Vyāsa-pūjā 2025
Hare Kṛṣṇa Śrīla Gurudeva,
Please accept my very respectful obeisances at your divine lotus feet.
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!
All glories to Your Holiness!
Dear Guru Mahārāja,
I want to thank you for all the love you constantly shower upon us, always blessing us with the most precious “Kṛṣṇe matir astu” every day. “Thank you” is not a word sufficient to express my gratitude to you. Your Holiness undergoes so many tribulations just for our benefit, and you show your causeless mercy through this.
As our eternal ācārya, you teach us how we should serve our spiritual master. I pray to Karuṇā-gaura-kṛpāmaya Nitāi to grant me an atom of that love and sincerity, and that alone is enough for my perfection.
Every day I wait for your class and plan my schedule around it. Seeing you speak about your Gaurāṅga is perfection for my eyes, ears, and heart, Gurudeva. These past few classes, as you speak about the holy name, I see your ecstasy and I pray that someday—some lifetime—I may receive even a drop of that love. When you call out “Gaurāṅga! Nityānanda!” I am certain that no soul remains untouched—goosebumps arise and tears flow from every sincere heart.
Thank you, Śrīla Gurudeva, for opening that window and giving us a glimpse into what Kṛṣṇa-prema truly is.
Every day, my prayer to my Deities is that I may serve you in some insignificant way—simply to please and satisfy you. Even as I chant, this remains my heartfelt prayer. I have no qualification or intelligence to serve you, but please, Gurudeva, empower me to satisfy you. Use me as your instrument.
Please forgive me for all the offenses I commit at your divine lotus feet.
Your very insignificant and unworthy spiritual daughter,
Cinmayī Vrajapriyā Devī Dāsī
