Vyāsa-pūjā 2020

Śānta Lakṣmī Narasiṁha dāsa (Mayapur - India)

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj.
Please accept my respectful humble obeisances unto your lotus feet.

Dear Guru Maharaj,
You are ocean of so many good qualities, that it is very difficult to fathom any of them. Anyone who meditates on these qualities, will surely understand how great it is to have such qualities,how rare it is to have it in such magnitude, and how difficult is it to inspire this in others.

Like your concern for devotees, during the Covid crisis,Nepal earthquake,etc, your patience in dealing with devotees and projects is very heart touching. When I hear your old lectures, I remark that you had started discussing about TOVP from the early 1980's. You had been  patient and meditating on TOVP, and now it's 2020. 40 years is quite a time to wait for the project to manifest. Srila Prabhupada had said that devotees are the wealth of ISKCON, and one can rightly conclude that you are the richest person now in this world. I have a personal experience of your immense patience. Even though I am unworthy and don't deserve to be initiated , still knowing this you accepted me as your disciple. Although you have so many disciples, still you remember many of their names and faces, invoking great emotions among your disciples. Although someone can say this is a material skill but still it can be safely concluded that unless one has genuine love and care from the heart for the devotees, for the previous acaryas, even if materially skilled he wouldn't be willing to do it. 

Your association is the greatest treasure which one can achieve in this lifetime knowing for certain one someones associates with you , his all perfection in spiritual life is guaranteed.


I seek blessings that I can execute Srila Prabhupad's desire of having Chaitanya currency in Mayapur, and also building a very gorgeous ISKCON temple in Deoghar

Your unworthy servant,
Shanta Lakshmi Narasimha Das Brahmachari,
IYF, ISKCON Mayapur
