Vyāsa-pūjā 2024

Rājivanayana Mādhava dāsa (New Delhi - East of Kailash - India)

Glorification of Guru Maharaj on His Vyasa Puja, April 19, 2024

 

Nama Om Vishnu-padaya Krsna-presthaya bhu-tale,

Srimate Jayapataka Swamin iti namine.

Nama Acharya padaya Nitai Kripa pradayine,

Gaura katha dhama daya nagara grama tarine.

 

Hare Krishna, Guru Maharaj! Our spiritual Father.

Please accept our respectful obeisances on your divine lotus feet.

 

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada

All Glories to your auspicious appearance day.

 

Respected Guru Maharaj,

On your 75th divine appearance day, we are although unqualified and fallen, it is because of your divine mercy and association of your kind disciples that we get some courage to glorify you with the following verses.

 

Eternally sheltered at the Lotus feet of Krishna,

You keep your disciples away from all sorts of Mriga-Trishna.

Opportunities you offer, you give different kinds of seva,

Provide “uttam rasa” and thus fix Krishna in the hearts of jiva.  

 

You are entirely liberated and free from all material desires,

Demonstrate Yukta-Vairagya by fulfilling spiritual desires.

Zoom meetings, lectures, initiations, Garbhadhan sansakar,

You are so benevolent, always eager to do “jiva upkara”.

 

Eager to fulfil previous acharyas’ instruction,

O Acharya padaya, you give us resurrection,

Into a life filled with Gaura Prema and Katha,

Whether Brahmachari, Grihastha or Vanaprastha.

 

You compiled Krishna Chaitanya Leela Book with full energy and enthusiasm,

Whether you were ill, in hospital or there was pandemic spasm, 

Although I don’t have sincerity in Hari-Naam or love for Gauranga,

I have a faith and get tears when I hear you loud “Gauranga”.

 

Srila Prabhupada declared “You are Chaitanya Mahaprabhu’s eternal associate”,

But you are still so humble, merciful and extremely tolerant for everyone to accommodate.   

Dying drunkard gets a Gita Sloka in his ear,

And a dying devotee girl gets Your shelter in her ear.

You care for the youngsters, elderly and the couples,    

Everyone learn from your life as you set several examples.

 

A plethora of medical problems on your material body,

Get more and more people attracted to find a remedy,

Attracted they are into Krishna consciousness,

And thus, they develop Spiritual awareness.

Also, this keeps You under care of your loving disciples,

To provide them Vapu-Seva, purify and strict on principles.  

 

You are the Guru, the father and our Spiritual Doctor,

You are on this planet as a protector and benefactor, 

You correct and teach us without twisting of arms or wringing of ears,

But by your enthusiasm, determination and perseverance seen over years.

 

This Golden Age of Hare Krishna comes in a day of Brahma,

And still we were bewildered and in enigma,

You appeared in 1949 to clarify our suspicion,

And make us live as in a proper civilization,

You removed the darkness of ignorance from inner depths of our heart,

And paved the way to Krishna for our souls to peacefully depart.   

 

Hare Krishna!

 

All Glories to the Spiritual Master!
