The Day I Took My Present Body
My dear , seventy-four years ago today (according to the Vedic calendar) I took birth in my present body in St. Louis, Missouri USA. On this day my disciples have the duty of worshipping me as good as God. It's not that the spiritual master is God. Rather he is worshipped as good as God because he is God's representative.
In this regard Srila Prabhupada has written as follows:
"In the Bhagavad-gītā (18.66) Kṛṣṇa instructs: ...'Abandon all varieties of religion and just surrender unto Me. I shall deliver you from all sinful reaction. Do not fear.' Someone may argue, 'Where is Kṛṣṇa? I shall surrender to Him.' But no, the process is that we first surrender to Kṛṣṇa's representative; then we surrender to Kṛṣṇa. Therefore it is said, sākṣād-dharitvena samasta-śāstraiḥ: the guru is as good as God. When we offer respects to the
guru, we are offering respects to God. Because we are trying to be God conscious, it is required that we learn how to offer respects to God through God's representative. In all the śāstras the guru is described to be as good as God, but the guru never says, "I am God." The disciple's duty is to offer respect to the guru just as he offers respect to God, but the guru never thinks, 'My disciples are offering me the same respect they offer to God; therefore I have become God.' As soon as he
thinks like this, he becomes a dog instead of God. Therefore Viśvanātha Cakravartī says, kintu prabhor yaḥ priya eva tasya. Because he is the most confidential servitor of God, the guru is offered the same respect that we offer God. God is always God, guru is always guru. As a matter of etiquette, God is the worshipable God, and guru is the worshiper God (sevaka-bhagavān)."
Therefore on this day when I took my birth in my present body my disciples fast until noon and then worship me in a ceremony known as Vyasa-puja, which means worshipping Srila Vyasadeva, the literary incarnation of God by worshipping his representative.

Likitha Janardhan
Answer: Here's How
From: ISKCON Austin, Texas USA
My Dear Likitha,
Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
Here is how to pray for the deliverance of all beings:
svasty astu viśvasya khalaḥ prasīdatāṁ
dhyāyantu bhūtāni śivaṁ mitho dhiyā
manaś ca bhadraṁ bhajatād adhokṣaje
āveśyatāṁ no matir apy ahaitukī
TRANSLATION
"May there be good fortune throughout the universe, and may all envious persons be pacified. May all living entities become calm by practicing bhakti-yoga, for by accepting devotional service they will think of each
other's welfare. Therefore let us all engage in the service of the supreme transcendence, Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa, and always remain absorbed in thought of Him." (Srimad Bhagavatam, Fifth Canto, Chapter 18, Text 9)
Memorize this verse and recite it often.
I hope this meets you in the best of health.
Your ever well-wisher,
Sankarshan Das Adhikari
