Vyāsa-pūjā 2025

Srivallabha Suryawanshi (Attapur - India)

Hare Kṛṣṇa, Guru Mahārāja,

All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda.
All glories to you, Guru Mahārāja.

Please accept my humble obeisances unto your divine lotus feet.

My beloved Guru Mahārāja,
As I gradually came to know of your divine grace, I began to develop a connection with you, a relationship that is growing little by little. Though I am not yet initiated, I aspire to be your disciple.

There was one photo of your divine grace where it was written, “Your Gurudeva knows everything about you—whether you cheat, love, or serve anyone. Gurudeva is always watching from behind.”

When I read this, I couldn’t fully understand. I read it again. And then the realization struck me...

Guru Mahārāja, you know everything I have done—those things are not good. I don’t know what will happen to me... Whether I will be accepted or not. But I remember:

śrī-guru karuṇā-sindhu, adhama janāra bandhu
The spiritual master is an ocean of mercy, the friend of the fallen.

You are very, very compassionate. Please, Guru Mahārāja, forgive me for all of my offenses unto your divine lotus feet.

I don’t want to become a bad son. Please have mercy upon this fallen soul and kindly forgive me. Please bless me, Guru Mahārāja, that no matter what may happen in the future, I never leave your shelter, never leave Śrīla Prabhupāda’s shelter.

May I simply become an instrument in the hands of Śrīla Prabhupāda, of your divine grace, of my superiors, and of the entire Gaura-bhakta-vṛnda. May I be squeezed out in your service, with nothing left but the desire to serve.

Please accept me as your disciple.
Though there are countless faults within me, if I receive your mercy, then I know I can overcome them.

Please bless me, Śrīla Guru Mahārāja.


Śrīla Prabhupāda ki jaya!
Patita-pāvana Śrīla Jayapatākā Swami Guru Mahārāja ki jaya!
