Vyāsa-pūjā 2023

Phanīndra Dāsa (Florence - Villa Vrindavan - Italy)

Dear Gurudeva,

nama oṁ viṣṇu-pādāya kṛṣṇa-preṣṭhāya bhū-tale
śrīmate jayapatāka svāmin iti nāmine
nama ācaryapādāya nitāi-kṛpā-pradāyine
gaura-kathā-dhāma-dāya nagara-grāma-tāriṇe

Kindly accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda All glories to you Śrīla Gurudeva All glories to Guru and Gaurāṅga!!

oṁ ajñāna-timirāndhasya jñānāñjana-śalākayā
cakṣur unmīlitaṁ yena tasmai śrī-gurave namaḥ

Even though unqualified to write the offering and yet we don’t expect that we can ever be qualified as being conditioned since time immemorial, it is so difficult to understand the glories of associate of Lord Caitanya. But still the Lord being merciful has given us this golden opportunity, simply by meditating on the wonderful qualities and activities of Your divine self we can get freed from the ignorance. I feel very unqualified to sufficiently glorify you. But I always wonder how you are so much fixed up in Kṛṣṇa consciousness and able to always remember Lord Gaurasundara and Lord Nityānanda. You are so much determined that you seem to disregard all your external physical discomforts to serve the mission of Mahāprabhu. You are so merciful that you always keep your disciples in your prayers and always think of their welfare. Please kindly bless me so that I become more attached to your holiness and lord Kṛṣṇa rather than other things. Oh dear Gurudeva, let me aspire the strength and determination to perform some worthy service in assistance of your mission of spreading the saṅkīrtana movement. Oh dear Gurudeva, you being the true follower of Pañca-tattva, as your sole purpose of living is to spread the holy name far and wide. Praying to you that let me also become a squirrel in my attempts to do some preaching program and please you. Praying all the previous ācāryās and Śrīla Prabhupāda for awarding you the best of health of execute the mission of Śrīla Prabhupāda more efficiently.

Your fallen servant
Phanindra Dāsa
