Vyāsa-pūjā 2023

Kṛpālu Gauracandra Dāsa (Śyāma Deśa - Middle East)

Hare Kṛṣṇa Dear Mahārāja,

This is your insignificant servant Kṛpālu Gauracandra Dāsa and Nirmalā Viṣṇupriyā Devī Dāsī. Every year we await for this day to glorifying your achievements, your compassion towards the fallen souls like us and your continuous flow of mercy towards us. Being an insignificant children of yours, we have no qualification to glorify you, but we are trying to express our gratitude just like a new baby trying to take its first step with the help of its parents.

We have no words to glorify your mercy as the words cannot satisfy us against your love and care you provide your children. The achievements and your dedication to satisfy your guru and Lord Gaura-Nitāi is unbelievable, we strongly believe no one in this material world, whether in spiritual level or material level can surpass your dedication.

The number of traveling you do worldwide, number of lectures you give, number of meetings you attend, number of maṅgala-ārati you attend, number of initiation programs you conduct, we cannot imagine, how you manage all these with your current status of bodily condition. It is unbelievable to us that you still want to go more and more and give your mercy to insignificant souls like us.

We saw your enthusiasm during the recent Māyāpur kīrtana festival, you want to lead the kīrtana just like a very enthusiastic 16-year old boy. The way you were signing the harināma, it was mind blowing. We are sure, we will not be able perform any of these spiritual activity having bodily condition like you in our old age. We can clearly see from your dedication and SEVĀ that there is no bar for performing devotional activity in terms of bodily conditions and mind. The only one thing we can make sure that you are not at all anytime connected with this material world or material activities, you are just sent by Gaura-Nitāi perform some līlā and to deliver the fallen souls like us.

We were so happy to see you receiving Bhakti-vaibhava graduation certificate, this shows that it is not only you instruct your devotees verbally but you show how to achieve by personally doing it yourself. We are so blessed to have you as our Spiritual Father to perfect in our human life.

In our last 14-years devotional service, I could meet you face to face only twice or thrice including during our initiation time. During the initiation I really had a different realization. When I was waiting for my turn to receive my spiritual name and tulasī beats, the atmosphere was so noisy, but when my turn came to receive spiritual name and tulasī beats from your, when I contacted eyes to eyes with you, the atmosphere was so calm and cool, that I could not hear anything, even my spiritual name, when the devotees were announcing.

This time, I could understand that real meaning of 3rd offense against the chanting of the holy name. “To disobey the orders of the spiritual master or considering the guru to be an ordinary person.”

The experience we had while meeting you personally was really a blessings.

Guru Mahārāja, we are indebted to your mercy and please instruct us if you have any seva, which you feel we are eligible.

We would like inform you through this homage, that by the able guidance of His Grace Rādhābhāva Prabhu and śīkṣā-guru His Grace Rāma Kṛṣṇa Prabhu and Her Grace Śacī Yaśodā Mātā, we are taking Bhakti-vṛkṣa class every Friday in our home at 7:30pm UAE time and we are trying to guide 3 to 4 families in kṛṣṇa-bhakti.

Moreover, we have completed Bhakti-śāstrī course and I, Kṛpālu Gauracandra Dāsa perusing Bhakti-vaibhava. The 1st module is already completed successfully and 2nd module Pūrva-svādhyāya is in progress.

It is my desire that after retirement (in next 4 to 5years), I would like to conduct Bhakti-vṛkṣa class in my home town, where I want to build Kṛṣṇa’s home like Madhuvana and practice and preach śāstras. All will be possible only with your mercy and blessings. Please keep blessing us so that we can progress in our bhakti to fulfill the oath we have taken during our initiation. It is only your mercy that gives us guidance to progress in our material and spiritual life.

Your insignificant servants,

Kṛpālu Gauracandra Dāsa and Nirmalā Viṣṇupriyā Devī Dāsī
