Çré Vyäsa-püjä 2012 chanting of the holy name—Hare Kåñëa, Hare Kåñëa, Kåñëa Kåñëa, Hare Hare/ Hare Räma, Hare Räma, Räma Räma, Hare Hare. saj-jana, durjana, paìgu, jaòa, andha-gaëa prema-vanyäya òubäila jagatera jana “The Kåñëa consciousness movement will inundate the entire world and drown everyone, whether one be a gentleman, a rogue, or even lame, invalid, or blind.” (Caitanya-caritämåta, Ädi 7.26) Çréla Prabhupäda, we are so grateful for all the compassion that prevails in your heart. Perfect knowledge is transmitted without adding any personally motivated interpretation, as it has come from the divine lips of the Lord Himself through the paramparä system and through your books. These books are another manifestation of your immense mercy, a manifestation that will bring about a transformation of countless hearts in future generations of devotees, for the next ten thousand years. The success of this movement rests on the foundation of our ardent desire to please you. This Kåñëa consciousness movement is gradually changing the lives of all souls in the creation by dint of the purity of your representatives. By the divine knowledge of Kåñëa consciousness we can understand God and reach His eternal abode, where fear, lamentation, and death are conspicuous by their absence (açoka abhaya amåta ädhära—Çréla Bhaktivinod Öhäkura). Here at Çré Çré Rädhä-Räseçvara Ashrama, one of the spiritual hospitals of your ISKCON society, you have given us everything to perfect our lives and achieve the ultimate gain—pure love for God, Kåñëa. Our yäträ consists of a self-sufficient organic farm, a goçälä with two beautiful pregnant cows, and a congregation of more than five hundred, mostly initiated devotees. We are now focusing on engaging householders, both husbands and wives, in rendering regular service to the Deities at the temple. In this way they will be trained up as brähmaëas and Vaiñëavas and thus allow the few full-time devotees here to go out and distribute Kåñëa consciousness on a regular basis. I am more insignificant than a blade of grass in the street, the lowest of the low, and very foolish. Today, on this most auspicious day of your appearance, I am begging you to excuse us for whatever big and small mistakes we have committed in the course of discharging service to your great mission. Please do not let any of us become disappointed and pessimistic to the point of leaving your wonderful society. We are begging for your mercy and guidance that might come through your GBC representatives or other serious devotees from any part of the world. There is no difference between hearing directly from the Supreme Lord and hearing from a personality like you or your true representatives. Please protect us from Mäyä’s workings, by which she tries to bewilder us through deviant philosophies and dangerous gossip. In the spirit of brotherhood that prevails among all the disciples of different gurus in all the ISKCON temples on this small island of Bali, we want to cooperate in harmony to develop and spread the unlimited flow of your mercy in the form of a taste for the holy name of the Lord. Säkñäd dharitvena—Bhagavän and bhakta-bhägavata are nondifferent. With a straw in my mouth I offer this prayer/song of Çréla Bhaktivinoda Öhäkura at your divine lotus feet, O Çréla Prabhupäda, savior of the most fallen: kabe çré-caitanya more koribena doyä kabe ämi paibo vaiñëava-pada-chäyä When will Çré Caitanya Mahaprabhu show His causeless mercy to me by allowing me to attain the shade of the lotus feet of all the Vaiñëavas? kabe ämi chäòibo e viñayäbhimän kabe viñëu-jane ämi koribo sammän When will I be able to give up this false ego, which is so deeply engrossed in sense gratification? And when will I be able to properly honor the associates of the Lord? 152 3_ISKCON Centers_06June2012.indd 152 6/6/12 10:40 AM
