All Glories to Sri Mayapur Dham
All Glories to Hare Krsna Maha Mantra,
Dear Srila GuruDeva
Please accept my respectful obeisances
By Sri Sri Radha Raman mercy , i thought about Maharshi Veda Vyasa on your Vyas puja day .
With folded hands I offer my heartfelt gratitude and reverence to you, the embodiment of wisdom and compassion. As your disciple, I am profoundly blessed to walk the path under your guidance. Today, I dedicate the Veda Vyasa Stuti prayer to you, recognizing that you are the living representative of Maharshi Veda Vyasa Guru Parampara .
In this transient existence, obtaining a human birth is a rare privilege. But to receive the mercy of a parampara guru, who carries the torch of knowledge from Srila Vyasdev himself, is an extraordinary grace. You illuminate the scriptures, unravel their hidden meanings, and selflessly share this sacred wisdom with us.
May your blessings continue to guide me on this spiritual journey, and may I forever remain at your lotus feet, imbibing the essence of the ancient teachings. With utmost reverence, I express my gratitude for being your disciple.
