My dear spiritual father His Holiness Jayapataka Swami Guru Mahārāja,
I offer my respectful obeisances unto your lotus feet on the auspicious occasion of your 72nd Vyasa-puja celebration. All glories to your lotus feet!
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
Guru Maharaja, to propagate the holy name of god, Krishna sent Prabhupada to this world to save mlechhas and yavanas and give them an opportunity to go back home, back to godhead. In order to assist Srila Prabhupada in this mission, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu also sent you. You shared your experience of meeting Srila Prabhupada for the first time and the experience of chanting the Hare Krishna Mahamantra. It was very inspiring. You took sanyaas at the age of 21. All your life you spent assisting Srila Prabhupada instructions.
In this world where I am drowing the ocean of nescience thank you for coming and saving me through your daily classes and instructions. I wish to take initiation from your Guru Maharaja
On this auspicious day seeking for your blessings Gurudev so that I can also an instrument in this glorious mission of Srila Prabhupada.
Yours eternally
Mohan Kumar, Sri Nrsimha Giridhari Temple Bangalore
