My dear Spiritual Father Śrīla Jayapataka Swami Mahārāja,
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!
All glories to You!
Please accept my most humble obeisances unto the dust of your lotus feet!
Gurudeva, it is indeed great pleasure to see your enthusiasm to serve Śrīla Prabhupāda’s movement. After the stroke, even though your material body doesn’t co-operate like earlier, your ever-increasing determination & desire to spread Lord Caitanya’s message keeps you flying. You live for us and teaching by your own example that one should always remain out of bodily conscious.
By your causeless mercy, my Bhakti-vṛkṣa is slowly progressing. There are 14 members out of which 8-10 are regularly attending the Bhakti-vṛkṣa . Everybody chants and few of them do 16 rounds. 5 members have expressed their serious desire to accept Your Holiness as their eternal spiritual master. Kindly shower your mercy up on them to progress in Kṛṣṇa Consciousness and become perfect soldiers in Śrīla Prabhupāda’s army.
As part of my humble service to Gaurāṅga Deśa Yatra, we conduct outreaches on various occasions and encourage people to chant the Holy Names and attend our congregational programs. Some of them grasped the opportunity and become our regular satsangis.
Gurudeva, my family is still not keen on Kṛṣṇa consciousness. By your mercy, now they do few rounds of Japa and reading Bhagavad Gita & Narayaneyam. Please bless them for advancing in Kṛṣṇa Consciousness.
I also need your special mercy to always remain under the shelter of Your lotus feet, abide your instructions and to become an insignificant servant and serve your mission.
On this most auspicious occasion of your 70th Vyasa Puja Mahotsava, I beg to Their Lordships Śrī Rādhā Mādhava, Śrī Prahlad Nrsimha Deva, Śrī Pancha-Tatwa and our beloved Śrīla Prabhupāda to shower Their choicest blessings on You to continue Your ultimate desire to spread Kṛṣṇa Consciousness throghout the world.
Your spiritual son,
Suvarṇa Gopāla dāsa,
Gaurāṅga Deśa, Middle East
