Vyāsa-pūjā 2018

Harikṣetra dāsa (Bangalore - Sri Sri Narasimha Giridhari Mandir - India)

All glories to Sri Gurudev

All gloires to Srila Prabhupada

Gurudev, Please accept my respectful obeisance unto your lotus feet.

I was listening to one of your Vyasapuja lectures delivered on Apr 20, 1986. I noted few important points.

Point 1:

"Vyasa Puja means to worship the entire Guru Parampara"

This gives me a lot of faith and confidence. If i just try to fulfill your instructions, i will be able to please Srila Prabhupada, all the previous acharayas all the way up to Supreme Lord Sri Krishna.

Point 2:

"Just as he(Srila Prabhupada) said

1. to distribute ten thousand big books and hundred thousand small books every month. Told me to expand the preaching unlimitedly.

2. He told me to develop the Kingdom of God that he had given, Mayapur Dham.

3. He also told me that I should travel, that I had to take the curse of Narada muni, the curse that he had."

and many more...

This you spoke in 1986 and i am hearing you speak the same even up till now. It is an intense meditation.

You are teaching us a very important lesson through this. Meditating on Sri Guru's instructions and making it the only purpose of existence is the perfection of life.

Point 3:

"I take it anything that Prabhupad expressed is actually the desire of Krishna manifested through Prabhupad, whether Prabhupad tells it to me or to someone else it is of the same absolute nature"

Here i am learning the absolute nature of Guru Vani. Every word that emanates from the lotus lips of Sri Guru is mercy that can purify us and take us back to Godhead if followed with utmost care.

Point 4:

"I feel so helpless when I have to do some important work that I am forced to depend upon the mercy of Prabhupad, I don’t see any other way of doing something."

In this point you are very mercifully reveling the Secret of Success. May i develop a drop of this quality and depend on your mercy for fulfilling your divine instructions.

Though all the instructions given by Srila Prabhupada to you and all that you have very mercifully spoken in your divine lectures and audience are to be meditated and worth sacrificing my life. I tend to meditate on your one instruction more than others. That is "Make Bangalore first Krishna Conscious City". It is a massive task. I don’t know how will we even begin executing this instruction. But the greatest faith giving assurance is your causeless mercy. Gurudev, only by your mercy this massive task could be achieved.

Begging forgiveness for my offences

Begging forgiveness for all my actions which influenced negatively in fulfilling your mission

Begging forgiveness for all my actions which did not favor co-operative spirit among devotees

Begging your mercy so that, i can constantly think of your instructions and act cooperatively and assist all the devotees in fulfilling your divine mission

Your insignificant disciple,
Hariksetra Dasa
