Vyāsa-pūjā 2022

Bhāgyavatī Subhadrā devī dāsī (Guntur - India)

nama oṁ viṣṇu-pādāya Kṛṣṇa-preṣṭhāya bhū-tale
śrīmate jayapatākā-svāmin iti nāmine
namo ācāryapādāya nitāi-kṛpa-pradāyine
gaura-kathā dhāmadhāya nagara-grāma tāriṇe

mūkaṁ karoti vācālaṁ paṅguṁ laṅghayate girim
yat-kṛpā tam ahaṁ vande śrī-guruṁ dīna-tāraṇam
paramānandaṁ mādhavaṁ śrī caitanya iśvaram

Hare Kṛṣṇa dear Guru Mahāraja.

Please accept my most respectful obeisances unto the dust of Your Lotus Feet wishing You and the God family a very blissful 73rd Vyāsa-pūjā celebrations.

When I meditate to offer You a homage and look back, I can see Your divine presence at every moment and witness every single prayer being answered Guru Mahārāja. This is so overwhelming and emotional to put in words about how much reciprocation I am experiencing from You and Kṛṣṇachandra.

My heart always melts whenever I hear Śrīla Prabhupāda addressing Śrīla Bhakti Siddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura as ‘My Guru Mahārāja’. Inspired by that I am making a humble attempt to pour my heart out in Your glorification about how much I was being favored by Your causeless mercy.

My Guru Mahārāja, He has a heart of Gold!

Whenever I chant Gaurāṅga, He immediately gets sold

However, fallen I may be, His mercy is always bestowed

Don’t know why I was chosen, His shelter keeps māyā blowed

Whatever may be the test, He makes me strong and bold

Whenever I feel low, His hand is always there to hold

No matter what I achieve, He always keeps my head bowed

Doesn’t matter how foolish I behave, a clear path is always showed

The breeze of His determination, keeps my lifeboat rowed

The sweetness of His glance, joy of my heart always overflowed

The compassion He has on me, sometimes it’s hard to behold

The simple secrets to my happiness, He is expert to unfold

The ecstasy He puts me in, many times make me feel cold

Personal touch of His love, tears in my eyes flow uncontrolled

How much He cares for me, so many stories remain untold

My Guru Mahārāja, He has a heart of gold and He is my world!

Behind each line there was a beautiful pastime which I will relish forever. Thank you for taking me so close to your heart and making me realize how fortunate I am to have the most wonderful father like You Guru Mahārāja. Lord Gaurāṅga mentions in the pastime of Amogha that even the maidservant and a dog in the house of His devotee is very dear to Him. On this most auspicious day I beg You to please make me a faithful dog at Your divine Lotus Feet. So that I can serve You and Vaiṣṇavas selflessly with proper mood and devotion.

I offer my deep prayers to Their Lordships Śrī Śrī Rādhā Kṛṣṇacandra, Jagannātha, Baladeva, Subhadrā, Sudarśana cakra and Nitāi Gaurasundara for Your good health.

If it so pleases You please forgive my offences and accept this humble glorification at Your lotus feet Guru Mahārāja.

All Glories to Your Holiness.

All Glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda and guru-paramparā.

All Glories to Śrī Guru and Gaurāṅga.

Your loving spiritual daughter,

Bhāgyavatī Subhadrā Devī Dāsī
