Dear Śrīla Gurumahārāja,

Please accept our most respectful obeisances at the dust of your lotus feet. All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda! All glories to you! All glories to your 76th Vyāsa-pūjā!

jībēra nistāra hētu nāndā-sutā hāri
bhuvanē prakāśa haila guru-rūpē dhara

On this auspicious occasion of your glorious appearance day, we wholeheartedly offer our gratitude to Śrī Śrī Rādhā-Mādhava, Jagannātha, Baladeva, Subhadrā Mahārāṇī, and Śrīla Prabhupāda for their boundless mercy in bestowing upon humanity the most precious gift—your divine presence.

Dear Caring Father,

As we attempt to compose this Vyāsa-pūjā offering, we recognize our utter unworthiness in describing even a fraction of your oceanic glories. However, just as one worships the Gaṅgā with Gaṅgā water, we humbly attempt to glorify you with whatever little capacity we have, relying solely on your unlimited mercy.

Many members of our family are blessed to be your disciples, yet your kindness extends beyond them. You never forget to wish devotees—even beyond your initiated disciples—on their birthdays, sending heartfelt prayers and blessings. Your compassionate nature knows no bounds. Under your merciful shelter, dear Spiritual Father, we feel a deep sense of security, even amidst the turbulence of this material world.

Dear Ultimate Guardian,

Gurumahārāja, from our past experiences, we can confidently say that your presence in our lives has given our existence profound meaning. On this most auspicious occasion, we humbly beg for your blessings so that we may dedicate our lives to the service of Guru and Gaurāṅga.

O Guide to the Ultimate Truth,

By your causeless mercy, we have somehow received the great fortune of being your disciples. Yet, we are ashamed to admit that, due to our lack of faith and surrender, we often remain confused about the ultimate truth. However, through personal experiences, we have witnessed undeniable proof of your transcendental guidance, gradually dispelling our doubts. Gurumahārāja, please bless us that all our confusions, false ego, and pride may be eradicated so that we may become your sincere disciples.

O the Victory Flag of Śrīla Prabhupāda,

Your unwavering determination to follow Śrīla Prabhupāda’s orders is unparalleled. Your compassion continues to blossom day by day. Yet, due to our misfortune, we have often taken this divine mercy for granted and failed to properly value it. Gurudeva, please forgive us and bless us so that we, too, may assist you in Śrīla Prabhupāda’s mission, just as your dedicated disciples do.

O Living Example of Prema-bhakti,

Your merciful glance and your thunderous call of “Gaurāṅga!” and “Nityānanda!” are more than sufficient to ignite Kṛṣṇa consciousness in anyone’s heart. Gurumahārāja, please bless us so that we may always remain immersed in Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

Dear Śrīla Gurumahārāja,

Despite facing countless challenges, your determination in preaching never wavers. You continue to inspire devotees worldwide, standing as a beacon of motivation for all of us.

On this auspicious occasion of Vyāsa-pūjā, we humbly pray to Lord Narasiṁha-deva for your sound health and long life.

Gurudeva,
Please bless us with the strength and sincere desire to follow your instructions and assist you in your divine service. On this auspicious appearance day, please bless us that whatever time remains in our lives may be utilized—directly or indirectly—in the service of Guru, Kṛṣṇa, and the Vaiṣṇavas.
