Vyāsa-pūjā 2025

Ānandamaya Śaśilekhā Devī Dāsī (Mayapur - India)

Dear Guru Mahārāja,

Please accept my respectful obeisances at Your lotus feet.
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda.
All glories to Your divine appearance.

Śrīla Gurudeva, I always feel completely insignificant to glorify Your majesty. Still, I am attempting to offer this glorification by taking the blessings of Śrīla Prabhupāda and all the Vaiṣṇavas.

Gurudeva, You are an inspiration to me, especially as I face many difficulties in practicing Kṛṣṇa consciousness in my gṛhastha life. You have been relentlessly fulfilling the instructions of Śrīla Prabhupāda, even while enduring countless hardships, just to show Your love and devotion toward him. You are always eager to give Kṛṣṇa consciousness to each jīva without discrimination, only thinking of how to take them all back to Godhead. You desire that all Your disciples practice Kṛṣṇa consciousness sincerely and try to give it to others.

Guru Mahārāja, by Your divine grace, I was initiated on 11th February 2024 at ISKCON Juhu, Mumbai, during my pregnancy. This happened solely by Your causeless mercy. After delivery, however, my sādhana has become disturbed. While I was able to practice in my hometown, now it has become more difficult due to caring for my son, Jaydev, and also for my elderly father-in-law and mother-in-law. My mother-in-law’s frequent health breakdowns have made it even more difficult for my husband, Jīva Pāvana Gaura dāsa—who is also Your disciple—to maintain his sādhana steadily, as he struggles between material and spiritual responsibilities.

Guru Mahārāja, I humbly beg for Your blessings for a steady Kṛṣṇa conscious gṛhastha life. I especially seek Your blessings for our son, Jaydev, that I may raise him in a Kṛṣṇa conscious environment and give him the priceless gift of devotional service.

Guru Mahārāja, I want to please You by sincerely carrying out Your instructions. Please bless me with the strength and purity to do so.

Your insignificant servants,
Ānandamayi Śaśilekhā Devī Dāsī and
Jīva Pāvana Gaura Dāsa
