My dear Guru Maharaja, please accept my most humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
All glories to this most auspicious day of the appearance of my beloved Siksa Guru, Jayapataka Swami!
Just as the lame person tries to run, I will try to glorify Guru Maharaja.
O dear Guru Maharaja, because of your mercy we are connected to Brahma-Madhva-Gaudiya Vaisnava sampradaya. It starts from Sri Krsna, goes through Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and comes to us, your disciples. In this way we are connected to the mercy and bhakti that are being handed over through it!
It is an important parampara tradition to follow in the footsteps of the previous acaryas and essencially to distribute the teaching of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. My service in the past few years has been to distribute this teaching in the form of books. I would not say it is very successful, because the people being possessed of strong desire to enjoy the material nature don't have much interest for self-realization! But because of your mercy it sometimes happens that this knowledge penetrates the illusion and reaches them, reaches their hearts! And in this way this contributes for the fulfillment of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's prediction that "the Holy Names would be sung in every town and village throughtout the whole world". And that will surely happen if we firmly and with great determination follow the instructions given by the Spiritual master. And there is nothing more dear for us in our live. Your personal example is inspiring for me and the love and care that you manifest toward your disciples and followers will probably mealt even my heart like stone! And in this way, touching the hearts of more and more conditioned souls it would make it easier for Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's prediction to come true!
Again and again I offer my humble obeisances at the lotus feet of my beloved Siksa Guru, Jayapataka Swami!
Your servant,
