Vyāsa-pūjā 2025

Arvindākṣa Govinda Dāsa (Bhopal - India)

Hare Kṛṣṇa

Dear beloved spiritual father, Guru Mahārāja,

Please accept our respectful obeisances at Your divine lotus feet, our hermitage.

All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda.
All glories to Śrīla Gurudeva.

On this 75th glorious, gracious, gorgeous and yet indeed very auspicious Vyāsa-pūjā, we pray at the divine lotus feet of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedānta Swami Śrīla Prabhupāda, Śrī Śrī Rādhā Mādhava and Aṣṭa-sakhīs, Śrī Pañca-tattva, Śrī Prahlāda Narasiṁha Deva Bhagavān to shower Their choicest blessings upon Your Holiness for the protection of your body with full and speedy recovery, so that Guru Mahārāja can freely distribute Kṛṣṇa-prema-bhakti all over the world—giving Kṛṣṇa consciousness to the whole world, spreading the holy name of Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya Mahāprabhu across the universe—and continue to serve Śrīla Prabhupāda and Their Lordships so lovingly and dearly.

It makes us dumb and deaf, speechless and short of words, to express our profound gratitude—so fortunate and indebted we are to You, dear spiritual father, that You have so mercifully accepted fallen souls like us at Your divine lotus feet as Your spiritual son and daughter. In spite of knowing well that we are full of false pride and ego and prone to mistakes, still You have showered causeless mercy and anukampā upon us—forever and ever; we are truly blessed.

At the dawn of each day, Guru Mahārāja, You demonstrate—despite Your health challenges—exemplary spiritual practices, unflinching faith, and unalloyed devotion at the lotus feet of Śrīla Prabhupāda and Gauraṅga Mahāprabhu. This is a living testimony that Your Holiness is none other than a divine spiritual personality—appeared not only to assist and support Śrīla Prabhupāda as an intimate associate but also to uplift hundreds and thousands of fallen souls like us from all over Mother Earth, with all Your tender love, affection, and care.

Also, Your Divine Grace is so merciful that You have given us a blissful promise—that Your Holiness will take all of us back home, back to Godhead with You, placing us at the divine lotus feet of Bhagavān Gaurasundara Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya Mahāprabhu. For this, we all humbly beg at Your lotus feet, Guru Mahārāja—please bless us all to remain submissive at the lotus feet of Śrī Guru and Gaurāṅga, while sincerely and seriously practicing Kṛṣṇa consciousness as lovingly taught to us by Your Divine Grace. May we all be very careful and vigilant not to commit—knowingly or unknowingly—any guru-aparādha at Your lotus feet, or any Vaiṣṇava-aparādha.

We will remain forever indebted to Your Holiness, Guru Mahārāja, in this lifetime.

Guru Mahārāja, we pray at Your divine lotus feet—please bless us to continue serving You and Śrīla Prabhupāda until our last breath.

Your humble servants,
