Vyāsa-pūjā 2022

Deepak Rohitkumar Joshi (Gaurāṅga Deśa - Middle East)

Hare Kṛṣṇa Dear Guru Mahārāja,

Please accept my respectful obeisances at your divine lotus feet

All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!

All glories unto your Divine Grace!

All glories to your auspicious appearance day.

On this very auspicious occasion of your Vyāsa-pūjā, I pray to Śrī Śrī Rādhā Mādhava and Śrī Narasiṁhadeva for your protection, good health, and well-being.

The entire lifetime of the spiritual master is illustrious, but this day is most distinguished and glorious as on this day you descended into the material realm to deliver the fallen conditioned souls. I am one such fallen soul constantly entangled in the web of māyā. My intelligence is non-existent, and I am only able to remain in Kṛṣṇa consciousness because of your grace, mercy, and blessings although my bad qualities and actions continually impede my spiritual advancement.

It is a true inspiration to see your unflinching commitment and dedication to please Śrīla Prabhupāda and Caitanya Mahāprabhu against all odds. Your incessant preaching endeavor and unconditional outpouring of mercy to devotees is beyond comprehension.

It is through this flow of your causeless mercy and blessings together with the mercy of your disciples and devotees that I and my family are fortunate to be in association of Gaurāṅga deśa Yātrā. With great support and encouragement from my wife and children coupled with the handholding, guidance, and association of the gracious yātrā devotees, I am chanting 16 rounds daily and regularly reading Bhagavad-gītā and Śrīla Prabhupāda books.

Dear Guru Mahārāja, you are an epitome of limitless humility, compassion, devotion, enthusiasm and much more. Please bless and bestow upon me an iota of these which will go a long way in enabling me to actively engage in the services in the manner which pleases you and Gaurāṅga.

I plead, for your forgiveness of my offences committed knowingly or unknowingly and, to always remain in the comforting shade of your protection.

On this most auspicious day of your appearance, I offer my deepest love, utmost gratitude and respectful obeisances unto your divine lotus feet. All glories to your Divine Grace!!

Your unworthy and insignificant servant,

Deepak Joshi (aspiring disciple)
