal and Bangladesh & beyond. That opened up a channel for your JPS Archives to jump in and assist them to quickly get started with with a donated High Definition Camera, purchasing advice, training on use of equipment & video editing and on & on.

    So many of your Godbrothers and other Sanyassis, after the Gaura Purnima 2020 Festival were still lockdowned here with no service to do.  They also started giving many different types of seminars over the internet to all the trapped souls stuck in their homes. What a blessing for the world. Even on your You Tube Channel "NIMAINITAI" which you dedicated to serving ISKCON and all disciples & well wishers to bring Srila Prabhupada's Mayapur out to the whole world, a video was coming out every day even thought Mayapur was lockdowned with no guests allowed inside.   For the last 90 days I was putting out a kirtan music video every day when America was reaching 550,000 people dead from COVID.

    Gurudeva, most of us when we fall into ill health, we retreat to our home and bed and are cut off from the world. We suffer through our illness with no time to continue our service and continue preaching. Even though you were in the ICU with so many needles & tubes stuck in you and suffering so much pain in at least the last three years, you still reached out with love and compassion to the fellow patients that were suffering and some dying all around you. You were also reaching out to the doctors & nurses that came to care for you to gave them a clicker so they could start chanting the Holy Names of Lord Sri Krishna throughout their very busy days and perfect their lives.

     During this year, you were thinking about a very important personality that was not given the special attention you wanted given to her. She was left out of the Mayapur Academy's new training manual. Without her special presence most worship is in vain. No bhoga offering, abhisheka, proper chanting can be done without her presence. You wanted her glories, glories & glories  given out all over the world through the internet. You went on line and asked all of your disciples to make videos about her glories. Some did. Your JPS Archives did take up your request to expount the glories of Tulasi Maharani through many different videos. At least 20 videos so far are giving the importance and glories of Tulasi Maharani with many more to come by your guidance & mercy. These are available on NIMAINITAI You Tube Channel.

    By your mercy, the Archives is now firmly established and we pray that it will continue for the next 10,000 years by devotees stepping foward to maintain & support your Vani Form in this valuable service. Your Archives has the responsibility to preserve and protect all of your media so that it can be digitized, stored and distributed widely to all your disciples and well-wishers at no cost.    

    You once said that; "The greatest blessing the Spiritual Master can give is his instructions." We can understand by your many instructions on how to fulfill this service  that you have showered us with your mercy and blessings. For this we are eternally grateful.

    Thank you for tolerating all our mistakes and offenses in serving you through the years. Please forgive us for any and all offenses commited at your Lotus Feet. Thank you for placing so much trust in my wife and I in taking care of your Vani Form for so many years. It is a rare and precious mercy to serve a pure devotee. Yasya Prasada Bhagavata Prasada  Yasya Prasada na gatih kutoh pi.

   Please bless us to remain fixed in this service and in the shelter of your lotus feet

   Eternally your small insignificant son and daughter
