Vyāsa-pūjā 2021

Santosh Swarup Panigrahi (Kanpur - India)

Respected Guru Maharaj

Please accept my Respectful obeisances.

I wish you your 73rd  birth anniversary. I am very glad to write something to you on this auspicious day. On this day guru who is a representative of vyas dev is offered same respect as due him because of his unflinching and unadulterated service.

I see you as a giant in serving SP mission in multifarious ways. You were introduced to KC by another special devote Hg Jayananda Pr. And after that you dedicated yur life in serving Sp. Sp said that you are an eternal associate pf lord Chaitanya. You accepted to establish Mayapur project and now huge gorgeous temple is coming up. Mayapur is developed in such a way that anybody who goes there feels the difference between material and spiritual world. Everywhere we find devotees wearing tilak and kanthi and beadbag. When I go there I feel only I am non devotee here. And in other places I feel I am the only devotee here. This naturally awakens mood of service and humility in dham where e see numerous devotees.

Your key contributions for SP mission are

Setting Mayapur as the international centre with thousands of devotee and best atmosphere to access lord chaitanya’s mercy

So many bhakti vrksa(following in footsteps of bvt) and namahatta centers

Initiating more than 50000 disciples

After undergoing through stroke also your vigor to preach the message was not reduced rather it increased. Such strong commitment is rarely seen in this world. I heard it is your vow to give atleast 1 lecture everyday somehow and you have never missed it.

Your contributions are so much that I am finding difficulty to enlist them here and many things I am unaware of.

Your personal qualities which have touched my heart

Very personal in giving counsel

Very merciful and forgiving

Having a broad heart to let your disciple take siksa from other siksa gurus in iskcon

Always sharing credits with others

Maharaj I am somehow very fortunate to get connected with you. So many gurus patha pradarsaka and siksa ultimately lead one to diksa guru. For you preaching an compassion I am now again connected to you as my eternal father. Your practical understanding of scripture is really heart touching.

 

When SP wrote his offering to srila BSST, it was appreciated by all because he had written it from his heart and he could realize the true meaning of “samsara davanala lidha loka” how guru has come to save us from and make us give up SG which is root cause of misery. But I am a so fallen soul that I need to remided again and again to write vyasa puja offering.

Maharaj I have your lectures but still I am unable to set it as a priority to hear from you. I don’t know how to overcome it but surely I will now put my effort. Along with that I will try to serve you by reading your books and magazines. By your grace I have been given some boys to cultivate, may take this opportunity to please you by doing some preaching work.

Maharaj last your home trip which you are aware of, has brought a big setback in my life. I again got into bd habits but now I am in a healthy situation. I have so much lust that it appears as a big mountain infront of me. So many thoughts of impressing woman(especially those who have approached) is coming and I am unable to stop contemplating on them.

Maharaj I am planning to take shelter of tulasi devi by end of June and your’s shelter by end of this year. Time is very less and parents are furious about kanthi and initiation. Please help me so that I can get connected to lcmp and SP through you in brahma madhwa gaudiya sampradaya.

I beg you to please bless me with association of devotees at every stage of my life, read sp books, chant holynames of lord, worship deity and remain in holy places and have 100 percent engagement in DS. May I always aspire for the prayrs of LCMP’s siksastakam. May I ignore and not respond to my anarthas and fully engage in DS. My I give up SG and take to service of lord whole heartedly.

 

Yours aspiring disciple
