Vyāsa-pūjā 2024

Śuddha Sucitrā devī dāsī (Sydney - Australia)

Hare Kṛṣṇa Gurudeva

Begging you to accept my respectful obeisances at your divine lotus feet.

All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda.

All glories to your Divine Grace.

Happy 75th Vyāsa-pūjā Gurudeva.

Today is a very glorious and dearest day to all your disciples. I always think about this - Gurudeva na hoito tabe ki hoito.

I am such an insignificant living being to glorify you. I don't even have an idea how to glorify you. How can I express the divine qualities you possess in words? How can an invisible material ant measure the size of a huge elephant? My eyes are always covered with illusion.

I always think about and wonder how you have chosen to stay back on this material planet to save us from the clutches of material existence. This sacrifice cannot be done by a normal personality. You are a special divine personality sent by Śrīla Prabhupāda and Kṛṣṇa on this earth. You are the embodiment of compassion, love, care, affection, humbleness, great sense of humor and so many. You always teach us by setting you as an example how to lead a Kṛṣṇa conscious life. How to depend on mercy of Guru and Gaurāṅga during unfavorable situations. Before you pass on any instructions you practically show us how to do it. You are an ideal acharya perfectly showing us how a devotee of the Lord and disciple of a spiritual master should be.

How Lord Nityānanda prabhu carried immense compassion on the most fallen souls, all your disciples have witnessed the same mercy and compassion flowing from you like an ocean breaking all barriers of māyā. You are an unbelievable miracle in my life. Even now I think all of a sudden how I came to bhakti. Then the Paramātmā sitting in my heart dictates to my mind. Sorry you can't say how I came to bhakti, my great disciples causeless glance got you in bhakti.

Today whatever devotional service I am able to practice is all because of you and an alms given to this most insignificant mendicant. Still I am not a devotee yet. I will try to become a devotee and practice bhakti in this lifetime. All glories to you and Śrīla Prabhupāda. Thank you so much for giving me this fortune. It's the greatest treasure in my life. One life is insufficient to show gratitude. Countless life is needed to sing your glories.

Gurudeva even after so many efforts of me, my mother and sisters, we were unable to convince my dad and 2 brothers to take up Kṛṣṇa consciousness. We always have only one solution: simply falling at your divine lotus feet. Begging your most divine causeless mercy on them.

Begging at your lotus feet may I develop the right attitude, sincerity, dedication and proper consciousness towards bhakti and devotees of the Lord. May I always chant holy names with love, devotion and attention. May I always serve Śrī Śrī Rādhā Gopīnātha, Jagannātha Baladeva Subhadrā mayi, Śrī Gaura Nitāi, Śrī Prahlāda Narsiṁha and Guru paramparā with utmost love and devotion at their Lotus feet. These days Gurudevaa my sādhana is not at all going well. I could able to attend mangala ārati and do my 16 rounds. Sometimes I read Prabhupāda books and listen to the lectures. But sometimes I struggle to do my reading and hearing part. Begging your mercy so that I carry that enthusiasm to read Śrīla Prabhupāda books and listen to the lectures. May I always take shelter at the dust of your lotus feet and serve eternally.

My sincere prayers and gratitude at your Lotus feet for blessing my entire family with bhakti.

Begging at the lotus feet of Lord Narasiṁha dev for your good health.

Your insignificant servant
