Vyāsa-pūjā 2022

My dear Guru Mahārāja

Please accept my most respectful obeisances unto your divine lotus feet. All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda.

I am unworthy to offer your divine grace this Vyāsa-pūjā offering, only by your unlimited mercy I am able to do so.

Dust from the lotus feet of pure devotee is conducive to devotional service, while service to the Vaiṣṇavas is itself the supreme perfection and the root of the tender creeper of divine love.

Pure devotees like yourself are personified places of pilgrimage because you always carry the supreme Lord in your heart. Just by your glance and a few minutes association you purify and engage, fallen souls like us in devotional service.

Oh guru dev, we are greatly in need of enthusiasm in practicing devotional service, firm faith in devotional process, strong desire to attain Prema bhakti, favorable service attitude, avoidance of non-devotees and appreciation of the company of devotees.

Begging you to bestow upon us these qualities so that we can always be at your service to your divine lotus feet. My desire is to serve your lotus feet eternally guru dev. Please give a drop of your cause less mercy to kindly engage me in the Saṅkīrtana movement of Lord Caitanya. This is my humble Vyāsa-pūjā offering at your lotus feet.

Your insignificant servant,
