72nd Vyasa Puja Offering to His Holiness Jayapataka Swami Guru Maharaja
My Dear Guru Maharaja please accept my humble obeisances at Your Lotus Feet.
All Glories to Srila Prabhupada.
All Glories to Your Holiness.
Before attempting to Glorify You I beg forgiveness unto Your Lotus Feet. I am simply to doing it for my own purification.
Srila Prabhupada once commented that Lord Krishna is already glorified, however He is more pleased when His pure devotees are glorified. Guru Maharaj, the divine presence of pure devotees like Your Holiness is holding the planet intact, else it would have long back been sunk into rasatala on account of being overburdened by the sinful activities of today's godless civilization. If You didn't come what would have happened to this world?
Whatever You do, inspires everyone to surrender unto the Lotus Feet of Srila Prabhupada. By seeing Your exemplary activities everyone a lot of faith in the potency of the process of decotional services. If You didn't come what would have happened to me?
You have appeared to this world to give us Krishna prem. From the very young age You have taken the responsibility of spreading the Holy Name of the Lord all over the world. Srila Prabhupada had given You so many important services which almost seemed like impossible task but You achieved all of it happily and blissfully and made the instructions as Your life and soul.
Dear Guru Maharaja, previously I was sheltered to His Holiness Bhakti Charu Swami Maharaja. But unfortunately when He disappeared from this material world, I was really upset and disappointed thinking about how to proceed further in Krishna Consciousness. Then however my mind instructed me to take Your shelter. Although I have no qualification, I am a fallen soul but still You are so merciful that You accepted me and gave me Your shelter. I shall forever remain indebted unto Your Lotus Feet for showering such causeless mercy on me. You are so compassionate to all living entities and want all of us to go back to Krishna. I am inspired by Your sincerity for service to Srila Prabhupada with humilty, sensitivity and compassion. I aso want to serve Your instructions sincerely to always be compassionate, humble, and always be in association with senior devotees.
On this most auspicious day of Your Divine Appearance, I pray to The Supreme Personality of Godhead for Your good health and well being so that we can get Your Divine association for many more years to come. I beg for Your causeless mercy on me so that I can fully surrender myself to Srila Prabhupada's lotus feet and to serve Your instructions to the fullest of my capacity.
Always seeking Your blessing.
Your most insignificant servent,
Mala Biswas,
Iskcon Panihati,
Kolkata.
