Vyāsa-pūjā 2025

Parama Puruṣa Nitāi Dāsa (Brisbane - Australia)

Hare Kṛṣṇa Guru Mahārāja,

Please accept my respectful obeisances.
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda.
All glories to Gaurāṅga Mahāprabhu.

All glories to your 76th divine transcendental appearance day.

Your monthly newsletters, Facebook posts, quotes, and lectures have helped me develop more faith in the holy names. Every day I make it a habit to go through your Facebook page and receive all the nectarean information that is so conducive to my spiritual growth. It keeps me spiritually boosted, and I feel connected with you through vāṇī.

Gurudeva, I am making a constant effort to chant my rounds consciously early in the morning. I work at Australia Post on the weekdays. On weekends, I listen to kīrtanas, lectures, and read all your monthly messages. Recently on my birthday, you sent me a personal spiritual message—it made me feel so special and unique to this movement and to You. I feel connected with You and Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. My relationship with you will always remain eternal since we are eternal spirit souls and our bodies are temporary. I have understood that material life is stagnant and that spiritual life is important—full of bliss, unlimited happiness, and ecstasy.

I would like to inform you that last year I traveled to Spanish Fork, Utah, to Śrī Śrī Rādhā-Śyāmasundara and associated with your dear godbrother and godsisters: H.G. Caru Prabhu, H.G. Vaibhavī Mātājī, and H.G. Agnideva Prabhu. I regularly attended the morning programs and evening sessions. I was serving in the kitchen and going out for harināmas. I also attended the Sunday Feast lectures and answered FAQs from guests and visitors. I really like that temple and the devotees there, as the atmosphere is very uplifting and beneficial for my spiritual life.

I have always remembered your instruction to be careful to maintain enthusiasm in devotional service and to cultivate a good service attitude. On this auspicious occasion of your appearance day, please bless this poor, ignorant soul to progress in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, to see the good in every devotee, to never commit any Vaiṣṇava aparādha, to read Śrīla Prabhupāda’s books and biographies, and to become a full-time preacher.

I always listen to H.G. Caru Prabhu’s lectures, and my faith in the holy name has increased. The holy name is the only real medicine in this terribly suffering material world. Please bless me so I can dedicate my life to assisting H.G. Caru Prabhu and H.G. Vaibhavī Mātājī in fulfilling the mission of Śrīla Prabhupāda.

Guru Mahārāja, please, please bless me so I can make progress in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, see myself as a soul, and always remain grateful to You and to Caru Prabhu. Had it not been for both of your blessings, I would still be suffering like a fool. Kṛṣṇa willing, I would like to serve you one day in Śrīdhāma Māyāpur or in the US—wherever Kṛṣṇa sanctions. I wish to deepen my bond with You and with Caru Prabhu.

As it is mentioned in Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta, Madhya-līlā 22.54:

"‘sādhu-saṅga’, ‘sādhu-saṅga’ — sarva-śāstre kaya
lava-mātra sādhu-saṅge sarva-siddhi haya"

“The verdict of all revealed scriptures is that by even a moment's association with a pure devotee, one can attain all success.”

Guru Mahārāja, please bless me with more association with You and with Caru Prabhu so I can develop a higher taste in my spiritual life and improve myself. Please bless me so that in the near future I can visit all the holy places of ISKCON, render service to all Vaiṣṇavas, and receive Kṛṣṇa-prema. Bless me so I can relish the holy name and increase my taste for chanting. Please bless me so that every year I may visit Spanish Fork, Utah, and make myself more indispensable to Caru Prabhu and Vaibhavī Mātājī.

Thank you very much.

Your lowest servant,
