Vyāsa-pūjā 2024

Tapesh Upadhyay (Ujjain - India)

Hare Kṛṣṇa dear Guru Mahārāja ji please accept my humble obeisances at your divine lotus feet

Dear Guru Mahārāja last time when I wrote my first vyas pūjā offering to you I had asked for blessings so that by next time I can write it as your duly initiated disciple and by your causeless and limitless mercy on the ignorant and incapable person like me you accepted me as your spiritual son on the auspicious day of appearance of Śrī Campakalata devī, a day after Rādhāṣṭami on Śrīdhāma Māyāpur. I felt completely sheltered and protected after receiving the beads and mantra from your holiness. I remember every instruction that you mentioned in the initiation lecture given to us right after initiation where you asked all of your 600 newly initiated disciples to become the ācāryas by reading Śrīla Prabhupāda books, you asked us to get the Śāstrī degrees and I’m trying to follow up your instruction by doing Bhakti-śāstrī . Guru Mahārāja, you are an inspiration for every individual to dedicate their lives in the service of Shrila Prabhupāda through ISKCON, be it students, working people, Brahmacārīs, Gṛhastha’s and sannyāsīs everyone is mesmerized by seeing your dedication and attachment for fulfilling the instruction of Śrīla Prabhupāda. One devotee asked you in the Utkarsh camp how you ISKCON in 2050, to which you replied that you do not have any time to think about it because you are very busy fulfilling the vision of Śrīla Prabhupāda.

Dear Guru Mahārāja all of your activities like travelling to various temples in India and even outside, opening new temples, installing deities, installing the lotus footprints of Lord Caitanya, giving classes daily, accepting new disciples, actively participating in the meeting of co-directors for TOVP and meeting as GBC and helping all of your disciples in every possible way that you can, in this physical condition where an ordinary person would have given up all the hopes of living is truly inconvincible and beyond the human capacity. Your instruction of conducting the weekly JSSS meeting with godbrothers and sisters is helping me always connect with your wonderful pastimes. The senior disciples' talks like His Grace Mahā Varāha Prabhu ji, His Grace Revatīpati prabhu ji and His Gracea Ajeet Gopīnātha prabhu inspire us to dedicate ourselves to the service and instructions of Śrīla Guru Mahārāja.

But despite having such a great spiritual master, I feel myself to be very incompetent and ignorant to do anything for his service, recently Guru Mahārāja was in Ahmedabad and I had the opportunity to go for the personal service of your holiness but due to ignorance, I did not go. I pray to Śrīla Guru Mahārāja so that I can overcome my conditioning and do something tangible for the service of devotees.
Your insignificant Servant
