Report Canberra, Australia, 2019
Hare Krishna Dear Guru Maharaj!
Please accept my humble Obesiences!
All glories to Srila Prabhupad!
All glories to your Divine Grace!!
We celebrated the most auspicious occasion of 70th Vyasa puja of your Divine Grace at our Ashram Canberra, Australia, and I have tried to report the details for your pleasure. Please forgive me for any mistakes in my attempt to report as this is my first time.
The program started with a wonderful kirtan by Bhakta Venkat prabhu, and then followed by offering of homages. Many devotees shared their wonderful experiences with you Srila Gurudev. The most senior disciple of your divine Grace in Canberra yatra, HG Gaura Varna das prabhu shared few pastimes. Followed by that, HG Ayodhyadev das prabhu (disciple of HG Bhavananda prabhu), HG Madhuacarya das prabhu (disciple of HG Hanumat Presaka Swami) and husband of HG Hareswari devi dasi mj, HG Sathyavrat das prabhu, HG Atulya Krishna das prabhu, HG Yasorupa devi dasi mj, HG Lila Manjari devi dasi mj, Bhakta Venkat prabhu and Bhakta Jyothi prabhu offered homages.
Bhakta Venkat prabhu, Bhaktin Suman mataji, HG Atulya Krishna das prabhu and myself, prepared 15 small offerings, which were offered before puspanjali.
His Grace Sathyavrat das Prabhu, His Grace Vishwarup das Prabhu and His Grace Gaura Varna das prabhu cooked main Ekadesi prasadham at Canberra ISKCON center and Bhakta Jyothi Prabhu trasported them to our home for the Vyasa puja Celebrations. Her Grace Lila Manjari devi dasi mataji made a wonderful Vyasa puja ekadesi cake.
Her Grace Hareswari devi dasi mataji made beautiful Garlands for the pleasure of Your Divine Grace! Bhakta Praveen prabhu (my husband) printed and framed a wonderful picture of Your Divine Grace for the celebrations. My office colleague Bhaktin Srivani mataji did the flower decorations in the altar.
His Grace Gaura Varna das Prabhu lead the pushpanjali with the disciples and well-wishers. Guru puja was performed by His Grace Visvarupa das Prabhu, while His Grace Sathyavrat das Prabhu lead the kirtan. Totally 21 of us participated and had blissful Celebrations.
By your causeless mercy, myself - Vidya svarupini Radha devi dasi, my husband Bhaktha Praveen Prabhu and Bhakta Saranga, got the fortunate opportunity of hosting the Vyasa Puja Celebrations at our ashram. This is the first time all the disciples (initiated, sheltered and aspiring) and well-wishers of your Divine Grace have celebrated the Vyasa puja at Canberra together glorifying your mercy upon us!!
I humbly beg for the blessings of all the devotees and their families at Canberra to serve your lotus feet with unflinching faith.
