Vyāsa-pūjā 2025

Prema-līlā Padmā Devī Dāsī (Sydney - Australia)

Hare Krishna dearest GuruDev,

Please accept my respectful obeisances.

All glories to You!

All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!

Wish You an auspicious Vyasapuja celebration!! It is always a pleasure to celebrate your appearance day.

 

GuruDev, My daughter Sharanya and I are really fortunate to have You in our life. We can see how you are guiding us on a day to day basis through your lectures, instructions via telegram posts and Your app. Even if we falter, I observe that Your next day lectures and posts have instructions for me to reconsider and improve myself.

You are the ocean of mercy who is extinguishing the fire of our material desires and thus the whole material existence. With every passing year, my interest in this material world is going down and every moment, it makes me realise that You are the only true person whom I should be serving. Everything else is dukhalayam and asasvatam. I know heart to heart that it is You who is giving me this realisation through your causeless mercy.

Hearing Your lectures and Your chant always gives peace and happiness to my restless and uncontrollable mind and brings me back to Radha Krishna and Gouranga MahaPrabhu's pastimes. Life had no direction before You came into our lives. You are giving the true meaning to our existence in this material world. Despite Your fluctuating health, You relentlessly try to give Krishna to fallen souls like me. It is Your causeless mercy that You have accepted fallen souls like me as Your disciple and continue to guide me tirelessly. This year in Jan, You have also accepted my daughter as your aspiring disciple. We are extremely fortunate and eternally indebted to You for accepting us and directing us towards Krishna. We pray to Radha Gopinath that we both chant our rounds sincerely and do all our Sadhana regularly to please you. 

 

You have said numerous times in Your lectures that grahasthas should have acharya children. I would like meditate upon those instructions and help bring my children and family to Your Lotus feet and Srila Prabhupad's Lotus feet. 

 

Under the guidance of Anandamaya Gopinath Das Prabhu, Sriguru Bhakti Devi Dasi mj, Sankirtan Narottam Das Prabhu and Abhinandini MJ, I try to preach Mahaprabhu and Srila Prabhupad's teachings to children. I seek Your blessings to serve You better and also help spread Krishna consciousness under our mentor's guidance more in Sydney.

 

I pray to Narsimhadev that your health is restored. I also pray to Radha Gopinath, Jagannath & Mahaprabhu that my family and I dedicate our life to your service. My daughter and I beg You to always guide us into the path of pure Bhakti.

 

Your daughters and Your eternal servants,

Premlila Padma Devi Dasi
