> >Haribol! > >All glories to Srila Prabhupada. > >As you might have read in

our last newsletter, IRM is publishing a Vyasa Puja book for the pleasure of

Srila Prabhupada for Vyasa Puja this year. This is to kindly remind you to send

in your Vyasa Puja offering before August 1, 2002 to enable us to include it in

the book (please ignore this if you have already sent in your offering). > >As

Srila Prabhupada says: > >...guru is representative of Vyäsadeva. On his

birthday the ceremony is offered as Vyäsa-püjä. This is the disciplic

succession. (SB LECTURE) > >Guru-åëa. Debtor to the spiritual master, to the

sages, to the saintly persons, because we are getting knowledge from them.

Therefore the Vyäsa-püjä is there. Once in a year the disciples are worshiping

the spiritual master and trying to repay what he has received from the

spiritual master. (SB LECTURE) > >Prabhupäda: All this eulogization about me,

people, outsider, may think that "This man is being flattered and he is hearing

his own eulogization." But that is not the fact. It is the test, how they are

receiving the message sincerely and they (are) expressing their feeling. So it

is going to the Supreme Personality of Godhead. As it has come through the

channel of disciplic succession, all these praises will also reach to Kåñëa

through that disciplic succession. So it is not personal thing. These things

are required. Just like in the military training, they are taught by the

officers in a different way, in so many ways. Similarly, this is also training

of Kåñëa consciousness so that the feeling of pure consciousness will reach to

Kåñëa. (Vyasa Puja Lecture conclusion, 1969)" > >Hence it is imperative that we

write our homages to Srila Prabhupada on his Vyasa Puja day. > >Do not delay.

>Mail your Vyasa Puja offering for Srila Prabhupada today. > >Thanking you, >
