Vyāsa-pūjā 2022

Dearest Guru Mahārāja,

Please accept my humble obeisances.

All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda.

All glories to your divine service to Śrīla Prabhupāda.

The most auspicious day of your appearance is a beautiful reminder for me, how fortunate am I having you as my eternal guru. The thoughts about your most wonderful personality give me strength for everything I do in my life.

When I make mangal sweets, when I cook for the festivals, when I serve the devotees, when I chant, you are always in my heart.

Whenever I go to the temple and stand in front of Śrī Śrī Rādhā Golokānanda, I’m praying for your good health and praying also Kṛṣṇa to keep you as longer as He can on this earth, so we can have your guidance and your divine association.

Thank you for being who you are, the most loving and compassionate spiritual master a devotee can dream of. Your heart is so merciful, and your kindness to whomever you meet is endless.

Since I became a devotee, 31 years ago, I realized that dreaming about fame is useless. The real fame belongs to guru and Kṛṣṇa. Therefore, I don’t want any fame for myself. But if there is potential in my writing to spread the glories of guru and Kṛṣṇa, and to help ISKCON, then I’m begging you to give me your blessings and mercy to make it as a writer.

Also, my secret desire is to be able to cook for you. I believe in miracles and by your blessings and mercy that can happen too.

I admire you from the bottom of my heart and pray to stay close to your lotus feet life after life, forever.

Your insignificant but grateful servant,

Govinda Līlāmṛta Devī Dāsī (dīkṣā)
