Vyāsa-pūjā 2025

Jaya Gopāla Kṛṣṇa Dāsa (Kṛṣṇa Kathā Deśa - Middle East)

Our dearest Guru Mahārāja,

Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda. All glories to Guru and Gaurāṅga.

On this auspicious occasion of your Vyāsa-pūjā, these insignificant servants of yours pray at the lotus feet of Lord Gaurāṅga Mahāprabhu and Śrī Nityānanda Prabhu to grant you good health and a long life, so that Your Holiness may continue to fulfill all the instructions His Divine Grace Śrīla Prabhupāda has entrusted to you.

We both were initiated by Your Holiness on 31.01.2014. However, it took some years for us to truly realize the immense value of Your Holiness and the power of your initiation.

At every moment in our lives, we are now experiencing your causeless mercy and blessings. We have come to understand that without your blessings, nothing is possible—neither in our spiritual lives nor in our material circumstances.

We are sincerely striving to give utmost importance to chanting the holy name of the Lord, carefully avoiding offenses—whether to Vaiṣṇavas or non-Vaiṣṇavas. In recent times, we’ve come to feel that you are personally assisting us to achieve this goal.

Out of your boundless mercy and compassion for fallen souls, you have given us shelter, though we are entirely unqualified. Like Śrīla Vāsudeva Datta Ṭhākura, you are accepting the karmas of your disciples and enduring suffering in your gross body. It pains us deeply to see the difficulties you face due to this divine sacrifice, undertaken solely to uplift fallen souls like us. Truly, you are para-duḥkha-duḥkhī—you cannot tolerate the suffering of others.

Nothing deters you from spreading the saṅkīrtana movement of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu—not health, not adversity, nor any material obstacle.

Until you entered our lives in 2010, we were living like dogs and hogs. Your Holiness mercifully pulled us out of that abominable state and brought the light of Kṛṣṇa consciousness into our lives.

We are eternally grateful to Your Holiness for transforming our lives.

We have one humble request, Guru Mahārāja:
Please bless us so that we may love you with all our hearts and sincerely serve your mission—life after life.
We beg for your mercy, without which we have no hope of remaining on this path.

Your insignificant servants,
Śyāmalī Prema Devī Dāsī
