Vyāsa-pūjā 2024

Kṛṣṇa Goparāja dāsa (Mathurā Deśa - Middle East)

Mr Dear Guru Mahārāja,

Please accept my most respectful obeisances unto your lotus feet.

nama oṁ viṣṇu-pādāya kṛṣṇa-preṣṭhāya bhū-tale

śrīmate jayapatākā-svāmin iti nāmine

namo ācāryapādāya nitāi-kṛpa-pradāyine

gaura-kathā dhāma dāya nagara-grāma tāriṇe

First of all, I want to say that I’m indebted to you for my life. My life has completely changed just by hearing about you.

When I first heard about you from the mouth of my sīkṣā-guru Her Grace Kamlāṅgini Cītrā Devī Dāsī, first thought came to my mind was…. Is it possible that somebody can be so dedicated and merciful? I believe that you’re the biggest Tyagi on earth and today our ISKCON is at this level only because of you.

I, gradually, developed two desires in my mind: -

1. I’ve to take initiation from you, personally, in Māyāpur.

2. I want to serve you personally as your menial servant.

Guru Mahārāja…. How can I express how merciful you are. I left Muscat and came back to India and joined TATA in Rajasthan and eventually, lost all hopes of getting Initiations at all…. Forget about seeing you personally. But I just remembered that you are very merciful and I kept my services going on. But I don’t know how you had arranged and suddenly everything fell in line.

We reached in Māyāpur, along with our both daughters… Khanak and Bhumee, spent two days in Hospital in Māyāpur and found myself in front of you taking initiation on next day of Rādhāṣṭami, earlier I’d faith on your mercy and now I’m one who is fortunate enough to get it.

Please bless us so that we can serve you with our body and mind surrendered completely in

your lotus feet.

Your Servant Always,

Kṛṣṇa Goparaja Dāsa,

Pūjita Gopeśvarī devī dāsī
