Vyāsa-pūjā 2025

Ethiraj Gajabushanam (Gaurāṅga Deśa - Middle East)

Hare Kṛṣṇa!

Daṇḍavat praṇāms at your lotus feet, Śrīla Gurudeva. Please accept my humble and respectful obeisances.

All glories to your divine grace! All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!

First and foremost, I would like to thank Your Divine Grace profusely, Śrīla Gurumahārāja. By your causeless mercy and compassion, I received shelter from you during the year 2019, though I am not at all qualified. By your mercy, I was fortunate to get initiated on March 22.

I am very delighted and fortunate to listen to your daily audio lectures on Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, posted by the Gaurāṅgadeśa Yātrā leaders.

By your mercy, Śrīla Gurumahārāja, I was able to distribute two sets of Bhagavad-gītā books, one set of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, and some small books of Śrīla Prabhupāda during last year.

By your mercy, Śrīla Gurumahārāja, we were able to offer eight devotees for life membership subscription to Bhāgavata Darśinam (Tamil magazine). They are sincerely reading the book, and three of them are now seriously taking up Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

By your causeless mercy and compassion, my son Shyām has started chanting, honoring mahā-prasāda, and is slowly adopting the practices of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. This wonderful transformation is only possible because of your mercy.

I am continuously trying to bring new devotees into Kṛṣṇa consciousness by first encouraging them to attend the Bhakti-vṛkṣa classes conducted by my śikṣā-guru.

By your mercy, and under the guidance of my dīkṣā-guru, I was able to organize the construction of a beautiful ratha at the factory where I work, with the permission of my boss. With that ratha, we were able to conduct a Śrī Jagannātha Ratha-yātrā in our yātrā during the year 2024.

I humbly beg for your mercy and blessings so that we may perform both our material and spiritual duties with the right attitude and a service mood—for the pleasure of Śrīla Gurudeva, Śrī Gaurāṅga, Śrī Kṛṣṇa, and all the Vaiṣṇavas.

On the auspicious occasion of your Vyāsa-pūjā, I offer my heartfelt prayers to Lord Nṛsiṁhadeva to always keep you in the best of health so that you may continue to uplift insignificant and fallen souls like me.

Your insignificant and fallen soul,
Ekalēśvara Hari Dāsa
