Vyāsa-pūjā 2025

Bhakti Bhāva Devī Dāsī (Mayapur - India)

My Beloved Spiritual Father,

Please accept our respectful obeisances.
All glories to you, and all glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda.
All glories to your 76th Appearance Day!

Although we both feel unqualified to glorify you, we still wish to take this opportunity to write. I say “we” because I write on behalf of my husband as well. Kindly forgive us for any mistakes that may arise due to our ignorance in expression.

As we grow older, our health presents many challenges. However, remembering you makes even perplexing tasks easier. Despite your own health struggles, you continue to preach tirelessly, always eager to fulfill the instructions of your spiritual master. Please bless us so that we may take inspiration from your unwavering dedication and become determined to serve you eagerly—as your instruments.

We are currently in Śrī Māyāpur-dhāma. We come every three months and stay for four to six weeks. All the spiritual nourishment we receive is by your mercy. This year, we had not even planned to join, but somehow, by your arrangement, we became part of Safari 2025 through a spontaneous decision.

It is truly amazing to witness how you manage so many meetings. Your firm resolve to carry on without allowing any interruption in your preaching is what inspires us to preach as well.

We recently hosted a Bhakti-vṛkṣa in a city called Kutch Mandvi. In January of this year, around fifty people attended and heard about Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. I remember your instruction to me: “Just bring people to Kṛṣṇa consciousness.” All of this is only possible due to your boundless inspiration and unlimited mercy.

Thank you for the endless inspiration and love you continue to shower upon us.

Your insignificant son and daughter,
Hemant Swali and Bhakti Bhāvā Devī Dāsī
