Vyāsa-pūjā 2023

Divya Rādhārāṇī devī dāsī (Minneapolis - United States of America)

nama oṁ viṣṇu-pādāya kṛṣṇa-preṣṭhāya bhū-tale
śrīmate bhaktivedānta-svāminn iti nāmine
namas te sārasvate deve gaura-vāṇī-pracāriṇe
nirviśeṣa-śūnyavādi-pāścātya-deśa-tāriṇe

Hare Kṛṣṇa Guru Mahārāja,

Please accept my respectful obeisances.

How are you Guru Mahārāja?

This past year has being completely life changing, both materially and spiritually. One year ago in Atlanta, you accepted me as your disciple which is something that I will be eternally grateful and truly stunned about. Since then my life has completely changed in a positive way. While my sādhana may not still be at the level I want it to be I have faith that through your mercy, anything is possible for me. I don’t know what the next step for me is Guru Mahārāja but, I can confidently state that no matter what happens, I want to grow in my Kṛṣṇa consciousness. While my studies are taking up a rather large portion of my day-to-day life, I want to advance in my Kṛṣṇa consciousness and this is only possible for me through your blessings and mercy. So, on this auspicious occasion of your Vyāsa-pūjā, I want to take the chance to sincerely thank you for all of your blessings and mercy that you have showered on me so far and also, beg you to keep blessing me so that I someday amount to some semblance of a devotee. This year has been a roller coaster and yet, I can confidently say that my mind has never been clearer. You along with my śīkṣā-gurus have brought me so far and I know that your mercy is the only thing that can and will propel me further. So Gurudeva from the bottom of my heart, thank you for everything you have done for this soul and please help me continue to grow so that I may preach the glories of Lord Caitanya.

Please forgive me for the countless offenses I have undoubtedly committed.

Your insignificant spiritual daughter (who is trying to get better),

Divya Rādhārāṇī Devī Dāsī
