Vipinavihārī Vrajeśa Dāsa (Bangalore - Sri Jagannath Mandir Seshadripuram - India)

Hare Kṛṣṇa Guru Mahārāja,

Please accept my respectful obeisances at your lotus feet

All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda and your humble self.

Thank you so much for all your services to his Divine grace A.C Bhaktivedantha Swami Śrīla Prabhupāda.

Your an epitome of inspiration and enthusiasm dear Guru Mahārāja, your very presence in terms of vāṇī and vapu keeps us all ecstatic in spiritual life.

I have tried to make an acronym in your name as an offering: -

1) J - Joyful - Always be in any class, whatever be your health condition, your always joyful, I heard how you ask the doctors “How are you”, when generally it’s the other way around- you personify how a Vaiṣṇava is always happy - su-sukhaṁ kartum avyayam

2)A - Always willing and ready to give Kṛṣṇa to whomever you meet - you keep mentioning this in your lectures also how this is so important, that Śrīla Prabhupāda also instructed you to expand Kṛṣṇa consciousness unlimitedly and your perfectly following his instruction as an exemplary disciple.

3)Y - Yes Sir - in SB 3.24.12 it mentions how a disciple always says Yes Sir and obeys the spiritual master, whatever Śrīla Prabhupāda has told you Gurudeva, you have always said yes sir, be it an instruction to distribute thousands of books, or be it offering a rose daily. Its really inspiring to see how you remember all those instructions and see how you can fulfil them.

4) A- Appreciating devotees - Your appreciation for your god brothers, for Śrīla Prabhupāda, for Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s pastimes, for all Vaiṣṇavas, for everyone is just mind blowing, you always see how you can elevate the other persons consciousness and bring him close to Kṛṣṇa in your dealings which is sensational.

5) P - Prayerful - Daily we see the message and we have practically also see - how you never miss a day where you haven’t offered your prayers and respect to the deities, be it in Māyāpur or online other temples or the local temple where you have visited for darśana.

6) A – Ācāryopāsanā - your perfectly follow our Founder ācārya our dear grandfather and show by your example, how we should attentively chant the holy names, how we should preach to suffering souls

7) T - Tolerant - Gurudeva your tolerance is unlimited, although you are an eternal associate of Caitanya Mahāprabhu, just for serving Śrīla Prabhupāda, fulfilling his instructions you are going on and on enthusiastically spreading Gaurāṅga’s mercy to all. We heard you your neck as cut, you got several transplants, strokes, now also its so difficult for you to travel, we know we have seen videos, what pain your body goes through but all that pain you take just to give all of us Kṛṣṇa consciousness

8)A - Always in a Mood of Servant of Servant - as you mention in your lecture you personify this- recently you wrote a message to His Holiness Kadam Kanan Swami Mahārāja - asking for how you can serve him - its sensational that every moment you are just thinking how you can serve Hari Guru and Vaiṣṇavas. Your monthly messages, everyday notifications, your fantastic enthusiastic lectures just inspire 1000s around the planet.

9)K -Kind hearted -> You always see how you can accommodate anyone under the umbrella of shelter of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, by your compassion you give Kṛṣṇa to others which is the best gift one can ever give.

10) A - Attentive to fulfil instructions of Śrīla Prabhupāda -> I heard how one day night you called Mahāvarāha pr and told about 50+ instructions what Śrīla Prabhupāda had told, building TOVP, etc so your always attentive in fulfilling instructions of Śrīla Prabhupāda and spreading the good reputation of our movement.

Am very deeply grateful from the bottom of my heart, I just cannot repay my debt to you, but I am begging at your lotus feet for your mercy, to assist you to fulfil instructions of Śrīla Prabhupāda, this Vyāsa Pūjā, I am offering myself to you, I am going to join as a brahmacārī to serve you 24hrsx7days a week with all my energy, please accept me and use me as you like for the mission of Śrīla Prabhupāda and Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu.

Your insignificant Servant of servant
