Dear Guru Maharaj,
Please accept my respectful obeisances.
All glories to Sri Sri Guru and Gauranga!
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
All Glories to the previous acharyas!
Today is the 72 VYASPUJA, your 72nd appearance day. This day is very honored by me. However, I don’t know how to glorify you. I have no quality to glorify you. If you give me your unconditional mercy then I will be able to say something.
You are one of the most intimate devotees of Lord Krishna presented by Srila Prabhupada. You are distributing the causeless mercy of Lord Chaitanya and hoisting the victory flag of Srila Prabhupada. Your mood is like Lord Nityananda, who delivered unlimited fallen souls without considering their fallen condition. You are also here to deliver me, such a fallen soul, who is a greater offender then Jagai and Madhai!
O Savior of Mundane,
You saved me from the mundane society with diksha, but I am such a fallen soul, that I cannot follow all your orders and instructions properly. My respectful obeisances to you.
Your Divine Grace has changed the world.
If you had not come into my life,
My life would never have progressed.
I was fallen in a deep, blind well—
Only you could save me from Hell.
In your presence, everything glows,
As everyone who meets you knows.
Through your causeless merciful love,
We’re moving towards the Lord’s abode.
You shine light into the darkness,
You give hope to all the hopeless,
You have brought life back to the dead,
You revealed what Lord Krsna said
Please! Please! Please! Help me Guru Maharaj to remove out all anarthas from my heart! Your appearance day, is a day for us to reflect on how truly surrendered we are to you.
As Lord Krsna says in the Bhagavad Gita, He reciprocates with us according to our degree of surrender. Our surrender may sometimes be partial, conditional, or artificial, but our goal should be complete surrender. Guru Maharaj on this most auspicious day, please bless me so that I unconditionally surrender at your lotus feet. Guru Maharaj, thanks for the love and care you have shown to us. Thank you for visiting our house daily and blessing us. We are very grateful to you. I eagerly wait them to spot me so I get blessings. Thanks for birthday blessing for my daughter, Bala Vrnda. It is a special birthday. I remember the day you were showing Tirupati laddu for all us, you were giving us. It shows how much you love us.
Thanks for accepting me and giving initiation. I can never forget all my life January 4th 2020.
However, the real mercy will come to us if we keep your instructions in our heart and genuinely follow them without any deviation. Making progress on the path of Bhakti becomes easy if we fully surrender to Your Divine Grace with our body, mind, words, and very self and remain one hundred percent dedicated to you. You are the transcendental boatman who can help us cross the ocean of material sufferings, provided we follow you with full faith and determination. Those who are ready to accept your mercy will be the ones who will be able to go back home, back to Godhead. In your instructions, you once said that “There is no way to control the mind except to be engaged in Gauranga Mahaprabhu’s Sankirtana movement. We should always think of ways to engage ourselves in the service of the Lord and His devotees. This is the only way to control the mind”. You also mentioned that the secret of success in Krsna consciousness is to push ourselves to the best of our ability and capacity to serve, so I would like to offer my services at your lotus feet to the best of my capability.
Guru Maharaj from day of your surgery, I am doing Nirjala Ekadashi but from 2019 January 4th from initiation day I am chanting 64 rounds on every Ekadasi and hosting call for chanting many devotees also join me in chanting 64 rounds.
After my first spiritual birthday I increased my Ekadashi sadhana. I am doing Nirjala Ekadasi 64 rounds and all night chanting. We also read the Glories of Ekadasi (Ekadasi Mahatmya) every Ekadasi on the call so more people benefit from hearing I am even hosting midnight chanting with many devotees joining call for chanting.
Every day also I chant my rounds before 6:00 am, I chant daily 21 rounds.
I teach kids 2 to 6 years old story from Bhagavatam.
I co ordinating calls for Srimad Bhagavatam and Sri Caitanya Caritamrta, I upload classes to YouTube and I help as technical team to organize calls .
Please bless me so that my stupid mind does not trick me and push me to jump out of your transcendental boat!
Your insignificant servant,
Vinita Gandharvika Devi Dasi,
