Vyāsa-pūjā 2025

Kṛṣṇa Nāmānanda Dāsa (New Jersey - United States of America)

Hare Kṛṣṇa dearest Guru Mahārāja,

Please accept my respectful obeisances at your divine lotus feet.
All glories to Your Divine Grace!
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda, Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura Gosvāmī Prabhupāda, and all previous ācāryas!
All glories to Lord Nityānanda Prabhu and Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu!
All glories to the ananta-koṭi Gaura-bhakta-vṛnda!

I am fool number one, and without your causeless mercy I have no hope. I humbly beg for your causeless mercy. Only by your mercy can I even begin to beg the mercy of Śrīla Prabhupāda, the previous ācāryas, and Śrī Śrī Gaura-Nitāi and Pañca-tattva.

As Śrīla Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura says in his prayers:

gaurāṅga karuṇā karo, dīna hīna jane
mo-sama patita prabhu, nāhi tri-bhuvane

O my dear Lord Gaurāṅga! Please show Your mercy to this lowly and destitute soul. O Lord! There is no one more fallen than myself in all the three worlds.

And as Śrīla Devakīnandana dāsa Ṭhākura prays:

vṛndāvana-vāsī yata vaiṣṇavera gaṇa
prathame vandana kari sabāra caraṇa
nīlācala-vāsī yata mahāprabhura gaṇa
bhūmite paḍiyā vando sabāra caraṇa
navadvīpa-vāsī yata mahāprabhura bhakta
sabāra caraṇa vando hañā anurakta
mahāprabhura bhakta yata gauḍa-deśe sthiti
sabāra caraṇa vando kariyā praṇati

First of all, I offer glorifications to the feet of all the Vaiṣṇavas of Vṛndāvana.
Praising all of Mahāprabhu’s Nīlācala associates, I prostrate at their feet.
I pray for loving attachment to the lotus feet of all of Mahāprabhu’s Navadvīpa bhaktas.
I offer praṇāmas at the feet of all of Mahāprabhu’s Gauḍadeśa (Bengal) devotees.

Your glories are unlimited.

By hearing each of your classes, I feel deeply inspired to practice devotional service more enthusiastically and submissively. Your words constantly remind me of Śrīla Prabhupāda’s instructions in his classes and purports. In your recent classes from Śrīdhāma Māyāpur, you repeatedly emphasized:

  • Chanting 16 rounds,

  • Distributing Śrīla Prabhupāda’s books,

  • Studying śāstra through Bhakti-śāstrī, Bhakti-vedānta, Vaibhava, Sarvabhauma courses,

  • Preaching and hearing regularly.

This inspired me to push myself and go out to distribute Śrīla Prabhupāda’s books, even though it was difficult to juggle sādhana, service, and job responsibilities.

Your love, spiritual care, and unlimited compassion for all souls inspire me to share that mercy with others—through mahā-prasāda distribution and outreach.

Your unwavering dedication to fulfilling the desires of Śrīla Prabhupāda is astounding. For example:

  • Your recent acquisition of land near Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura’s birthplace, Sūkhadā Kuñja, and the groundbreaking ceremony scheduled for Rāma-navamī (April 6, 2025), inspired me to offer some small service.

  • Your commitment to installing 108 footprints of Lord Caitanya, a desire of Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura, even while hospitalized, shows unstoppable dedication. Already 20–30 installations were completed, and many more are being done during the current sāfārī-yātrā.

  • Your development of powerful outreach platforms like Bhakti-vṛkṣa, Nāma-haṭṭa, Dāmodara programs, and the Navadvīpa-maṇḍala-parikramā perfectly exemplifies your realization of Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura’s vision. Hearing your March 2025 parikramā classes transported me there in spirit—I pray to be there physically next year by your mercy.

Even while fully engaged in preaching, programs, reading, chanting—you find time to reply to emails, personally speak to devotees, and extend your classes beyond schedule despite your health team’s requests. You are truly unstoppable—a victorious, compassionate, loving spiritual father, master, friend, well-wisher, and eternal guide.


I offer my prostrated, respectful obeisances at your divine lotus feet—again and again.
I humbly beg your forgiveness for any offenses I’ve knowingly or unknowingly committed.

We eagerly hope to be in your physical association soon in Śrīdhāma Māyāpur. In the USA East Coast (NY/NJ/DC/PA), devotees are eagerly awaiting your visit. We pray to Lord Nṛsiṁhadeva for your continued good health and strength to carry forward the mission of Śrīla Prabhupāda and the previous ācāryas.

Please keep us always in your shelter and service.

Your insignificant servants,
