Vyāsa-pūjā 2024

Abhaya dāsa (Pokhara - Nepal)

Hare Kṛṣṇa

All glory to Śrīla Prabhupādajī! All glory to Gurudeva!

All glories to your auspicious appearance day. As Arjuna says to Kṛṣṇa, I am never satiated in hearing your glories, similarly let my heart constantly meditate on your divine glories.

Your appearance to this world is biggest boon to the human mind kind, and fortunate are those who are under the mercy of your lotus feet. Recently we celebrated Nityānanda Prabhu appearance day, the Lord of kṛpā-avatāra. And Caitanya Mahāprabhu being the prema-avatāra flows his mercy to those who have mercy of Nityānanda.

Today, I see mercy of Caitanya Mahāprabhu and Nityānanda Prabhu being accessible to many people, many homes through your mercy and still there are many to get. And your strong desire to help and elevate to these fallen soul is itself inspiring, amazing enlightenment to all of us.

I remember when you came to Nepal at around 2012/13 wherein a devotee asked, “How could you preach in this body condition / how you can tolerate all the difficulties with this health condition?” And in reply you said *I am not this body*

Although, I was totally new at that time, that word went so deep in my heart that still now that word still makes me feel that you are always *simply wonderful*.

I could not comprehend from my mind how could you manage all things to do, with your preaching, book distribution, fulfilling words of Spiritual master, giving class and even sending letters! I sometime think you could expand your body like elevated yogīs does.

Our Nepal had been so mercifully blessed by your spiritual touch. Śrīla Prabhupādajī in one of his discourse said that, in Nepal also strong hold of bhakti will be established. That was mercifully fulfilled by Your Grace, by mercy of divine spiritual master His Holiness Mahā Viṣṇu Mahārāja, His Holiness Prabhā Viṣṇu Mahārāja, His Grace Patri Prabhujī and all other senior spiritual master. And I am sure that in days to come we will be recipient of your mercy.

I never miss out your monthly letter and preaching activities that you post and send to us. Although we are growing slowly, we are still just newborn babies and need lot of guidance and training.

I am eternally indebted to you and whatever I am today is by your mercy. Please bless us that despite our anarthas you had mercifully engaged us in service of Śrīla Prabhupādajī mission and our words, mind and senses always be engaged in kṛṣṇa-bhakti.

Trying to serve,
