Vyāsa-pūjā 2020

Dear Gurudev,

Please accept my most respectful obeisances unto your lotus feet.

It is very pleasing and we are fortunate that out of Your causeless mercy have chosen to stay back in this material world and deliver many fallen souls like me, even though there was a red carpet welcome for You in Goloka Vrindavan.

Thank You very much. A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR GURUDEVA. It is a great joy that we are celebrating the 71 vyasa puja.

A frog in a well cannot understand or perceive the vastness of the ocean, similarly with my limited knowledge and understanding I miserably fail to understand Your transcendental qualities and glorify them to the fullest extent. Please forgive me for any offences and bestow Your blessing on me to glorify You for my own purification.

Gurudev, You have been working tirelessly in spite of Your critical health conditions just to please and carry out the orders of Srila Prabhupada. When You had undergone the transplant surgery the entire devotee community was praying for Your quick recovery though the doctors were very doubtful of the outcome. It was a medical miracle; you had crossed over a great obstacle completely undisturbed and taking full shelter of Krsna. This has been a great source of inspiration for me. In every situation You have been practically demonstrating how to depend on Krsna and carry out the orders of the spiritual master in any material crisis.

The shastras enjoin that the Guru-disciple relationship is a heart-to-heart relationship. I have personally experienced this, where – in many situations I had been meditating on You and have seen an immediate reciprocation from You. Recently the zoom video call for all the Bangalore devotees was very enthusing and inspiring to see how You desire to personally connect with each one of us.

Gurudev, I completely understand that this material world is so miserable and danger at every step, but still out of ignorance I try to find a comfortable solution, forgetting that - attachment to Your lotus feet and carrying out the orders emanating from Your lotus mouth is the only remedy for any problem. Also this material world is so alluring to sense gratification. I simply pray unto You and request at Your lotus feet that I may not be swayed away by any of these material allurements and be strongly fixed in Your service.

Thank you,

Your insignificant servant,

Maheshwari Vishnupriya Devi Dasi
