Vyāsa-pūjā 2025

Geetanjali khedekar (Pune - India)

Dear His Holiness Jayapatākā Swami Guru Mahārāja-jī,

Please accept my lowly head at your divine lotus feet. All glories to dearmost Śrīla Prabhupāda.

Dear Guru Mahārāja-jī, I beg to offer my deep love and appreciation for you and my insignificant prayers for your good health.

Your services for our Prabhupāda are so tall and majestic that you are one of the most beloved disciples of dearmost Śrīla Prabhupāda.

You have dedicated your whole life for the mission of your spiritual master. You followed the mood of your spiritual master and offered everything grand to him. You are my huge source of inspiration in bhakti. When my dear Guru Mahārāja-jī took Kārtika-yātrā to Māyāpur this time, you so lovingly attended the pāṇḍāl program and addressed the devotees—so enthusiastic, so loving, so cheerful, all the time.

Oh Vaiṣṇava Ṭhākura, I love you just like my spiritual father from the core of my heart. I attended your last year's Vyāsa-pūjā in ISKCON NVCC along with your disciples. It was so overwhelming. I was thrilled hearing your glorification. I attend your Vyāsa-pūjā online also and hear your glorification and address to disciples too.

I take your darśana every day. Taking darśana and praying to dearmost Śrīla Prabhupāda’s disciples empowers me to sustain myself in bhakti and in service of our Prabhupāda. I am too small and insignificant. I fear I may get lost in material life and its struggles, but your darśanas are hope-giving and strength-giving.

I came for your darśana in ISKCON Juhu as well when you had come for medical treatment. It was the best day of my life. I remember each and every moment spent there waiting for your darśana, and then hearing your class. I had your darśana and you placed your stick on my head—my greatest fortune. Devotees were so merciful that they shared mahā-mahā-prasāda with me too. I don’t know what good I could have ever done in my life to earn this causeless mercy.

Please bless me, dear Gurudeva, that I may get initiated by my dear Guru Mahārāja-jī, dear His Holiness Rādhānātha Swami Guru Mahārāja-jī, and may I do humble service in the mission. May I be blessed by the causeless love and shelter of the whole guru-paramparā.

My only shelter is our guru-paramparā, and you are such a supreme commander of the same.

Please kindly bless me, dear Gurudeva. I pray to Śrī Śrī Rādhā Mādhava-jī that I may also get the greatest fortune of celebrating your Vyāsa-pūjā in Māyāpur every year with thousands and thousands of disciples and devotees.

Please accept my humble koṭi-koṭi daṇḍavats, dear Guru Mahārāja-jī.

Your insignificant servant,
Geetanjali Khedekar
