Dharma bhavana and his wife doing special puja to Lord Krsna

Śrīla Prabhupāda said:
This process is recommended in all the scriptures of the Vedic literature, it was taught by Lord Caitanya and followed by His disciplic succession for the last five hundred years, and people are achieving good results from it today, not only in India but here also. If you try to understand what this Krsna consciousness movement is, you’ll understand how transcendental meditation is possible. We are not sentimentalists; we have many books: Bhāgavad Gītā As It Is, Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, Teachings of Lord Caitanya, Śrī Īśopaniṣad. And we have our magazine, Back to Godhead. It is not that we are sentimentalists. We are backed up by high philosophical thought. But if you take up this simple process–chanting Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare/ Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare–you are immediately elevated to the transcendental platform, even without reading so much philosophical literature. This Hare Krsna mantra is Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s gift to the conditioned souls of the present age, in accordance with the Vedic sanction.
The Journey of Self-Discovery-His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda
Letter to Srila Prabhupada, by Haripada dasa
With love and confidence I share my Vyasa Puja letter to Srila Prabhupada Mahasaya.
All the devotees who serve and love Srila Prabhupada write a letter called the Vyasa Puja letter, Vyasadeva is a literary incarnation of God or Krishna, He wrote all the Vedic literature, The Bhagavad-gita, The Srimad-bhagavatam, The Mahabharata etc, and our spiritual master’s birthday is called Vyasa Puja day, on this day the spiritual master is glorified and thanked for all his mercy, all this spiritual knowledge given to us by Vyasadeva is transmitted from the guru to the disciple through the chain of disciplic succession, all these truths are eternal and never change, that’s why Srila Prabhupada always said that the philosophy of Krishna consciousness is very easy, because we don’t have to invent anything, we just have than to repeat what the previous spiritual masters said.
Thanks to Srila Prabhupada we have found the Truth and the Truth will set you free. Thanks to Srila Prabhupada we have come out of ignorance, which is the cause of all suffering. Thanks to Srila Prabhupada we have understood the purpose of human life, to understand and love God or Krishna, and since there is only God or Krishna and His energies, by doing this in a natural way one loves everyone and everything. Thanks to Srila Prabhupada we have understood that this material world is full of envy and is no place for a gentleman, here there are only cheaters and cheated. Thanks to Srila Prabhupada we hope to go back home to God and Krishna and His devotees, and the experience of having been in this material world will be a bad nightmare. Thanks to Srila Prabhupada we have understood that we are not the material body, but eternal spirit souls, eternal loving servants of God or Krishna and His devotees. Thanks to Srila Prabhupada we are now no longer a rudderless ship, now Srila Prabhupada is the person we trust and love the most. If Srila Prabupada had not come, what would have become of us?
Sri Vyasa-Puja of our beloved Spiritual Master Srila Prabhupada 2022 nama om vishnu-padaya krishna-preshthaya bhu-tale srimate bhaktivedanta-svamin iti namine I offer my respectful obeisances unto His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, who is very dear to Lord Krishna on this earth, having taken shelter at His lotus feet. Continue reading
All glories to Srila Prabhupāda
You have saved me from going to the darkest regions of hell, which I was destined to suffer on account of my extremely sinful activities. You came at the right time to rescue me. Your Divine Grace saved me from the word jugglery of the speculative scholars and delivered me the sublime essence of the Vedic literatures in a very simple and easy-to-understand language. Srila Prabhupada, this is Your USP – You present the highest knowledge effortlessly without any ostentatious show of scholarship. Though Your Divine Grace is the greatest scholar and the greatest devotee, You never claimed to be so and You have very mercifully associated with the fallen souls in order to deliver them. O Srila Prabhupāda, You are humility personified and a true example of “trnad api sunicena.”
I beg from you to bless me with a small fragment of your humility so that I may progress more on the path shown by you.
Your fallen servant,
Niraj

O greatest mercy of Lord Shri Krishna
O every soul’s eternal ever well wisher
O Guru of the universe Srila Prabhupada
please hear the prayer of this begging dog.
O Ac Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada
O most confidential servitor of Krishna God
on your guru’s order you came to the west

I pray by my side you always do stay
for too many lifetimes I have fallen astray
so now all I can do is helplessly pray.
O dearest Srila Prabhupada O dearest to all
please keep forcing open my eyes to Gopal

to pass every test and every kind of trial.
I now bow down before you like a log

to the Lord of The Gopi’s supreme love above.
your eternal aspiring servant
