Vyāsa-pūjā 2023

Vraja-līlā Nātha Dāsa (Dāmodara Deśa - Middle East)

Dear Guru Mahārāja,

Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda. All glories to you Guru Mahārāja.

Guru Mahārāja on this special day of your 74th Vyāsa-pūjā, we pray to Śrī Śrī Rādhā Mādhava, Śrī Śrī Pañca-tattva and Śrī Narasiṁhadeva to protect you and keep you healthy so that we can continue having your guidance and association.

Guru Mahārāja, you have shown to everyone that bodily discomfort is not an obstacle in doing kṛṣṇa-bhakti, your determination and dedication indicates clearly that you are eternal associate of supreme Lord and we feel very blessed that due to association with Kṛṣṇa-kathā Deśa and Dāmodara Deśa senior devotees, we were able to be connected to you. Otherwise, we are not worthy of any mercy. Our obeisances to KKD devotees His Grace Vaikuṇṭhapati Prabhu, His Grace Raghupati Rāmadāsa Prabhu and all other senior devotees who connected us to Kṛṣṇa consciousness, thereby revoking our sambandha. We got inspired with each of your these disciples and were eager that if the disciples are so great, how great the source will be and now we are feeling your greatness at each step of our life.

Our great obeisances to His Grace Śrīvallabha Prabhu yātrā leader of Dāmodara Deśa and all other devotees who gave us shelter and started abhideya. At Dāmodara Deśa only we started practicing and serving under the instructions of your another set of great disciples His Grace Śrīvallabha Prabhu and Her Grace Sītā Cāru Mātājī and the full team of senior Vaiṣṇavas. As His Divine Grace Śrīla Prabhupāda had selected gems from all around the world, I could experience in Middle East you have done the same and have gathered the real gems and not only middle east these gems are spread to each small city and village too.

I was reading your book “GaurāṅgaGolden Incarnation of Divine Love and found this is really nectar which flowed in your various lectures. This book is compilation of more than 250 pastimes of Caitanya Mahāprabhu and this book let anyone know how much nectar Caitanya Mahāprabhu spread and you are the real source of that nectar for all of us.

Guru Mahārāja this year I lost my father who was my śīkṣā-guru and I could learn many things from him in life, how to lead a disciplined and dedicated life surrendered to spiritual master. But with your mercy we are able to capture his two books Bhagavad-gītā ślokas easy to read in Devanagarī lipi and all śtutis of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam in easy to read format. We are planning to do a Bhāgavata-saptāha in his memory as per his instructions to be done within one year of death. Need your mercy to perform this Bhāgavata-saptāha in the best possible way.

On this appearance day of yours, we are praying at your lotus feet that please give an iota of this determination and dedication in Kṛṣṇa consciousness so that we can be a little sparrow in serving you and ISKCON community as a whole. We are so blessed that we had taken your shelter and are trying to spread the glories of Śrīmad-Bhagavad-gītā and Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam through electronic/physical means. Please bless us so that we can continue helping you in spreading Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

As our sons Nalin and Nilesh are growing young and almost reached marriageable age, Nalin 26 is working for Amazon in USA and Nilesh 25 working for a consultancy firm PWC in London, we are little worried what kind of partner we will get for them and how they can remain in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Need your mercy and blessings to find a right match for them so that they all can progress in kṛṣṇa-bhakti.

Your humble servants,

Vraja-līlā Nātha Dāsa, Śyāma Mohitā Devī Dāsī
