Vyāsa-pūjā 2024

Hare Kṛṣṇa Guru Mahārāja,

Please accept our humble obeisances, (My wife and me). We are from Sanja ynagar Bhakti center under the Leadership of His Grace  Vikram Baldeva Prabhuji and Her Grace Premamayī Mātājī. We are fortunate that we are under your shelter and blessed having you as our Guru Mahārāja. I sincerely personally would want to serve Guru Mahārāja. Every time I see Guru Mahārāja I get sad because of his health and at the same time get motivated looking at Guru Mahārāja by the dedication he has for his Guru Mahārāja Śrīla Prabhupāda. I had several occasions where I had darśana of Guru Mahārāja. Once in South Temple in Bangalore before initiation, in the crowd I touched the feet of Guru Mahārāja and I loved it. Later I got to know that we shouldn't be touching Guru Mahārāja because our karma would go to Guru Mahārāja. My sincere apologies for the mistake of touching Guru Mahārāja's lotus feet.

I would like to share my experience on the initiation day I had. Was fasting for initiation but at time was drinking water. Then come the time was with Guru Mahārāja to take initiation. Was holding mālā other end and Guru Mahārāja holding mālā other end. That was the first time I had eye contact with Guru Mahārāja, couldn't dare to look into eyes of Guru Mahārāja and at the same time was feeling very happy for getting the association of Guru Mahārāja for few seconds or minutes. It's the experience and the feeling which can't be described while I was with Guru Mahārāja at that moment. Moment I got initiated from our Guru Mahārāja, I was feeling so light inside me and never in life I had that feeling in my life. It was there for approximately 30 minutes and after that I never get the same light feeling again. I felt I got blessings & mercy from Guru Mahārāja. Every time who gets initiated I always ask them what was their feeling at the time of initiation with Guru Mahārāja and then I share my feelings.

Guru Mahārāja I have a desire to see you as you were before, I mean health wise. Walking, talking as normal.

I end up with sashtang dandvat pranaams to our Guru Mahārāja. Please accept our humble obeiscences and give a chance to serve your lotus feet.

Your Servant
