Vyāsa-pūjā 2022

Pāvana Gaura Prema dāsa (Mayapur - India)

Hare Kṛṣṇa my beloved Gurudeva,

Please accept my obeisances. All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda. All glories to Śrī Guru and Śrī Gaurāṅga. All glories to your auspicious appearance day.

I wrote my last year Vyāsa-pūjā offering from Māyāpur which I consider the fortunate bestowed upon me by your mercy. But this year I am very fortunate to write my Vyāsa-pūjā offering from your office in Śrīdhāma Māyāpur. From 2021 July I am serving in your office. Once when I told His Grace Atul Kṛṣṇa prabhu in Māyāpur that I am serving in my Guru Mahārāja office, he immediately told, Serving guru directly in Māyāpur dhāma? What a bhāgyavan! It’s inconceivable for me to think that I am living and serving in Māyāpur. It is all your mercy and mercy of Śrī Nityānanda Prabhu.

It’s almost 8 months, I am trying to do my service meticulously, but I have a lot of hindrance in my services. I was so frustrated with anger and intolerant. I discussed the whole situation with my śikṣā-guru who is one of your senior disciples in Māyāpur. He told me that Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu is more interested in my purification than accepting my service. I can always think of these words when I was put into difficulties.

Now, I am trying to become more tolerant. I have faith that you and Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu will not let me down for any reason. I want to take advantage of the favorable situation in Māyāpur leaving behind unfavorable things around me.

According to Caitanya-caritāmṛta Ādi-līlā 1.45 guru kṛṣṇa-rūpa hana śāstrera pramāṇe guru-rūpe Kṛṣṇa kṛpā karena bhakta-gaṇe You are non-different from Lord Kṛṣṇa.

So my Lord, I beg you and offer my repeated obeisances unto your Lotus feet for my deliverance. I beg you offer me a position to serve your eternally doesn’t matter even in the hellish planets.

I pray to Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya that He allows you to stay with us for a long time to deliver more and more conditioned souls like me.

Your Insignificant Servant,
