Vyāsa-pūjā 2023

Srinivasan Iyer (Sydney - Australia)

oṁ ajñāna-timirāndhasya jñānāñjana-śalākayā

cakṣur unmīlitaṁ yena tasmai śrī-gurave namaḥ

nama oṁ viṣṇu-pādāya kṛṣṇa-preṣṭhāya bhū-tale

śrīmate jayapatāka-svāmin iti nāmine

nama ācaryapādāya nitāi-kṛpa pradāyine

gaura-kathā dhāma-dāya nagara-grāma tārine

Hare Kṛṣṇa dear Guru Mahārāja,

Please accept my humble respectful obeisances at your divine lotus feet.

All glories to you Guru Mahārāja!!!

All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!!!

My yearning for you is ever-increasing

Hope my good fortune shall never go ceasing

Every day listening to your Caitanya-līlā classes

I learn spiritual wisdom and cleanse my myopic vision’s glasses

Getting your shelter was my biggest blessing come through

With your mercy, I yearn to get dīkṣā from you

The material chains are binding me still

But your preaching continues to give me the greatest thrill

vyavasāyātmikā buddhir

ekeha kuru-nandana

bahu-śākhā hy anantāś ca

buddhayo 'vyavasāyinām

You personify what Kṛṣṇa says

When the purpose is resolute, the goal stays

Without you, my path will be drenched

The journey will be tough and desire many-branched

Your steadfast devotion to Śrīla Prabhupāda

Has been inspiring us to join the disciplic link to the Lord

My sādhana has miles to go before it is deserving of your guidance

I only beg you to grant me intelligence to go the distance

I want to become eligible to worship you

I wish to connect to the ācāryas through you

Make me an instrument to spread the Holy Name

Grant me the wisdom to shed all glory and fame

I am eagerly praying to serve you for eternity

Every step of my life, I will follow you in humility

Dear Guru Mahārāja, I am not the least deserving

I seek to follow your footsteps, my only chance to find the one true meaning.

Your humble servant, begging for your mercy,

Śrīnivasan Iyer [Śrī] [Shelter Disciple],

Sydney, Australia.
