Remembering Srila Bhaktisidhanta Sarasvati

Recently in Mayapur we were blessed with the opportunity to visit the samadhi of Srila Prabhupada's spiritual master, His Divine Grace Om Vishnupada Paramahamsa Parivrajakacarya Bhaktisiddhna Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja Prabhupada. This reminded me of the beautiful Vyas Puja homage that our Srila Prabhupada wrote for him which is as follows:

Adore ye all,
The happy day.
Blessed than Heaven,
Sweeter than May.
When He appeared at Puri,
The holy place,
My Lord and Master
His Divine Grace.

Oh! my Master
The evangelic angel.
Give us thy light,
Lift up thy candle.
Struggle for existence
A Human race,
The only hope
His Divine Grace.

Misled we are
All going astray,
Save us Lord
Our fervent pray,
Wonder thy ways
To turn our face
Adore thy feet
Your Divine Grace.

Forgotten Krishna
We fallen souls.
Paying most heavy
The illusion's toll.
Darkness around
All untrace,
The only hope
His Divine Grace.

Absolute is sentient
Thou hast proved.
Impersonal calamity
Thou hast moved.
This gives us a life
Anew and fresh.
Worship thy feet
Your Divine Grace.

Had you not come
Who had told,
The message of Krishna
Forceful and bold,
That's your right
You have the mace.
Save me a fallen
Your Divine Grace.

The line of service
As drawn by you,
Is pleasing and healthy
Like morning dew.
The oldest of all
But in new dress
Miracle done
Your Divine Grace.

I put this Srila Prabhupada's beautiful offering of love to music, which I sing with the accompaniment of my playing a 12 string guitar. You can hear it by clicking on this link: Srila Prabhupada's Vyas Puja Homage to Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati

P.S. Times have really changed. When I first came to Mayapur around 1980 there was big festival celebrating Lord Caitanya's appearance. We were all Srila Prabhupada's disciples coming together from ISKCON centers all of the world. Now here in Mayapur there are thousands of devotees and pilgrims. So far as I experienced in the many days I spent there, there was only two disciples of Srila Prabhupada present: me and His Holiness Candramauli Swami.

Answers According to the Vedic Wisdom

Question: Can You Teach Me?

Hare Krishna

I am very much interested in learning more about the self actualization according to ISKCON. I am from Tamil Nadu, India. I am a top 2 percent scientist in the world. It is humbly requested that you can please make me to learn more about self actualization.

Thank you
Hare Krishna

Answer: Why Only the Top 2 Percent?

My Dear Dr. Ramaswamy,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Why only the top 2 percent? If you become my student, I will teach how to become the world's greatest scientist, the scientist who can prove the existence of God on the basis of science.

Hoping this meets you well.

Your ever well-wisher,
