vyasapuja homage
Nama om visnupadaya / Krsna prestaya bhutale
Srimate Hanumat Presak Swami iti namine
Nama om visnupaday / krsna prestaya bhutale
Srimate Bhaktivedanta Swami iti namine.
Hare Krishna Gurumaharaj. Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
Our experience of this material world is framed by the current of forms, qualities on a degrading flow; but, By Guru’s and Krishna’s mercy, we also have the experience of a glimpse of the spiritual world which is framed by the current of ever-increasing and upgrading flow of all kinds of manifestations. For instance, today is the most auspicious day, among the more auspicious of the auspicious days and one among the most auspicious days to come. It is your Sri Vyasapuja Day dear Gurumaharaj. It is an opportunity for us to express our gratitude and humble appreciation for your ever-increasing greatness. But, as always, to glorify you, to thank you in a suitable manner; this attempt falls short making evident my inability to do it, but this mere attempt to do so is another way to show the power of your greatness that it capable to bring out the best from an unsuitable person.
. As Lord Shiva says
Dhyana Moolam Guru Murti / Puja Moolam Gurur Padam,
Mantra Moolam Gurur Vakyam,/ Moksha Moolam Guru Kripa
The Guru's form is the best to meditate upon; the Guru's feet are the best for worship: the Guru's word is the mantra; the Guru's Grace is the root of liberation (Guru-Gita Skanda Purana)
On this day, I bow down to you again and again meditating on your divine lotus feet. Yes, your” lotus feet”. It means your lotus feet, your instructions, your guidance, your example of the highest level of purity in mind, words, and actions.
Meditating on your lotus feet means meditating on your sacred dedication and surrender to your spiritual master our beloved Srila Prabhupada; meditating on your high-quality devotional service; which is based on your unstoppable determination and highest expression of your pure love. Which are displayed on the high-quality of your sadhana, your Chanting of the Holy Names on Japa, kirtan, your worship, your Krishna-Katha, your preaching, your loving care, and exchanges with devotees. So on..
Meditating on your unlimited exalted qualities, some of which are the symptoms of a sadhu described on SB. 3.25.21.
titiksavah karunikah / Suhrdah sarva-dehinam
ajata-satravah santah/ sadhavah sadhu-bhusanah
The symptoms of a sadhu are that he is tolerant, merciful, and friendly to all living entities. He has no enemies. He is peaceful, he abides by the scriptures, and all his characteristics are sublime.
This meditation on your divine lotus feet is a glimpse of the spiritual world that we experience. You have become the power source of our ever-increasing spiritual experience, giving us direction, the meaning of life, and the spiritual strength to reach the goal of life “Krishna Prema”. Despite my inability to remain always connected to you (my spiritual power source) and thus, experiencing uncountable fall-downs; by just a little attempt to turn toward you and reconnect with you, the opportunity to regain my lost spiritual strength and raise my consciousness level is manifest due to the power of your magnetic spiritual strength. In this way like everybody connected to you, I experience again and again your compassionate pure love.
Your compassion is an expression of your pure love, which is not a mere emotion or sentiment, it is expressed in a wide range of forms. Which goes from the humble and simple mood to the highly complex, refine, and exquisite visionary preaching programs; your kind compassion is expressed on your innovative, creative, and ingenious ways to instill in us the vision and taste for the Holy Names, HARE KRISHNA HARE KRISHNA KRISHNA KRISHNA HARE HARE HARE RAMA HARE RAMA RAMA RAMA HARE HARE.
Your compassion inspires and teaches us the ideal mood of how to approach the Holy Scriptures, awakening on us the appreciation and relationship with the sastras-Krishna. Just listening to you, your lectures, your reading is an open window and invitation to enter into Krishna’s pastimes; you create that passage – channel, giving Krishna to us; you are enhancing our experience and understanding of Srila Prabhupada and Guru param. This proves your exalted position; since you are in tune with the spiritual realm you can convey Krsna’s and Srila Prabhupada’s compassionate pure love to everybody.
Your compassionate love is creating a favorable environment for each one of us to practice Krsna Consciousness from wherever level we are; you foster any little ability or a tiny spark of goodness that we may have and make it grow and become our unique asset in our spiritual life; thus, you are giving us eyes to see and tools to walk forward on the path of pure devotional service to Krsna.
These are some of the many more gifts that you are giving constantly to all of us.
Thank you Guruharaj.
I bow down to you and humbly pray for your blessing and mercy so that I can always remain at your divine lotus feet and transform my stonelike heart and dull intelligence into a purified, useful instrument on your hands in the service of Srila Prabhupada and devotees and thus, to please you, and only in that way making my existence fruitful and meaningful.
Your insignificant servant
