ATTENTION Dear Devotees ,

TOMORROW is the Vyasa Puja of
His Divine Grace Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur Goswami Prabhupada. Srila A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada would have Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur’s picture on the Vyasasana every year on the Vyasa Puja. Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Prabhupada Thakur appeared in Jagannatha Puri. Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur established many foundational principals for the Gaudiya Vaisnavas like giving brahmana initiation to practicing vaisnavas who were not brahmanas by birth. If this were not done, how would we worship the deities around the world? Similarly, he stressed the importance of printing and distributing transcendental literature which His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada took up. Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur sent A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada to the West to spread Krsna Consciousness which he said would benefit Srila Prabhupada and all those who helped him. Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur led the Navadvipa Mandala Parikrama which Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada expanded. This is only a miniscule fraction of the many revolutionary achievements of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur. We should prepare mentally and spiritually for the great appearance of Om Visnupada Paramahamsa 108 Sri Srimad Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur Goswami Prabhupada.

Your well wisher always,
Jayapataka Swami
