Vyasa Puja Celebration

Because the spiritual master is a bona fide representative of Srila Vyasadeva, the literary incarnation of God who compiled the Vedic wisdom, when we worship the spiritual master our worship goes automatically to Srila Vyasadeva. Therefore we celebrate the appearance day of the spiritual master as Vyasa Puja. By worshipping the spiritual master on this most sacred of days we give the greatest pleasure to the Supreme Lord because He states that the person who is His devotee is not His devotee, that His real devotee is the devotee of His devotee. So this sacred act of worshipping the spiritual master enables us to become genuine devotees of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Sri Krishna, by solidly connecting us with Him through the medium of the spiritual master, the bona fide representative of Srila Vyasadeva.

Answers According to the Vedic Version:

Question: Who is Krishna?

Is Lord Krishna a spiritual figure or physical figure or a representation of vast cosmic energy or a symbol our ancestors created of someone or something which created us and whole universe because of which we should be eternally grateful and serve him every moment?

I remain your humble student,

Sudhir

Answer: The Original Person

Krishna is not a symbol or a representation of something else. He is Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the Original Person, from whom everything and everyone derives existence. He was not created by the fertile imagination of our ancestors. It's the other way around. He is our creator and the creator of our ancestors also. Therefore we must be forever grateful to Him and serve Him at every minute.
