Vyāsa-pūjā 2023

Divyāṅgī Lalitā Devī Dāsī (Omaha, Nebraska - United States of America)

Dearest Śrīla Guru Mahārāja,

Please accept our most respectful and humble obeisances at the dust of Your lotus feet. All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda! All glories to Your Divine Grace!

We wish You a very happy appearance day dearest Spiritual Father! All glories to the most auspicious tithi of Your Appearance!! We offer our heartfelt prayers to Lord Narasiṁhadeva to always keep You in the best of health for the many decades to come.

Dearest Śrīla Guru Mahārāja, this past year we heard on numerous occasions how You reiterated that Śrīla Prabhupāda wanted gṛhasthas to become gṛhastha paramahaṁsas. Śrīla Guru Mahārāja, You have given us a very high ideal to aspire for! Śrīla Guru Mahārāja, You also repeatedly encouraged us to take on Bhakti degrees and also demonstrated by Your personal example by getting the Bhakti-vaibhava degree! Taking a drop of inspiration from You Śrīla Guru Mahārāja, we started the Bhakti-śāstrī course last year and are close to completing it now. Because of the examinations and the study commitments, we were able to study Śrīla Prabhupādas books deeply and our appreciation for them increased manifold. Śrīla Guru Mahārāja, we enrolled for the Bhakti-vaibhava this year and we pray that we may diligently continue with our śāstric studies for Your pleasure and use it in Your service.

Śrīla Guru Mahārāja, starting last year, we returned back to conducting the kids’ classes in-person in Omaha. The turn out was moderate - in addition to the existing kids, a couple of new kids also joined. We also plan to conduct online classes so that we may cater to the kids outside of Omaha. We would also like to expand our outreach to the parents and request Your blessings for that.

Śrīla Guru Mahārāja, please bless us so that we may solely use our time, energy and resources for the only purpose of serving You. Please help us to develop love for chanting the holy names and hearing the pastimes of Lord Gaurāṅga that You so mercifully share with us! Please bless us so that we can be in Your saṅkīrtana army in sharing Kṛṣṇa consciousness with others. We beg forgiveness for any offenses that we may have committed knowingly or unknowingly at Your lotus feet.

Begging to remain Your eternal servants,

Your śikṣā son and spiritual daughter,
Prema Vikāsa Dāsa and Divyāṅgī Lalitā Devī Dāsī
