    Dear Guruji, Nityananda Gauranga Hare Krishna!

    Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to you and all the gurus who are preceding you all the way up to Lord Nityananda, Lord Gauranga and Sri Sri Radha Govinda.

    On this special day of your Vyasa Puja I express my gratitude for your intense service to the tiny particles of Lord Gauranga Krishna. You know that all living entities are in essence servants of Him and your heart’s desire is to awaken the sleeping individuals to this fact. Your life’s purpose is to stir the supreme love that lies within all of us and to give us the eyes to see the beautiful pastimes of the Lord.

    Your super intelligence has given us insight in what is hidden: the mantrarajas. This is the gift of all gifts. I had chanted Hare Krishna for so many years but only after I started chanting the mantrarajas along with the maha mantra everything fell in place and chanting became a pure feast. It is you who guided me from strolling down the street to riding in a rollercoaster. When real life and direct experience kicked in everything got a new meaning.

    You are the father who gave me new birth. As your son I am eternally indebted to you. I say eternally because you are my spiritual father who exists beyond time and space. Your acceptance of me as your eternal disciple is all beyond the comprehension of this material world. Our spiritual connection has existed since time immemorial, so that means wherever you go, I go. Today we find ourselves on planet earth and it is such an auspicious time. Thank you for bringing me here in a time when the mantrarajas are revealed and in a time when the earth is still fresh with the footsteps of Lord Nityananda and Lord Gauranga.

    There is no other place I would rather be right now than here. You brought the spiritual world with you for your disciples and you allow us to play in your garden of grace. Many do not recognize the tremendous supremacy of the offenseless mantrarajas and therefore cannot distinguish the ultimate mission you are on. They take you for granted and see you as one of the many Swamis. It is obvious that the Lord has His own agenda and is handpicking those who can see you for who you are.

    When I see and feel your absorption, when I hear the mantrarajas from your lips, my heart sings. You move the tiny shoes I have in front of your picture and you drink the water that I offer you daily. You take the offering plate with food and offer it to the Lord and you make the glorious remnants available for everybody who wants to honor prasadam. You are the touchstone that turns everything into divine nectar.

    On this special day of your Vyasa Puja I offer my obeisances at your lotus feet and I pray that I may serve you in all of eternity.

    Your servant,

    Hadai Nityananda dasa

    Vyasa Puja 2009 offering to HH Bhaktirathna Sadhu Swami Gaurangapada,

    Dear Guru Maharaj,

    Nityananda! Gauranga! Hare Krishna! All Glories of Shri Guru Parampara!

    On this auspicious day, celebrating your appearance, I especially offer my respectful obeisance’s unto Your Lotus Feet again and again. You who are so busy spreading the Holy Names of Nityananda, Gauranga and Hare Krishna around the world. Who is so kind humble and sweet and always finds the time to speak with and share realizations with so many souls everyday.

    It is the greatest fortune that I have such a great personality as my Spiritual Master and Guide. Without your mercy I would still be struggling in Krishna Consciousness, unaware of the blissful potency and wonders of chanting the sublime names Nityananda and Gauranga, not settled in sadhana and totally devoid of devotion and knowledge. You have lifted me from this tenuous situation and given me the best of instructions, determination, guidance and hope I needed to continue on the path. You filled me with joy by personally telling me stories from the vedas.

    You are an example to everyone, living a simple life of Bhakti while inspiring all towards Krishna and into His loving service. It is wonderful the way you have utilized the internet and modern technology fully in the Lords service to best reach those who would not otherwise benefit from your association, which is so compassionate, like radiant sunshine, warm and golden, bringing a smile, even from afar. You have made very accessible your teachings and the teachings of the previous acharyas through high quality videos, translation and uploading of books and scriptures to read online. You have provided a haven for Krishna katha which is available to all. You patiently and tirelessly answer so many questions, even the most foolish, illuminating our minds and revealing the scriptures.

    Please accept my sincere thanks in the form of this crude Vyasa Puja offering from your spiritual daughter. May this day be a wonderful time of appreciation for all you have done and continue to do. May all the glories of the Lord, Holy Scriptures, Parampara and previous Acharyas be always manifest through you. I hope that as time goes by I may one day become an adequate servant of a servant of the Lord and come to please you more and more.

    Your servant with love,

    Malini Nityananda dasi

    Dear Gurudev, Nityaananda ! Gauraanga ! Hare Krishna ! Repeated Dandavat Pranaams !

    Dearest Gurudev, on such an auspicious occasion of your Vyasa Pooja day please accept my repeated dandavat pranaams. I feel one of the most fortunate souls in the world to be your disciple. If I was not accepted by you then I am sure I would be eternally trapped in this material world. Even after hearing so many of my incapabilities you never got strict with me. You always politely kept encouraging me. Infact when I met you for the first time via internet, just a few days before I had shown an intense desire to Lord Gaura Krishna about meeting a pure devotee like you. After meeting you I was surprised to know that such a magnanimous pure devotee like you still exists on earth. I instantly felt very strongly in my heart that my life would become successful if you would become my Guru. After being impressed with your realized knowledge, out of false ego I thought of testing you. I kept asking you unlimited questions and you so mercifully answered them all. My entire ego got broken down and then I decided I would not test a magnanimous soul like because I felt like an ant in front of you.

    Thank you once again for accepting a fallen soul like me and giving my life a new meaning.

    Your happy eternal servant,
    Mihir.

    From Ishana Thakura dasa by email:

    Dear Gurudeva,
    please accept my most humble obeisancess.
    All glories to you!
    All glories to Nitai and Gaura Naam!

    On this most auspicious day of your birthay I want humbly to thank you for everything you done for me, for your mercy and support, prayers and encouraging, teachings and example that you are giving to me.


    You are pure devotee, true follower of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. You gave us Nitaai and Gaura Naam and perfect example of pure devotion.

    During last year I learned one important point - that all theories and knowledge withouth practice is worth nothing. Also all my words are empty withouth acts, withouth practical service. In previous year I done nothing for you and I am felling very sad. You gave me everything - I did not offer nothing to you.

    O gurudeva,
    Who can understand your glories?

    You gave me Nitaai and Gaura Naam,
    and came here to pick me up,
    to the place where I truly belong.

    But, alas, I am servant of lust,
    attached to my family and wordly duties,
    nothing more then materialistic charlatan.
    Therefore I must consider myself to be real cheater,
    fallen and fully covered with maya.

    On this most auspicious day of your birthday
    fallen Ishana Thakura dasa has nothing to offer to you,

    I am falling before you with hope that someday I will be able to offer anything more then just empty words.

    Thank you Gurudeva for tolerating me and still have hope that someday this rascal may become sincere devotee.

    All glories to you dear Gurudeva, and happy birthday!

    Fool'smi Ishana Thakura dasa

    Dear Guruji,

    Nityananda! Gauranga! Hare Krishna! My humble pranams!

    Words are totally powerless to describe your causeless mercy on fallen sinners like ourselves. I admit my total foolishness in having no realization about this so what power do I have to describe it? Since the day I received your mercy my whole life has changed and the whole spiritual world is eager to take us in because you have accepted us. You have kept me engaged in your service of your most valuable projects and in this I may have fumbled and made so many errors, but yet you always happily accepted whatever I could do and you expressed so much happiness in your words like a father who is so happy to see his little children trying to walk even though they may fumble many times.

    In this way you have not only given, but you have also allowed me and all of us to give you something in return. I have zero power to describe your genius in bringing the mantrarajas Nityaananda and Gauraanga and elevate our chanting of Hare Krishna to a class in itself. Although we have said this again and again, we will continue to say it forever as we know we don't appreciate this achievement enough. In this whole material world, there is never a more sublime process of devotion than chanting Nityananda Gauranga and it is to your credit that you have revealed this to this world and you have given the living entities their biggest spiritual opportunity. Although these teachings had been there all along and were known, yet since the time of Lord Chaitanya's incarnation, these were kept hidden by our acharyas. But no more of that -- those days are now gone. The secret of all secrets is out. It is your greatness that you have recognized the implications of chanting these Holy names and have revealed this to the world, inspite of all opposition you may have faced about which we can only speculate as we have received it freely sitting in our chairs.

    In this Vyasa Puja, I intend to give back whatever little I can give for all that you all have given me. Till now I have simply taken and I have simply thanked you with empty words. But this time I will definitely try to reciprocate your love not just in words, but also in deeds. Let us all use today as an opportunity to remember the infinite debt we owe to our guru and try to repay it as far as possible. So I stop my eulogies here and then think about realizing my position as a soul surrendered at your lotus feet and recognize my responsibilities. I think nothing can please a guru more than to see his disciples sincerely follow the spiritual path and make as much advancement as they can with the best of their ability, so I pray to commit myself to this task.

    The least I can do is to pray that the 3 kings of all mantras : Nityananda, Gauranga and Hare Krishna should reach as many souls in creation as possible and work their magic on them. I am sure that among everything, this desire is dearest to your heart and so we all pray that it should become a reality. Happy appearance day Swamiji! Our love and prayers are always with you.

    Daasadaaso'smi,
    Srinath

    Dear Swami Gaurangapada Gurudeva,
    Nityananda! Gauranga! Hare Krishna! Please accept my most respectful obeisances at Your Lotus Feet.

    The day of Your Vyasa Puja is always an opportunity for me to recollect the beginnings of my devotional life, the time when i came across Yourself on the internet, as well as what important role do You play in my devotional life.

    As is the case of all Your wonderful disciples, who are especially thankful to You for Your unfathomably confindential and potent gift of Nityananda Gauranga Naam, i am not an exception.

    As i am recollecting the time You kindly give me shelter, some five years back, i can remember how unprepared, sinful, conditioned and ignorant i was, yet You still accepted me without any second thought and took me under Your protection as well as the protection of Nityananda Gauranga Naam. As the time passes by and i feel myself like still being on the same point, still struggeling with the same problems, i am realizing more and more that it is only Your causeless mercy and the causeless mercy of Nityananda Gauranga Naam which keeps me on the track, somehow...

    Some time back i wrote an article about how Nityananda Gauranga Naam is accepted and relished by the conditioned as well as liberated. i am happy to see that nowadays there are more and more wonderful, advanced devotees, like Your dear disciples, who keep on relishing the confindential nectar of Nityananda Gauranga Naam, despite of their eligibility for Hari Naam Bhajan. It gives me encouragement and faith. Faith that Nityananda Gauranga Naam is the Ultimate Truth, as it is in the case of Hare Krishna Naam too.

    Lords Shri Shri Nityananda Gauranga and Their Holy Names advented to deliver the most fallen, souls who otherwise would not have other possibility for spiritual advancement. Without any duplicity, i can confirm that with my own experience and example. Considering my continuous ups and downs, incompetence in following the rules and regulations of devotional service and also my offending and sinful nature, somehow i feel proud of being the vivid evidence for the unparalleled, incomprehensible, all-saving compassion and love of Lords Nityananda Gauranga, Their Holy Names and most importingly of Their Purest Servants like Yourself, which is being showed towards such an unqualified soul like myself.

    i know that it is the nature of the Compassionate to always have mercy with the weak and fallen. This is the only hope keeping me alive in devotional life. And i hope that someday i can actually become the proper recipient of the ultimate mercy You are so unrestrictedly willing to give for complete surrender...

    Yours gratefully,
    Matus

    Dear Guruji,

    Nityananda! Gauranga! Hare Krishna! All Glories to you and all Glories to Nitai Gauranga!

    So much i want to write an offering for Your Vyasa-puja. But never can I find words – as usual, when it is needed I turn into a fool, who can not pronounce even a word. It is very difficult to describe how much I am grateful to you for everything what you have done. Even though, I feel myself as a burdan, as a bag with bricks behind your back... You always showered your mercy upon me and encouraged me like a loving father.

    Without you... i probably never ever would develop attachment to Nityananda and Gauranga. When you appeared in my life I was about to leave Krishna Consciousness, and turn back to my „dark past”. I was longing for pure emotions, pure devotion and not even hoping, that someone somebody would answer my questions. Then i met you. And I didn’t even notice, at what moment I did become your disciple. The rest was only formalities. Lord did everything as usually – as He wants. I was thinking, that I will go away from Him, but He didn’t let go. I was thinking, that even if happens so, that I ever will have a Guru, I will choose him by mind... it happened exactly opposite. What I can do is only to humbly stay at your feet and praise the moment i have met you.

    It is not possible to move forward in Krishna Consciousness without a guidance. And the Guide found me to bring away from the miserable material existance. That is you, dear Swamijee. Only Lord knows, how much I am happy, that i have met you once and that you accepted me. By only your sincere wish i have accepted Nityaananda and Gauranga and now I feel more and more taste to their wonderful Names.

    Please, Maharaj, on your Vyasa-Puja... I want to wish that by your causless mercy Nityaananda and Gauranga dance in ecstasy in hearts of many many many people.

    Always forever your servant

    Katyayani Radha dd
