Vyāsa-pūjā 2022

Īśvara Purī Sevaka dāsa (Mayapur - India)

Dear Śrīla Guru Mahārāja,

Please accept my obeisance at your divine lotus feet. All glories to you on this most auspicious appearance day of Your Divine Grace.

As the representative of Śrīla Vyāsadevā, you have lucidly explained the original teachings of Śrīla Prabhupāda. You are the ideal ācārya because you teach us everything about spiritual life by your personal example. Even though you have been empowered by Lord Caitanya to spread the Holy Name of Kṛṣṇa throughout the world you perform your devotional service strictly following the instructions of your spiritual master. By your personal example, you teach us to accept all austerities to carry out the order of the spiritual master.

Śrīla Guru Mahārāja, you have been very merciful to all of us. It is because of your compaction that we have good fortune in serving Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa. It is because of you we have access to transcendental Vedic Knowledge. It is because of you we can chant and hear the Holy Name of the Lord. It is because of you we know today about Lord Caitanya and the opportunity to serve His mission. It is because of you I had got the opportunity to serve in your Archives office.

Śrīla Guru Mahārāja on this special day I beg your mercy so that I do not forget my first duty which is mentioned in the following quote—’’If one remembers his first duty which is keeping in constant contact with the Supreme Personality of Godhead Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa everything will be successful.’’ Śrīla Guru Mahārāja on this special day I beg you to give me inspiration, intelligent, determination, and strength to accept only those things which please you and reject those things which displease you. Let me always remember the true source of my power and abilities. Please allow me to remain your servant eternally.

Your humble servant,

Īśvara Purī Sevaka Dāsa (dīkṣa)
