Vyāsa-pūjā 2024

Jayarāseśvarī devī Dāsī (Brampton - Canada)

Dearest Guru Mahārāja!

Please accept our respectful obeisances at your lotus feet! All Glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda! All Glories to Your Divine self!

This is really a glorious day indeed! Your 75th Vyāsa-pūjā celebration!! But we are all in a kind of state of flux, not knowing where the grand celebration is going to be and who are the fortunate souls who will be there to witness that in person!

We have seen many ups and downs in your health situation this last year but your enthusiasm to serve and fulfill our dear Śrīla Prabhupāda’s instructions is only reaching new heights! You said that you are feeling so indebted to Śrīla Prabhupāda and that you are trying to pay back that debt! Guru Mahārāja, I pray that with your mercy I also have even a miniscule of that enthusiasm to serve you in this lifetime. I am very thankful to you to have given me this service of transcribing your classes and I also feel I am so indebted to you for this service and don’t know what good karma I must have performed to have got about to be accepted by you as a spiritual daughter!

My husband, Bhakti Vijay is chanting 2 or 3 rounds most of the days, but not very regular when he is travelling. We relocated to Canada, in Mississauga in January this year as Vijay quit his regular job and is only doing private consultancy in the automobile sector now. Our daughter Madhavi Gopī and her husband Aman are in Brampton, Canada too and she is trying to keep her sādhana steady. But really doesn’t know when she will take initiation from you! Aman chants a few rounds some day Guru Mahārāja and that is a big improvement as previously he was only chanting 3 Hare Kṛṣṇa Mahā Mantras a day! It is all your mercy and prayers dear Guru Mahārāja! With your prayers, they are trying to have a Kṛṣṇa conscious, healthy suputra or suputrī.

We continuously chant extra rounds and Tulasī parikramās and Narasiṁhadeva prayers for your well-being that you are able to go around spreading the mercy of Lord Caitanya to many, many fallen souls! We beg you to please continue to pray for us that we stay fixed in Kṛṣṇa consciousness and that we always remember Kṛṣṇa and never forget Kṛṣṇa.

Your spiritual children,
