Vyāsa-pūjā 2023

Amṛta Mādhavī Devī Dāsī (Bangalore - Sri Jagannath Mandir Seshadripuram - India)

Dear Guru Mahārāja

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda.

All glories to you

Guru Mahārāja by your mercy I am able to see how you are daily preaching online, daily meeting and talking to devotees, daily taking care of your health, daily reading Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, doing serious course like Bhakti Vedānta course and motivating all of us to do too and daily chanting your rounds and if there are any hiccups in your health, the minute its a little better you are back again online for preaching and sometimes you travel to places physically and preaching and meeting and motivating devotees. All that you are doing with all the physical challenges that you are put with, has stolen my heart in total awe and reverence and made me develop gratitude and got inspiration from you dear Guru Mahārāja. I also joined Bhakti-vaibhava Course and I am trying to be regulated and I am trying to read or share or remember Bhāgavatam daily. I am wanting to follow all the instructions of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam every day and I want to live long and serve like you serving your spiritual master but with good health as I have good health now. I want to do sādhana of daily japa with exceptional quality for which I am trying daily but with a little hurry at the rate of 6-7 minute per round for most rounds at least, whereas I need 10 minutes for fully focusing on every round, to focus on every word. I wish I could chant with more focus on every word of māhā-mantra. I wish my speed of reading and absorbing Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam or any Prabhupāda books speed and grasping power increases so that I may save time for preaching more often than now.

As usual, I have voluntarily taken responsibility to help your one young shaky disciple by lovingly giving time and nourishing the devotee, by doing my sādhana and my ācār and prācār to my level best. Its helping the devotee but it’s a little slow and I wish that you empower me fully so that, in less time, I wish I can help, not just one disciple, but help all shaky devotees who come to me, to become strong in sādhana. Please bless me to be successful in my good ācār and prācār so that all those who were weak or shaky when they approach me will become stalwart devotees who will assist you in your mission dear Guru Mahārāja.

I am unable to travel to the Sheshadripuram temple till my situations change dear Guru Mahārāja. Therefore, I am saving time from my cooking and cleaning schedule, to do good sādhana of chanting, Reading SB and recollecting and discussing SB with my family for revision purpose. so many days my good daughter, your dīkṣā disciple Her Grace Bhaktimayi Rādhikā Devī dāsī, assists me, by cooking and cleaning the house and by decorating deities, so that I study shastras and I share what I learnt with her. She listens to your lectures and shares some inspiring points with me. I wish I could be more faster in my reading and grasping Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam and I wish my mind would catch every word of māhā-mantra even if I chanted fast at the rate of 6 to 7 minutes per round and I wish I too could serve many many devotees online like you do, in the form of reading together or in the form of preaching or anything to cultivate more and more souls nicely in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. I clearly understood that nothing happens without your mercy dear Guru Mahārāja. Therefore, I fall at your lotus feet and beg you to please be merciful to me and help me upgrade in my sādhana and seva at home and seva to you and seva online to many many devotees from now on dear Guru Mahārāja as I feel my precious time of life with good health is simply getting lost.

Also I don’t know if, staying away from Sheshadripuram temple and serving temple online is best for my current difficult situation or going to temple on weekends will help though my current difficult situation is not letting me visit the temple dear Guru Mahārāja.

Please empower me dear Guru Mahārāja to do many times more service than what im doing right now dear Guru Mahārāja.

2 Schools namely, My Hope School and Rama kṛṣṇa Schools have requested me to teach their students Bhagavad gītā from june 2023 during their next academic year after hearing my session for school kids during Dāmodara ārati cum Bhagavad-gītā contest marathon in Schools dear Guru Mahārāja. By June 2023 if I become expert at grasping shastras and become more absorbed in doing good japa and in saving time, then I beg your blessings to do school preaching also very effectively without losing my voice dear Guru Mahārāja from June 2023. I wish to get school students to Māyāpur dhāma and make sure those little minds will have all transcendentally ecstatic experiences carved in their subtle mind and in their consciousness dear Guru Mahārāja. It looks like a big task to me but if you empower me then everything becomes possible dear Guru Mahārāja. The owners of My Hope School are taking care of their downtrodden high school children like their own children and I wish that I will have time from June 2023, to help the students get attached to chanting holy names and help them get attached to hearing Shastras and getting absorbed in śāstric studies along with doing better in their school studies.

Please bless me dear Guru Mahārāja as I have all the eagerness to go to Sheshadripuram Temple to serve, to go to Schools and preach, to help the shaky disciples of yours to get strong to study Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam with full absorption for 6 hours a day minimum, at least 3 days a week and another 2 to 3 days for school preaching and one day to cope up with myself and my small family but right now I need your blessings to achieve all these things as I have understood I am not the doer, and I cannot do anything without your causeless mercy.

Kindly bless me, so that from your next Vyāsa-pūjā, you will get better and better reports from me, and from my daughter, every year dear Guru Mahārāja.

Your spiritual servant daughter
