Wishing You a Very Happy Appearance Day!

The Vyāsa-pūjā celebration on the spiritual master's appearance day is the most auspicious of all days. On this sacred occasion, we remind ourselves of our duty to lovingly serve and faithfully surrender at the lotus feet of our spiritual master, so that Kṛṣṇa can accept us through His representative.

When we celebrate Vyāsa-pūjā, it has a dual effect—the Supreme Lord is satisfied, and we receive the mercy of the spiritual master, which accelerates our journey toward Kṛṣṇa’s mercy.

It is explained in the Caitanya-caritāmṛta that by receiving the mercy of one’s spiritual master, one will surely attain the mercy of Lord Nityānanda, and then one’s life becomes truly successful.

Guru Mahārāja, please help us and guide us at every step, so that we can understand the real purpose of life and dedicate ourselves fully to Kṛṣṇa consciousness. We are so ignorant that we don’t even know what to ask from You for guidance. Sometimes, we feel it is due to false pride that we do not approach You as we should. Please kindly overlook our shortcomings and continue to mercifully guide us on this path, which is impossible to traverse without the mercy of one’s Guru.


Your Inspiring Example

Guru Mahārāja, despite so many health challenges, You remain fully committed to fulfilling Śrīla Prabhupāda’s instructions. This is deeply inspiring for both of us. Your unwavering determination and surrender in service to Śrīla Prabhupāda and Lord Caitanya’s mission show us that there is no obstacle too great in devotional service.


Our Humble Services

Yāśodānandana Mādhava Dāsa:
Guru Mahārāja, I have the blessed service of stitching night outfits for Lord Narasiṁhadeva and Śrī Prahlāda Mahārāja. Sometimes, I also stitch outfits for the Deities of Rājāpur temple, especially for festivals like the Boat Festival. Every year, on Your Vyāsa-pūjā day, I offer a new outfit during Maṅgala-ārati darśana to Lord Narasiṁhadeva and Śrī Prahlāda Mahārāja.

Lalitā Mādhava-premī Devī Dāsī:
Guru Mahārāja, I have the great fortune of making flower arm garlands for Gadādhara Paṇḍita and ankle garlands for Śrīvāsa Ṭhākura every day. I am also engaged in Bhakti-vaibhava study. Additionally, I make jewelry for the temple Deities.


Our Humble Prayer

Guru Mahārāja, please bless us so that we may serve You and Śrīla Prabhupāda’s movement sincerely.

Please forgive us for any mistakes or offenses we may have unknowingly committed.


Your Insignificant Servants,
