Vyāsa-pūjā 2025

Bhakti Pracāra Parivrājaka Swami (Mayapur - India)

Respected Guru Mahārāja,

Please accept my respectful obeisances. All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda. All glories to Your Divine Grace.

On this most auspicious occasion of your Vyāsa Pūjā, I offer my heartfelt gratitude at your lotus feet. You are a shining example of unwavering dedication to our paramparā, living only to please the previous Ācāryas and fulfill Śrīla Prabhupāda’s instructions.

Your entire life is a mission of service. Every breath you take, every step you move forward, is to execute the orders given by Śrīla Prabhupāda. Some of those instructions have been completed, some are ongoing, and some seem impossible—like Śrīla Prabhupāda’s command to "preach unlimitedly." Yet, you never give up. Preaching has no limit, but you continue striving tirelessly to expand Kṛṣṇa consciousness everywhere.

Your dedication to the development of Māyāpur Dhāma is unparalleled. From the very beginning, you have worked relentlessly to manifest the vision of Śrīla Prabhupāda for the world headquarters of ISKCON. Despite facing health challenges, obstacles, and difficulties, you have never deviated from this service. Your commitment to the TOVP and the grand expansion of Māyāpur proves that your service is not bound by time or circumstance—it is eternal and ever-increasing.

But your vision is not just for today—it is for generations to come. You are deeply concerned about the future of ISKCON, knowing that one day, Śrīla Prabhupāda’s direct disciples will leave this world. You have always urged the second generation of devotees to take responsibility, ensuring that Śrīla Prabhupāda’s legacy continues. Your foresight and planning show that you are not just a leader of today, but a visionary for the future of ISKCON.

Guru Mahārāja, your humility is extraordinary. Though you have achieved so much, you never take credit for anything—always glorifying Śrīla Prabhupāda. You are pure, compassionate, and tirelessly concerned about devotees' well-being. You want every conditioned soul to receive Mahāprabhu’s mercy and take shelter of Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

Your unwavering service despite severe health challenges shows that you are beyond bodily consciousness. Even when others would rest, you continue preaching, guiding, and inspiring devotees worldwide. This makes you a living example, a beacon of inspiration for all of us. Your life teaches us what it truly means to surrender to Guru and Kṛṣṇa.

On this sacred day, I pray to always keep me under your shelter and that I may be of some use in your great mission. I beg for your forgiveness for any offenses I may have committed knowingly or unknowingly at your lotus feet.

Thank you, Guru Mahārāja, for everything. I remain eternally indebted to you.

Your eternal servant,
Bhakti Pracāra Parivrājakā Swāmī
