VYASA PUJA HOMAGE TO HIS HOLLINESS JAYAPATAKA SWAMI 2019
Jay Dear Gurudev!
Happy vyasa-puja day!
In this auspicious day i wanted to offer you this humble vyasa-puja homage:
You gave me Krishna.
Through you i had the chance to take advantage of the matchless gift of Krishna Conciousness delivered by His Divine Grace A.C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada .
You are my Divine Spiritual master the selfless and tireless preacher.
Jayapataka Swami the Flag of Victory of Lord Caitanya.
You rescued me from the ocean of births and death.
You are the Divine torch of knowledge which lights my way.
In my darkest hours you are there to bestow on me your merciful glance which is never in vain.
Even though i am fallen and unable to apreciate your glories as i should,
I always remember that you gave me the precious gift of Krishna Conciousness and are the responsable of the happiness i experience in my life everyday.
You made this fallen, unquallified, with no good qualities soul, someone worth of value, in other words if there is any good quality in my self it is thanks to you.
You are an exalted devotee, a paramahamsa,
You are not an ordinary person as some may pose, you are not victim of a disciplinary sanction.
You are a pure devotee, you dont identify yourself with the body, you are on your constitutional position of being Krishna concious. You are like the waters of the Ganges, that sometimes is filled with bubbles, foam and Straw. You never contaminate. And the spiritually advanced souls always take bath in your holy waters without considering the condition of them.
You are the true spiritual master since you know the science of Krishna Conciousness.
In the holy day of your vyasa puja i bow down at your feet.
You are Srila Prabhupadas dearest disciple.
You understood perfectly well Srila Prabhupadas mission.
You read Srila Prabhupadas books and understood them thoroughly.
You are Srila Prabhupadas humble servant.
You are a worldwide preacher broadcasting the science of Krishna conciousness to thousands of souls.
You are a recognised devotee of the Lord.
You are an eternal associate of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
You are a completely surrendered soul
You are a simple vaishnava.
You are not some sahajiya which preachs to some refined people exclusive high level devotional service.
You are giving Krishna conciousness to everybody!
You are a Gaura priya jana, a dear devotee of Lord Gaura.
You are an acarya, you preach with the example, you have put into practice the process of Krishna conciousness in your own life, you are not just preaching empty words.
You have truly relished the nectar of sankirtana, the congregational chanting of the holy names.
When will i be able to lay down at your lotus feet?
You are an authority of devotional service.
Everything which you have taught me, listened from you, or revealed through the reading of Srila Prabhupadas books by you are true.
You are not preaching some self concocted philosophy, it is veda, knowledge, self evident.
It is said that there are three kinds of knowledge, of which sabda pramana is the best, because it is perfect, it is transcedental knowledge recieved from the authoritative sources and you have recieved it and now you deliver it, so your speech is perfect.
You know the transcendental science of devotional service, you give the most valuable gift of pure devotional service to eveybody.
You relieve the suffering of humanity, you disipate the dense fog of ignorance
And reinstate the suffering souls in their joyous constitutional positions through devotional service.
You fit perfectly with the descriptions given in the Vedas.
Im a fallen soul aspiring at your lotus feet
Im full of false pride
In want of fame and prestige
And still hankering to enjoy the resources of material nature.
Im dull headed and my intelligence is lost due to my past sinful activities.
Im after money and women
Deprived from the association of Vaishnavas.
Im often prey of anger
And in a frustrated mood in life.
And even though im fallen and stumble always with the same stones,
Comiting abominable unforgivable sins.
You always give me another oportunity .
You are so kind that you have accepted this fallen and unqualified soul as your disciple.
I beg you, please be mercyful and bestow your causeless mercy upon me.
I surrender at your lotus feet
Let the world know your glory!
Gurumaharaja Ki Jaya!
Your menial servant
Bahu Rupa Caitanya Dasa.
