Vyāsa-pūjā 2018

Candravadana Gaurāṅga Dāsa (Sacramento - United States of America)

Hare Krishna Dear Guru Maharaj,

Please accept our humble obeisance! All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

This is our first Vyasa Puja offering to your lotus feet. We found ourselves incapable of this offering all these years since you gave us our first initiation in front of Rukmini Dwarkadish temple in 2012 in Los Angeles, CA USA. With your mercy and encouragement by devotee groups, this year we are able to gather some courage to offer the Vyasa Pooja offerings at your lotus feet.

We husband (ChandraVadan Gauranga Das) and wife (Ashta Sakhi Madhavi Devi Dasi) live in Sacramento area, CA from last 20 years. We serve our deities PremaGaura NitaiChandra (name given by you) at our home with Tulsi parikrama as recommended by you. We are able to chant 16 rounds daily and some extra rounds for your health. On regular basis we read daily Bhagawad Gita, Srimad Bhagawatam, Narshimha Kavacham and other Srila prabhupada’s and his disciple’s books.

With Krishna’s mercy, we are part of the book distribution team (Non-profit: Team Yamuna Mayi) in Sacramento. We go out to the local events i.e. Kids day at park, Strawberry festival, Banana festival, Color festival and/or Earth day to introduce the attendees to Srila Prabhupad’s books. We also cook Prasadam to distribute to prospective new comers during the Sankirtan. We also invite festival attendees to come visit us and learn about Bhagwat Gita and have free vegetarian feast during our regular Sunday program. At Sunday program we also teach small kids Hindi/Sloka’s and other related activities.

We get books supply from BBT LA in small trucks or vans and store them in our garage. We collect funds in our non-profit to support continuous book distributions of BBT books. Some pictures are attached for your pleasure. Slowly but steadily our goal is to fully serve Srila Prabhupada’s mission as our service. I hope you will continue to shower your mercy upon us knowing we need the most so that we can continue to stay focused.

Yours,

ChandraVadan Gauranga Dasa,
Ashta Sakhi Madhavi Devi Dasi,
