Vyāsa-pūjā 2024

Īśvarī Lalitā devī dāsī (Pune - India)

Respected Guru Mahārāja,

Please accept my most respectful obeisances at your lotus feet. All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda! All glories to you!

On this auspicious day of your appearance you have kindly given me an opportunity to contemplate on you and your divine qualities. On the occasions of Narasiṁhadeva’s wing opening at TOVP and Śrī Śrī Pañca-tattva’s mahā abhiṣeka, I was there in Śrīdhāma Māyāpur. I made sure that these few days I would attend your evening class on Śrī Caitanya-līlā. Every day was quite hectic for you, but you did manage time for this class. This was not any ordinary class. It was your ecstasy for Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu which you wanted to share with us. You would cough every now and then, sometimes some important meetings made you late for the class, but you were determined to give us your association by speaking about your favorite subject of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s pastimes. Although your servants wanted you to have dinner and rest early, but you would encourage us to ask questions. Seeing all your compassion for us, even my hard heart started melting. I simply want to remain a dust particle at your lotus feet eternally. In your shelter I feel very secured Guru Mahārāja even in the midst of the disturbances of this mortal world.

Yours in service,
