Report Baroda, India, 2018

Dear Guru Maharaja,

Hare Krishna. Please accept our humble obeisances at your divine lotus feet.

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada. All Glories to you Guru Maharaja.

By your mercy we had a nice celebration of your Vyasa Puja at ISKCON Baroda temple. We shifted to Baroda in 2010. We have been celebrating Your Vyasa Puja since 2011 at our home. It’s your mercy Guru Maharaja that since last 3 years we are celebrating your Vyasa Puja at ISKCON temple. 

Every passing year devotees’ participation is increasing. Nice stage with flower decoration was arranged in the temple room. 134 Bhoga were offered to you Guru Maharaja. 

We had your video lecture played in the temple room. Many devotees glorified and offered their homages to you. After that we had Pushpanjali, Guru Puja and than Ekadasi Feast Prasadam was served to @ 275 devotees. By your mercy we could serve 9 different preparations and devotees were very excited for having so many preparations on Ekadasi. Many devotees said that first time they had so many items on Ekadasi day. Everyone was very happy. 

Vyasa Puja Celebration was published in the News Paper next day with Picture. 

We are attaching herewith some snaps of the Vyasa Puja Celebration with News Paper Cutting.

Due to lack of time all your disciples could not read out their homages so we are celebrating your Smruti Vyasa Puja on coming Sunday as last Saturday we had Sri Ram Navami Celebration for attracting the new crowd for our Bhakti Vriksha Program. We had nice cultural programs where children programs with dance and drama was the main attraction.

Guru Maharaja, it is only due to your causeless mercy and empowerment that majority of your disciples at Baroda have taken up the preaching services.

Guru Maharaja, here we disciples are gathering in weekends for chanting extra rounds as our prayers to the Lord for your physical health recovery. During weekdays devotees are chanting extra rounds at home. Also, we are doing 4 parikramas to Tulsi Maharani on your behalf.

Guru Maharaja, only by your mercy and association, it is possible for all of us to go on with our devotional services. Please bless us all that we all become serious and sincere in practicing and preaching Krishna Consciousness.

Your spiritual children,
