“IN THE ASSOCIATION OF PURE DEVOTEES, DISCUSSION OF THE PASTIMES AND ACTIVITIES OF THE SUPREME PERSONALITY OF GODHEAD IS VERY PLEASING AND SATISFYING TO THE EAR AND THE HEART. BY CULTIVATING SUCH KNOWLEDGE ONE GRADUALLY BECOMES ADVANCED ON THE PATH OF LIBERATION, AND THEREAFTER HE IS FREED, AND HIS ATTRACTION BECOMES FIXED. THEN REAL DEVOTION AND DEVOTIONAL SERVICE BEGIN.” SRIMAD BHAGAVATAM 3.25.25 SRI VYASA-PUJA SRI Appearance day of our beloved THE MOST BLESSED EVENTTHE HIS HOLINESS KADAMBA KANANA SWAMI HOLINESS HIS

BHAKTIVEDANTA SWAMI PRABHUPĀDA, FOUNDER-ĀCĀRYA OF THE INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR KRISHNA CONSCIOUSNESS BHAGAVAD-GITA 4.34 JUST TRY TO LEARN THE TRUTH BY APPROACHING A SPIRITUAL MASTER. INQUIRE FROM HIM SUBMISSIVELY AND RENDER SERVICE UNTO HIM. THE SELF-REALIZED SOUL CAN IMPART KNOWLEDGE UNTO YOU BECAUSE HE HAS SEEN THE TRUTH The path of spiritual realization is undoubtedly difficult. The Lord therefore advises us to approach a bona fide spiritual master in the line of disciplic succession from the Lord Himself. No one can be a bona fide spiritual master without following this principle of disciplic succession. The Lord is the original spiritual master, and a person in the disciplic succession can convey the message of the Lord as it is to his disciple. No one can be spiritually realized by manufacturing his own process, as is the fashion of the foolish pretenders. The Bhagavatam says: dharmam hi saksad-bhagavat-pranitam—the path of religion is directly enunciated by the Lord. Therefore, mental speculation or dry arguments cannot help one progress in spiritual life. One has to approach a bona fide spir- itual master to receive the knowledge. Such a spiritual master should be accepted in full surrender, and one should serve the spiritual master like a menial servant, without false prestige. Satisfaction of the self- realized spiritual master is the secret of advancement in spiritual life. Inquiries and submission constitute the proper combination for spiri- tual understanding. Unless there is submission and service, inquiries from the learned spiritual master will not be effective. One must be able to pass the test of the spiritual master, and when he sees the genuine desire of the disciple, he automatically blesses the disciple with genu- ine spiritual understanding. In this verse, both blind following and ab- surd inquiries are condemned. One should not only hear submissively from the spiritual master; but one must also get a clear understanding from him, in submission and service and inquiries. A bona fide spiritual master is by nature very kind toward the disciple. Therefore when the student is submissive and is always ready to render service, the recipro- cation of knowledge and inquiries becomes perfect. SIGNIFICANCE OF SRI VYASA-PUJA BY GAURAVANI DASI All glories to Srila Prabhupada All glories to HH Jayadvaita swami All glories to our beloved Kadamba Kanana Swami. I was asked to write meaning and importance of Vyasapuja offering i am apologizing i have never done this, new challenge but with mercy of our spiritual master. mūkaṁ karoti vācālaṁ paṅguṁ laṅghayate girim yat-kṛpā tam ahaṁ vande paramānanda-mādhava 3 “ ‘The Supreme Personality of Godhead has the form of sac-cid-ānanda-vigraha — transcendental bliss, knowledge and eternity. I offer my respectful obeisances unto Him, who turns the dumb into eloquent speakers and enables the lame to cross mountains. Such is the mercy of the Lord.’ ” (CC Madhya 17.80) Expression reflects and reinforce emotion. The celebration of Vyasa-puja is an ex- pression of the gratitude that the disciple feels for the spiritual master. And that feeling becomes reinforced when a disciple expresses
