Vyāsa-pūjā 2025

Sayan Debnath (Kolkata - India)

Guru Mahārāja, the Torchbearer of the Holy Name

Guru Mahārāja, you have dedicated your life to the saṅkīrtana movement, ensuring that every town and village receives the holy names of Kṛṣṇa.

You have personally led harināma-saṅkīrtana across South America, China, Africa, the Middle East, and so many places where people had never seen devotees before. You have started major kīrtana festivals, including the World Holy Name Festival, inspiring thousands to chant and dance in ecstasy.

Even after your stroke, when your body did not allow you to sing as before, you still encouraged devotees to chant, to lead kīrtanas, to never stop the movement of Lord Caitanya. Your enthusiasm for kīrtana is so contagious that even young children and elderly devotees become inspired to sing and dance.

Your kīrtanas are not ordinary—they are filled with pure devotion, with the power to melt even the hardest hearts. Guru Mahārāja, your love for the holy name has touched millions of lives, ensuring that Mahāprabhu’s mission continues to spread, unstoppable, like an ocean of mercy.
