All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Please accept our dandabat pranams,

Yesterday at 2 pm, H.H. Bhakti Anandamai Haridasa Guru Maharaja and Banamali Prabhu, Sadhubhusan Dasa and Brojendro Prabhu came at Thoubal and discussed the modalities, program and finalised everything for your Vyasapuja.

Around 50 we are arranging Prasadam. Programme will start from 8.30 a.m. and Prasadam at 1.00 p.m.

Please suggest any item to be added.

Yours fallen sarvent,

Yamunesvara Das.

HpS - Thank you for the news! AGTSP. So nice to hear of the devotees in Manipura. First, we are only supporting a HpS Vyasa Puja if it is viewed as our effort to glorify, illuminate the entire parampara: Krsna, Vyasa, Lord Caitanya, Narottama Das, Srila Prabhupada, Us, You et al.

What is our place?

We offer our obeisances to everyone.

Sing the Bhajan by Bh. Siddhanta Sarasvati, no? http://kksongs.org/songs/k/krsnahoitecatur.html

Here is our Vyasapuja Offering to Srila Prabhupada this year.

"We offer our humble obeisances to His Divine Grace Srila A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, author of the book, KRSNA: The Supreme Personality of Godhead, and Founder Acharya of the International Society for Krsna Consciousness.

Srila Prabhupada, we suspect that our attempts to illuminate your glories on your Vyasapuja day are like a candle trying to illuminate the sun. The flame just becomes invisible. On the other hand if we are allowed to consider the task like a fire-fly trying to illuminate some of the features of your lotus feet then we might be able to make a small contribution to today's activities.

When your divine grace was in Berkeley. California in 1975 we heard from your lips that anyone who chants the Pancha-tattva Maha-mantra and follows it with the Hare Krsna Maha-mantra has achieved the perfection of life, but if they wanted to preach they should probably read your books.

Then, when asked by a reporter what would happen to your movement when your divine grace died, you answered firmly that you would never die, you would live forever in your books.

These two statements are our life and soul.

Thank you.

We try to always be chanting Maha-mantra internally and externally under the shelter of your divine grace's lotus feet and over and above that read and preach from your books.

Now we read Caitanya-caritamrta daily before Mangala-arati, and it is 90% a novel experience for us. We understand it with so much more depth than before. We see that your divine grace's book is deep beyond our abilities to plumb.

Then after Mangala-arati we read and discuss a little with the devotees in Spanish. Before we were doing Nectar of Devotion, but now we are read a verse a day from the Light of the Bhagavata. We find the purports as direct truth, illumination, on such topics at Veganism, administration in ISKCON etc.

We keep a daily Srimad Bhagavatam class. Sometimes it is with an online group, sometimes local temples. We are integrating our study with the development of questions for the Bhakti-vaibhava diploma with your ISKCON Board of Examinations.

We cite your books from Vedabase.io and the concepts we have learned therein in our humble attempts to preach in the university, Jungian, world classical literature and interfaith communities.

They are the guide for devotees advancing from adau sraddha, sadhu sanga... to prema.

Thank you Srila Prabhupada. We feel we have always been a heavy load that you have had to drag forward in our purification, but we are experiencing practical advancement.

We hope that we can be a little, pleasing, grain of sand under your lotus feet, in the sandy path that is your ISKCON, helping your Sankirtan expand and expand and expand.

Thank you.

Your very fallen servant, Hanumatpresaka Swami

11 March 2020."

At you service.
