Vyāsa-pūjā 2025

Anuradha Nayak (Bihar - India)

Hare Kṛṣṇa Gurudeva,

I offer my most respectful and humble daṇḍavat-praṇāma at the dust of your lotus feet.

All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda.
All glories to the guru-paramparā.
All glories to your unlimited, causeless mercy.

Wishing you a very happy 76th Vyāsa-pūjā, Gurudeva.
All glories to your holy appearance day.
I pray to Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī for many, many more such appearance days.

mūkaṁ karoti vācālaṁ
paṅguṁ laṅghayate girim

"By the mercy of the spiritual master, the dumb can speak eloquently, and the lame can cross mountains."

Surviving only on your causeless mercy, Gurudeva—whatever I have is you. You are my only lifeline.

Śrīla Prabhupāda made our fortune by giving us you as our eternal spiritual father.

From the past two years, ever since you causelessly accepted me as yours, my life has transformed with many new spiritual experiences. HH Tamāla Kṛṣṇa Mahārāja once said, “Anyone who comes into your life is the mercy-manifestation of guru,” and I completely feel your divine presence as that mercy-manifestation. You are always showering the mercy of Lord Nityānanda and Lord Gaurāṅga upon us.

You practically teach us how to follow Śrīla Prabhupāda's instructions strictly:
– to constantly chant the holy name,
– to regularly read his books,
– and to never give up devotional service under any circumstances.

You never miss any opportunity to give us your divine association and blessings—"Kṛṣṇer matir astu"—and you continuously bless us with the audārya (magnanimity) of Śrīdhāma Māyāpura and Vṛndāvana.
There is truly no limit to your causeless mercy.

I only desire to be a sincere, selfless, and surrendered soul for your pleasure, Gurudeva.

Just as a father smiles upon seeing the small, insignificant endeavor of his little daughter, I wish to please and serve you in that same mood. I have no qualification, yet by your mercy I survive.

I have only one prayer: May I never, ever disappoint you.

Please bless me so that by your mercy I may be able to serve Śrī Śrī Rādhā-Mādhava and your Gaura-Nitāi as per your instructions.

Nothing is mine—except you, Gurudeva.

I am the most fallen, rotten soul, begging for your mercy. I have no qualification to even call myself your spiritual daughter, but I am daring to make this bold claim. Please forgive me.

As Kṛṣṇa gives me remembrance, I will sincerely try to chant for your pleasure.

Please accept me.
I want to be yours, to always serve the dust of the dust of your divine lotus feet.

Your wicker sheltered daughter,
Anuradhā
