Vyāsa-pūjā 2024

To my beloved spiritual father,

Please accept my respectful obeisances on this auspicious day of your appearance.

I'm eternally indebted to you for all the love you have showered on me by giving me your causeless mercy and accepting a fallen soul like me as your disciple.

Guru Mahārāja, whenever I think of you, hear about you, or even hear the Guru Vandana my heart and eyes swell up with uncontrollable tears. I do not cry easily for anything but the one thing that moves me to tears is your thoughts. I love you beyond measure Guru Mahārāja.

From you, love for God emanates, from you spiritual knowledge is revealed, because of you, the love of pure devotees I receive.

You are an ocean of mercy Guru Mahārāja. Please forgive me, I'm unworthy, because of my negligence in performing my devotional service properly at times I put your health at risk.

You have proved time and again nothing is an impediment in serving the Lord and his pure devotees. Even at this age, you continue to preach tirelessly and dedicate time to systematically study our scriptures- your recent Bhakti-vedānta certification accomplishment is an example you set for all of us.

I pray to Narasiṁhadeva to always protect you and encircle you with his care and bestow good health to you and I pray to Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī and Lord Kṛṣṇa to make me an atom at your lotus feet always.

I belong to Śrī Kṛṣṇa, Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī and your holiness Guru Mahārāja and likewise only Śrī Kṛṣṇa, Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī and Guru belong to me.

Long live your glories Guru Mahārāja.

Your servant,

Śrī Lalitā Sumukhī devī dāsī.
