Vyāsa-pūjā 2023

Sārathi Śyāma Dāsa (Raichur - India)

Dear Śrīla Gurudeva,

 

Daṇḍavatas at your lotus feet
All glories to you
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda
All glories to Śrī Gaura-Nitāi

On this most auspicious occasion of your Grace's Vyāsa-Pūjā, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart, for you have taken this most difficult task of delivering many souls, from the clutches of māyā in this world of miseries and full of darkness. It is Kṛṣṇa’s mercy to be your disciple. 

Gurudeva, you helped millions a  lot by awakening the dormant Kṛṣṇa consciousness in their hearts. Your lectures, daily newsletters, and ecourse are truly enlightening and inspiring. Your answers to questions are really helping immensely to grow in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. I can only express my sincere gratitude to your service by writing this offering to you on your Vyāsa Pūjā day.

Śrīla Gurudeva, there is no greater fortune than getting the shelter of a bonafide spiritual master like you. You are practically teaching us how to complete our Japa rounds irrespective of bodily conditions. 

kṛṣṇa-bhakti-rasa-bhāvitā matiḥ
krīyatāṁ yadi kuto 'pi labhyate
tatra laulyam api mūlyam ekalaṁ
janma-koṭi-sukṛtair na labhyate

'Pure devotional service in Kṛṣṇa consciousness cannot be had even by pious activity in hundreds and thousands of lives. It can be attained only by paying one price-that is, intense greed to obtain it. If it is available somewhere, one must purchase it without delay.' – (Cc. Madhya 8.70)

We all from ISKCON Raichur congregation are so indebted to you for your unlimited causeless mercy and we really miss your direct association. 

On this auspicious day, we can only pray that we would always be able to remain under your spiritual guidance. Please allow us to serve you always. 

Your eternal servant
Sārathi Śyāma Dāsa
