Vyāsa-pūjā 2025

Citra Vilāsinī Devī Dāsī (China - China)

My Dear Guru Mahārāja,

Please accept my respectful obeisances.

All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!
All glories to Your Divine Grace!

On your auspicious appearance day, I beg to offer my homage to glorify Your Divine Grace.

As Kṛṣṇa’s glories are unlimited, your glories are also unlimited. The best glorification of the spiritual master is to be an exemplary disciple of the guru. I regret that I am not an exemplary disciple, and thus, I do not have the qualifications to glorify Your Divine Grace. I just beg to report to you my future plan to spread Kṛṣṇa consciousness in China in a more effective way by introducing the Waldorf education system to China, which is a safe and peaceful way to preach in this special country of China.

Śrīla Prabhupāda and Śrīla Gurudeva stressed the importance of education, as the second generation is the support of society and the country.

At present, the education system in China is not perfect, and students tend to refuse to go to school. They stay at home and stop communicating with people. Some of them even commit suicide, causing tragedy to their families.

The principle and method of teaching in the Waldorf education system is to teach students in a natural way. It encourages children and youth to use their bodies and minds to learn and create things according to their own inner abilities, instead of just following teachers' instructions, which usually put them under great pressure.

Waldorf education respects and teaches students according to their individual character. In this way, the students will study and grow up in a healthy and joyful way.

Waldorf education, in some ways, is close to the spiritual realm, as they also teach spiritual subjects like the different elements of the body and reincarnation. Therefore, it attracts people and families of different religious beliefs.

Actually, their teachings and knowledge come from the Vedas, as the foundation of education. Waldorf schools also provide vegetarian meals to students and teachers.

The founder of Waldorf education himself studied philosophies about human beings, and it is a scientific education system in all respects. Waldorf education was introduced in Germany and has a history of over 100 years.

Mātājī Janavililā, your dīkṣā disciple, has been a teacher in a Waldorf school for many years. Her sister is the principal and one of the partners of the school. We also get support from the parents of the students, who trust that this education system will help improve the relationship between parents and children.

We also plan to develop a farming community to facilitate the development of Waldorf education, as it enables children and youth to learn and study in a natural environment. Our friend has been running a farm for some years, and he has raised some cows. He has welcomed us to join his farming business.

Dear Gurudeva, I hope our plan to preach Kṛṣṇa consciousness all over China would please you, and I hope I can be a useful instrument to assist you in fulfilling Śrīla Prabhupāda’s desire, especially in this China mission.

Nothing can be achieved without blessings from Gurudeva and the ācāryas.

I wish you a happy Vyāsa-pūjā and pray for your good health and long life.

Your insignificant servant,
