Vyāsa-pūjā 2025

Acyuta Akṣayānanda Dāsa ( - India)

nama oṁ viṣṇu-pādāya kṛṣṇa-preṣṭhāya bhū-tale
śrīmate jayapatāka svāmin iti nāmine
nama ācāryapādāya nitāi-kṛpā-pradāyine
gaura-kathā-dhāma-dāya nagara-grāma-tāriṇe

Dear Guru Mahārāja,

Hare Kṛṣṇa. Daṇḍavat praṇāma.
Please accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda.
All glories to you on your 76th Divine Vyāsa Pūjā Mahotsava.

It would be a great offense for a fallen soul like me to even attempt to speak about you. But by the blessings of Śrīla Prabhupāda and your causeless mercy, I am trying to write something.

After a long period of confusion and doubt in my life, you mercifully accepted a fallen soul like me and granted me shelter at your lotus feet. After searching through many institutions and organizations, I finally found my home in ISKCON. Your devoted disciples—Śrī Jaganmitra Jagannātha Prabhu and Amṛteśa Kṛṣṇa Prabhu—have played a significant role in uplifting a fallen person like me.

Your devotion to your Guru Mahārāja is incomparable. I cannot even imagine how merciful you truly are.

I do not have the qualification to properly glorify you, nor do I possess the qualities of a good disciple or a pure devotee. I only beg for your blessings so that I may spread the holy names of Guru and Gaurāṅga and contribute to the mission of Śrīla Prabhupāda in whatever small way I can.

I humbly pray to Śrī Śrī Rādhā-Mādhava, Pañca-tattva, and Lord Nṛsiṁhadeva to keep you always healthy so that you may continue showering your mercy upon the fallen souls of this world.

If I have made any mistakes in writing this offering, I pray that you forgive me, considering me your insignificant servant.

Your dāsa-anudāsa,
Acyuta Akṣayānanda Dāsa
