Vyāsa-pūjā 2021

Ojasvi Kṛṣṇa dāsa ( - )

mūkaṁ karoti vācālaṁ

paṅguṁ laṅghayate girim

yat-kṛpā tam ahaṁ vande

śrī-guruṁ dīna-tāraṇam

 

I offer my respectful obeisances unto my spiritual master, the deliverer of all fallen souls, whose mercy turns the dumb into eloquent speakers, and enables the lame to cross mountains.

 

My dear spiritual father,

Please accept my respectful obeisances unto your lotus feet again and again

 

All glories to you on your auspicious appearance day

 

The entire past year was spent more or less staying at home due to the coronavirus pandemic. It was during this time, by your mercy, I was able to read, hear, chant, etc. with more attention than before. I understood the philosophy of Krishna Consciousness more clearly than I knew. You emphasized taking the various shastric courses which are provided by Mayapur Institute and hence I took up the Bhakti Vaibhava (Module-1). By your mercy, I was able to complete it successfully.

 

The last year allowed me to view you more up-closely than before and this was all due to the Jayapataka Swami App. I was able to see how you spend your time doing various activities. Such as: -

 

1.     Taking care of health very seriously by accepting various types of therapies so that you can push forward Srila Prabhupada’s movement.

2.     Spending time post-class with devotees on Zoom by having interaction with them.

3.     Checking up on local Mayapur residents to see how they are keeping up with their health.

 

By seeing what you do, it inspires me to do the same and by your mercy, I am taking care of my health (so that I can serve you more and more), spending more time with the devotees who are close to me, and inquiring my close friends about their health.

 

By your mercy, I am able to follow the initiation vows and I beg for your mercy again and again, so that I can follow those vows with more seriousness and strictness in the coming year.

 

I hope that I will be forgiven for all the offenses and sins I have committed against you and the Vaishnavas.

 

Aspiring to be your significant servant,

Ojasvi Krishna Dasa
