Vyāsa-pūjā 2020

Nama oṁ viṣṇu-pādāya kṛṣṇa-preṣṭhāya bhū-tale
śrīmate jayapatākā-svāmin iti nāmine
Nama ācāryapādāya nitāi-kṛpa-pradāyine
gaura-kathā dhāmadhāya nagara-grāma tāriṇe

Dear Srila Gurudeva,

Please accept my most respectful obeisances at the dust of your divine lotus feet, which are the only shelter for countless fallen souls including myself. Thank you so much for accepting this unworthy living being as your disciple and showering your causeless mercy.

Since the time I took Harinam initiation from Your Divine Grace on the auspicious Vasanta Panchami day last year (10 February 2019), my devotional life has been continually improving by your mercy. By your mercy, I am engaging in steady devotional practices and also able to participate in Bhakti Vrksa and Bhakti Sadan programs and services therein, under the care of my parents, Vidura Madhava Prabhu and Keshavi Madhavi mataji. By your mercy I recently graduated with 4th rank from Vishveshwaraiah Technological University, Karnataka with a Bachelors degree in Architecture and I want to dedicate it to your lotus feet. By your mercy, I am now rendering architectural design services for the ongoing temple constructions here and I seek your blessings for the same. 

On this auspicious appearance day, I pray to you to forever remain under your shelter in gratitude, upholding my vows and following in your footsteps sincerely. I also pray to have the constant cushion of pure devotee association by which I shall remain within the fold of devotional service under all circumstances. I pray to be careful to avoid offending devotees knowingly or unknowingly and to be able to serve the Lord and his devotees.

On this auspicious appearance day, I want to re-dedicate myself to you and hope that I shall always serve to please you. I beg the Lords Nitai - Gaura and to Srila Prabhupada to protect your health.

Your aspiring servant,

Lāvaṇyamayī Lakṣmīpriyā devī dāsī
