Vyāsa-Pūjā homages from the G.B.C.

Vyasa-Puja homages from the G.B.C.

It is stated in the Padma Purana that of all types of worship, the worship of the Supreme Person is the highest, but higher still is the worship of the Lord's devotees.

Krsna so favors His pure, unalloyed devotee that He is more pleased to see honor and respect shown His devotee than to receive such glorification Himself, just as the father is more appreciative of a compliment to his favorite son than to himself.

This Vyasa-Puja is such an offering of worship to the lotus feet of a pure devotee of Krsna, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, on the most auspicious anniversary of his appearance in this world.

In order to offer our meager thanks for the inconceivable and unlimited mercy bestowed upon us by our eternal spiritual father, all of Srila Prabhupada's disciples have compiled these offerings of glorification to His Divine Grace. It is understood that no amount of praise would be sufficient to properly honor such a pure devotee of Krsna, but the following humble attempt has been made and is now offered for his satisfaction. We offer our unworthy obeisances at the lotus feet of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada and pray that he will remain with us many, many more years, because we are so weak and insignificant and are maintained by his mercy alone.
