Vyāsa-pūjā 2025

Tanisq Rawat (Haridwar - India)

Hare Kṛṣṇa, dear Guru Mahārāja,

Please accept my humble obeisances unto Your divine lotus feet.
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!
All glories to Your 76th Vyāsa-pūjā Divine Appearance Day!

I am a fallen soul, but it is by Kṛṣṇa’s blessings that I have received this rare human birth and come to know about Your glories. My respect for You is endless—never ever will it end!

You are:

  • The one who is victorious everywhere. Your very name proclaims this truth to all, just like Lord Nityānanda Prabhu’s flag of triumph that always carried victory wherever it was raised.

  • The one who is endlessly kind and merciful. Your heart overflows with blessings for even the most fallen souls. You become overwhelmed with compassion, O my dear Guru Mahārāja.

I cannot express my feelings for You fully in words.

  • The one who possesses a divine treasury—a spiritual bank account filled with the wealth of mercy, open to deliver any soul of any background, without discrimination.

  • Just as keeping Kṛṣṇa in the center brings perfection and satisfaction to everything, in the same way, keeping You in the center of our Kṛṣṇa consciousness society makes everything perfect.

O Guru Mahārāja, I feel ashamed that even on this sacred day of Your appearance I am unable to serve You or offer anything to You or to Your Godbrothers. And yet, still, I come begging for something:

Please bless me with service unto Your lotus feet.

(And very soon, I shall come to Māyāpur to serve You. I will accept whatever service You give me, and I will not fail—because I will have victory with me! After all, I already carry the victorious roar of “Jayapatākā”! You are with me. Please bless me.)

Dear Guru Mahārāja, You are the most dear to Śrīla Prabhupāda. That is why he used to lovingly call You by a short name—such a beautiful gesture, such a divine and eternal bond between the two of you. It was not a relationship of two ordinary humans, but Kṛṣṇa Himself meeting with His own part, residing in another beautiful soul’s body.

You are an eternal associate of Lord Caitanya. Śrī Gaura-candra always resides in Your heart.

On this most auspicious day of Your 76th Vyāsa-pūjā Mahotsava, I humbly beg for Your mercy and blessings, so that I may preach and serve ISKCON and Your Guru Mahārāja throughout my life.

Your insignificant son,
Tanishq Rawat (śikṣā disciple)
