Vyāsa-pūjā 2024

Sāśvata Nimāi dāsa (Kolkata - India)

Hare Kṛṣṇa Guru Mahārāja!

Please accept our most humble obeisances unto Your lotus feet!

All glories to Śrīla Guru and Gaurāṅga!

All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!!

Guru Mahārāja, thank you for everything good in my life. I'm very fallen and conditioned, and You're continuing to bestow upon me Your blessings and guidance so that I'm able to continue my bhakti life. Your greatness is unimaginable.

On 2021, eve of Ratha-yātrā, we were bestowed with our daughter whom Your Holiness kindly named as Hemāṅgi/Harita. We could perform all the saṁskāras till date amidst many challenges with the support of our senior godbrothers, and we're forever grateful to you giving us such a loving family. However, in none of the Samskaras including Annaprasan, we could get your direct blessings or physical presence. Hence, although we know that being eternal spiritual master, you're always there with us, still we had that emptiness. We decided for the Vidyārambha Saṁskāra on Nityānanda Trayodaśī day in Kolkata by one of our senior godbrother Sannyāsī and prepared for the program at Nazrul Mancha by Gītā Study Course devotees. On reaching there, we suddenly got to know that you're coming and very unexpectedly, all our senior godbrothers helped us in reaching you, and you very mercifully did the Vidyārambha of my daughter Hemangi on that day. We felt very happy and complete, since it was totally unexpected and you fulfilled our hidden desire such mercifully! Thank you Guru Mahārāja!

Guru Mahārāja, I'm now going through a very challenging state specially in my career. Never before I was in so full of stress every day with so less of time for my own. I'm missing most of the temple services. I'm sure by Your mercy good time will come and I look forward to regularly serving in the movement with all eagerness to serve more. Our daughter seems to be already connected to Kṛṣṇa Consciousness, and we hope by her strength we may be able to do unflinching bhakti someday. Please bless me with unflinching faith and desire to serve the mission of Śrīla Prabhupāda.

Please bless me and my good wife, Pritī Lalitā devī dāsī, so that pleasing Your Holiness becomes our life and soul. At this stage of neophyte it seems a myth but we pray and beg for Your causeless mercy to be able to please You someday with our services.

Please accept my humble obeisances once again, also on behalf of my good wife Priti Lalitā devī dāsī and daughter Hemangi.

Your fallen insignificant servant,

Sāśvata Nimāi dāsa, Dīkṣā Disciple

Kolkata, India
