Vyasa puja Homage 2023
Nama Om Vishnu padaya krsna prestaya bhutale
srimate jayapataka swami iti namine
namah acharya padaya nitai kripa pradayine
gaura katha dama daya nagara grama tarine
dear gurumaharaj, Hare Krsna,
please accept my respectful obeisances in the dust of your lotus feet,
all glories to srila prabhupada,
with immense gratitude i bow down at your lotus feet for sharing krsna consciousness with hundreds and thousands of people in this world who otherwise would never have known the purpose of human life.
following srila prabhupada’s instructions you are travelling all over the globe like a titan crushing the influences of kali and establishing the most wonderful philosophy of krsna consciousness to eager humanity who are suffering untold miseries in various ways.
srila ramanujacharya says there are two great ways of charity or dhana. one is jnana dhana and the other is abhaya dhana. of the two jnana dhana is very great but the greatest is abhaya dhana granting fearlessness to a person in this fearful world.
abhaya sthithi is obtained by performing devotional service to the Supreme Lord Sri Krsna. this secret is shared by you to millions of people around the world tyrelessly from the age of 17years when you came in contact with jagat guru Srila prabhupada.
you are fixed up in devotional service to Srila Prabhupada to such a high degree that the world has rarely seen. even in this condition of your health your devotion to your spiritual master is laser focused.
in the process of serving srila prabhupada so intensely you are showing the high degree of love you have for your dear gurudeva which is the only purpose of your existence.
your surrender to Srila Prabhupada is so perfect that the world is looking at you with amazement at what all you have achieved in the past 50 years of your dedicated life.
Srila Prabhupada says commitment is the key - so you have the key to unlock the unlimited potency of the Supreme Lord thru your commitment to srila prabhupada.
even though your achievements are great in all respects still you remain humble under all conditions and guide humanity in the proper understanding of what it means to be humble.
when you had the brain hemmorage in 2008 and got admitted to bhaktivedanta swami hospital in mira road mumbai everyone were in anxiety, but miraculosly by the mercy of Lord krsna and srila prabhupada you came out with increased vitality and enthusiasm which shocked the whole world.
then in one lecture you revealed your mood of humbleness by saying ‘the doctors and staff at the bhaktivedant hospital are so nice and taking such good care of people who come there that many have become devotees - maybe one day i shall also become a devotee’ this statement revealed the nature of a pure devotee who never thinks he is a devotee.
gurumaharaj during the ILS2023 you were awarded the bhakti vaibhav degree and all the devotees were amazed seeing your commitment to fulfill another of srila prabhupada’s wish that all his disciples and grand disciples should study and get degrees like bhakti sastri bhakti vaibhav etc.
your life is a classic example of devotion to one’s spiritual master - dear gurudeva kindly bless us with a drop of this transcendental love that you have for your spiritual master jagat guru srila parabhupada so that we can carry out your instructions perfectly for the pleasure of Lord Krsna and your good self.
we are trying to study for the bhakti vaibhav and supporting the building of the TOVP which would be one of the most amazing temples in the whole world. all this we are doing for your pleasure oh guru deva - kindly bless us on this most auspicious day so that we can also serve you like you are serving srila prabhupada.
all glroies to your good self
all glories to Srila Prabupada,
all glories to sri sri nitai gauranga,
