This year, the Most Blessed Event "Sri Vyasa Puja " of our dear Guru Maharaj falls on 22nd April 2013. Yesterday was the last day for sending the offering and as usual did it at the last minute.. Though have changed profession but habit still lingers.. :)
My dear spiritual father Srila Jayapataka Swami
GuruMaharaj,
nama om
vishnu-padaya krishna-presthaya bhutale
srimate jayapataka-swamin iti naminenama acaryapadaya nitai-kripa pradayinegaura-katha dhama-daya nagara-grama tarine
Please accept my
respectful obeisances at your lotus feet
on the most auspicious day of your divine appearance
All glories to you,
Srila Acharyapad
The time of year has
come when have to write a vyasa puja offering.
The words and sentences just stop.
How difficult it becomes to put the thoughts into words?‘Caksu-dan dilo jei,
janme janme prabhu sei’, You are my master, birth after birth still am unable
to glorify you . Each and every moment
of your life, you teach us by example. You never lose a single moment to
glorify your spiritual master A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami. Anytime anyone credits you with the wonderful
service you are doing, you attribute it to Srila Prabhupadas mercy. As
Jayadvaita Swami says , it is purely due to weakness of heart that one is not
able to glorify their spiritual master.
Please shower your mercy on me so that I can overcome my weakness of
heart and daily try to glorify you and develop my gratitude towards you. Please
bless me so that I can glorify all your disciples who are helping you out in
your mission to please Srila Prabhupada
So many wonderful
memoirs I have of the days I spent with you in Los Angeles. Those days I had so
much wonderful opportunity to ask you so much relevant questions, but I missed
to do that. So many times you gave so many wonderful instructions to your
disciples, shared Prabhupada katha with your god brothers etc but due to my
immaturity I did not note it down. As day’s progresses, I am tending to forget
them. My Godbrothers, God sisters suggested me to record it but I forgot to do
that. I donot have such strong memory as you have of each and every incident of
yours with Srila Prabhupada. Please bestow your mercy on me so that I can also
spread your glories around. “Gurudev Ghusuk Tribhuvana’. I cannot estimate your
glories but please make me an instrument in spreading your and the paramparas
glories to whatever extent I am capable.
The past year has
been a year of ups and downs, more downs than ups. The only solace has been
your and your disciples love and care towards this insignificant entity in
times of need. In spite of your hectic schedule whenever we met, the kind of fatherly
concern that you showed whenever we met and constantly giving your inputs even
for my material life is what is keeping me going. Begging for your mercy that I can imbibe even a drop
of this quality of yours so that I can genuinely show some concern for my
godbrothers , godsisters and other acquaintances.
I am not a talented
writer. All I would like to put down at your lotus feet is that You are the source
of my inspiration in every facet of life. Please shower your glance so that
every moment of my life I can move ahead with the thought “ How would Srila
Gurudev react/behave to this situation ‘and that be my guiding light.
Your insignificant
servant,
Anadi jagannath das,
