Vyāsa-pūjā 2025

Suvigraha Baladeva Dāsa (Kolkata - India)

Dear Guru Mahārāja,

Please accept my most humble obeisances unto the dust of Your divine lotus feet.

All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda.
All glories to Your Holiness.

It is my great fortune that I am able to write to You on Your auspicious appearance day. Guru Mahārāja, this year is a special year for my spiritual journey because, after Harināma initiation, it is my first homage on Your Vyāsa-pūjā Mahā-mahotsava.

Patita-pāvana Gurudeva, Your compassion toward fallen souls is unimaginable. Many times, I am astonished to see the unconditional mercy You bestow. Although I have a propensity for committing offenses, You are always with me, saving me from this material world (śrī-guru karuṇā-sindhu, adhama janāra bandhu). Without You, I have no hope. In my fallen life, You are the mercy of Śrīla Prabhupāda. No one is like You, Guru Mahārāja.

Guru Mahārāja, by Śrīla Prabhupāda's and Your mercy, I am trying to serve this glorious mission under the guidance of Your son, Śrī Rādha-pati Vaṁśīdhārī Prabhu, at Bhagirathi Bhakti-vṛkṣa, Howrah. Due to my degraded consciousness, I am not able to serve up to the standards.

Humbly, I seek Your blessings so that I may serve this glorious mission without offenses.

Guru Mahārāja, I want to be a puppet in Your hands—please make me dance as You like.

On this most auspicious day, I beg forgiveness for my offenses unto Your lotus feet, and I beg for Your causeless mercy so that I may fully utilize this life for the preaching mission of Śrīla Prabhupāda.

Your eternal servant,
Suvigraha Baladeva Dāsa (Dīkṣā)
