Vyāsa-pūjā 2023

Bāla Nimāi dāsa (Lalitpur - Nepal)

Hare Kṛṣṇa dear Guru Mahārāja!

Please accept our respectful obeisances unto your divine lotus feet. All Glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda! All Glories to Śrīla Gurudeva!

Dear Guru Mahārāja, we, being unqualified, are getting the opportunity to write the glories of Your Divine Grace. Thank you for inspiring us in different ways. Seeking your blessings for the attempt to glorify your divine grace on the glorious 74th Vyāsa-pūjā celebrations.

Just by listening to your services to Śrīla Prabhupāda, going through so much with the health issues, your love towards Śrīla Prabhupāda makes us feel so fortunate and inspired. Being blessed by Your Divine Grace, we can feel that courage to do more services. We know that we are not qualified enough but by your mercy we are push-to-do more services. But due to our conditionings we are pulled down again and again. In spite of these conditionings, with your inspirations, through devotees and services, we are pushed forward again and again. We are very grateful for your guidance and inspirations dear Guru Mahārāja.

We have seen, how this Lalitpur Yātrā had started by your blessings, from a Bhakti-vṛkṣa group in 2016 added to two which consisted devotees who could barely read and write. With the guidance of His Grace Aravinda Kṛṣṇa Prabhu and Her Grace Yamuneśvarī Mātājī, we were blessed that the devotees were empowered by Your Divine Grace and they have started their own Bhakti-vṛkṣa groups now. We all need your guidance, inspiration and mercy further more so that many more souls can be the part in the mission of Śrīla Prabhupāda with proper mood and service attitude. They are inspiring many more souls by your mercy dear Guru Mahārāja. Please shower your blessings upon us that we can serve together in that proper mood and service attitude, together to cover our whole district in propagating Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

With the start of Bhakti-vṛkṣas, we managed to start a small center with Saturday Festival every Saturday under the guidance of His Grace Rāma Hari Prabhu and headed by His Grace Nara Nārāyaṇa Prabhu in 2017. To our surprise, we could see the number of devotees growing and the yātrā getting bigger. And with growth many more challenges were also growing. By your blessings, we able to move forward sorting out the challenges. We could see how the mercy is manifesting. Please keep showering your mercy so that every devotees connected could feel the mercy and share it to many more souls.

Before the covid, Bhakti-vṛkṣa Nepal headed by His Grace Viśvajit Vrajeśa Prabhu, started to work together on expansion of Bhakti-vṛkṣa in Nepal. 13 devotees are there in the group, meeting weekly for the expansions. But due to covid we could do nothing. But you inspired us through your example, and we started online as well. There are many services which are pending and needs organized and executed. We would like to get your blessings and pray for the intelligence to sort them out, work on the quality of services and multiply groups. And may all the devotees engaged in the team have right mood and service attitude in the mission of Śrīla Prabhupāda multiplying the groups.

We need to improve our sādhana as well which you have shown us with examples. Please bless us so that we can get upto the mark where we can systematically study Śrīla Prabhupāda books and improve on our sādhana with services. With increase in the services, we are being engaged more to be Kṛṣṇa conscious which is the manifestation of your mercy. Please forgive us for our offenses committed knowingly or unknowingly dear Guru Mahārāja. More responsibilities are manifesting but without your mercy we will not be able to manage and execute them. We were blessed with a baby girl at the end of last year, our responsibilities have increased with the services. Please bless us that we can execute our responsibilities and services properly. Please shower your mercy upon us that all the obstacles in the devotional services are removed and we can be the proper instruments in your service in mission of Śrīla Prabhupāda.

Dear Guru Mahārāja, you have heart to heart connection with everyone of us. May that connection deepen more and more. This connection makes us inspired and enthusiastic. May all the devotees in our yātrā and Bhakti-vṛkṣa groups get that connection so that all of us can be always inspired and enthusiastic in the service and mission of Śrīla Prabhupāda.

Thank you, dear Guru Mahārāja!

Trying to serve with your blessings,
