Vyāsa-pūjā 2025

Sītārūpa Viṣṇupriyā Devī Dāsī (Hyderabad - India)

Hare Kṛṣṇa dear Gurumahārāja,
Please accept my respectful obeisances at your divine lotus feet, dear Gurudeva.

All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!
All glories to you, Śrīla Gurudeva, on the auspicious occasion of your Vyāsa-pūjā!


nama oṁ viṣṇu-pādāya kṛṣṇa-preṣṭhāya bhū-tale
śrīmate jayapatāka svāmin iti nāmine
nama ācāryapādāya nitāi-kṛpā-pradāyine
gaura-kathā-dhāma-dāya nagara-grāma-tāriṇe


On your Vyāsa-pūjā, I would like to offer you my humble homage. You have blessed me with your association and picked me up from the pool of materially conditioned life. You showered upon me the mercy of Gaurāṅga by initiating me with harināma and gave real meaning to life. But for your mercy, I would be rotting in this material world in the cycle of birth and death.

Thank you so very much, dear Gurumahārāja, for accepting me as your disciple, and also for giving meaningful direction to this human form of life. All glories to you, Gurumahārāja, for giving your personalized blessings on every birthday. Glorious is your audārya and affection towards your disciples. All glories to you, dear Gurudeva, for your guru-niṣṭhā in spite of your illness. All glories to you for being the Victory Flag, radar to the ship, and engine to the train of the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement.

Gurumahārāja, your daily Facebook/YouTube classes on Caitanya-śikṣāmṛta are so wonderful that it makes us feel we are witnessing all of Lord Caitanya's pastimes live. Even your Saturday Bhāgavatam classes from Śrīdhāma Māyāpur are so nectarean.

As per your instructions, I am able to follow the regulative principles and chant the prescribed rounds of the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra. I was also able to successfully complete the Bhakti-śāstrī and Bhakti-vaibhava courses, and now I am pursuing Bhakti-vedānta with your blessings. Whenever and wherever there is an opportunity given by Lord Caitanya, I am able to perform śāstra-dāna. I also organize small home programs on occasions like Tulasī-vivāha, Janmāṣṭamī, and Govardhana Pūjā, so that at least one round of the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra is chanted.

If your divine self and Kṛṣṇa so desire, I would like to take brāhmaṇical initiation from your divine self.

We humbly and sincerely pray to Śrī Narasiṁhadeva, Śrī Śrī Rādhā-Mādhava Aṣṭa-sakhī, and Śrīla Prabhupāda to keep you healthy for many more years to come, so that Your Holiness can serve Śrīla Prabhupāda, and we insignificant disciples can serve Your Holiness and His Divine Grace in every way possible.

Patita-pāvana Gurumahārāja kī jaya!

Your insignificant disciple,
Sītārūpā Viṣṇupriyā Devī Dāsī
