Vyāsa-pūjā 2025

Mansi Joshi ( - India)

Hare Kṛṣṇa Dear Guru Mahārāja,

All glories to you, Gurudeva!
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!

Please accept my humble obeisances at your divine lotus feet.

This is my first Vyāsa-pūjā offering to you, Gurudeva.

First, I want to say thank you for accepting me under your divine shelter. I was a bit tense, unsure if you would give shelter to me or not, as I am so undeserving. But we all know how merciful you are. You are the personification of mercy, freely bestowing Nityānanda Prabhu’s mercy.

One can hear your glories endlessly—you have unlimited qualities, dear Guru Mahārāja.

You teach by your own example how one should accept and follow the instructions of his spiritual master as his very life. You are so compassionate; I have never heard of you rejecting someone who comes to you. Just as Nityānanda Prabhu’s mercy is unlimited, so is yours.

I beg to receive dīkṣā from you, Guru Mahārāja. You are the only hope in my life. I am nothing without you.

Please forgive me, Gurudeva, for the offenses I have committed toward you.

I beg for your blessings and mercy, so I can do some sincere service to please you and Śrīla Prabhupāda.

Your unworthy sheltered daughter,
Mansi Joshi
