Vyāsa-pūjā 2025

Sneha Maity ( - India)

Hare Kṛṣṇa, Guru Mahārāja!

All glories to you on your auspicious Appearance Day.

Please accept my humble obeisances unto your lotus feet.

My dear Guru Mahārāja, your level of compassion and mercy for all living entities cannot be measured by any material means... it is unparalleled and unlimited mercy!! Even amidst so many physical challenges, you never ever compromise with your sādhana, nor with your duties and sevā. This inspires me a lot. Honestly speaking, you are the only one who always inspires and motivates me to take to bhakti and join ISKCON.

The love that you have for Mahāprabhu’s dhāma, Śrī Navadvīpa-dhāma, for Mahāprabhu Pañca-tattva, Rādhā-Mādhava, Nṛsiṁhadeva—it is inexpressible, an unparalleled love. I love this so much about you.

Guru Mahārāja, on this auspicious day of your Vyāsa-pūjā, I beg at your lotus feet again and again, only for your mercy and blessings. Please bless us, Guru Mahārāja, so that I may also be able to develop such deep love for Śrīdhāma Māyāpur, and for the lotus feet of Śrī Śrī Pañca-tattva and Śrī Śrī Rādhā-Mādhava, as you have so much love, care, and determination for Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. I beg you—please pour some Gaurā-prema into my heart also. May I be able to develop love and surrender unto Mahāprabhu's lotus feet, Śrīla Prabhupāda’s lotus feet, and at your lotus feet.

Please bless me, Guru Mahārāja, so that I may be able to help you fulfill Śrīla Prabhupāda’s desires and instructions. May I also be able to contribute something in this divine mission.

Guru Mahārāja, please allow me to serve you always. Please bless me, Guru Mahārāja, so that I may be able to serve Mahāprabhu’s mission, follow our ācāryas’ instructions, and serve in Mahāprabhu’s dhāma.

I have no qualification, nor the strength of sādhana, nor the power of my bhakti to properly glorify you on this auspicious day. But still, just like when a small child speaks in front of his father and mother in his childish tone—even if he speaks wrongly or misspells words—still, the parents like to hear it. In the same way, you are my spiritual father and I am your daughter. So I have placed my heart in front of you in this form of words. Please forgive me for any mistakes.

Śrī Śrī Rādhā-Mādhava Aṣṭa-sakhī Māyāpur-candra kī jaya!
Śrī Śrī Pañca-tattva kī jaya!
Śrī Śrī Nṛsiṁhadeva–Prahlāda Mahārāja kī jaya!
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!
All glories to you, Guru Mahārāja!

Your sheltered spiritual daughter,
Sneha Maity (Mumbai)
