All Glories to Srila Prabhupada
All Glories to Srila Gurudev
My Dear Gurumaharaj,
You are completely dedicated to fulfill the orders of Srila Prabhupada!
DHIRA:
Gurumaharaj, So many issues going within our organization, like temple management, disciples not cooperating but you are not disturbed in any situation. Continuously giving - proper guidance to disciples in serving Guru and Gauranga!
FOCUS:
Prabhupada gave you 38 instructions. Gurudev, you achieved almost all - like big project TOVP, Navadwip Mandala Parikrama, learning Bengali language and preaching, boat facility from Kolkata to Mayapur, accepting >50,000 disciples; really amazing. These activities shows - you are a great Acharya & how much surrendered to Srila Prabhupada’s instructions.
CAUSELESS MERCY:
Gurudev, you know accepting unqualified disciples like me, you would face more health problems. Even then - you are showing causeless mercy to us. Without you who will care about us.
TRANSCENDENTAL:
Gurudev you are fulfilling the desire of disciples;
On 30th Dec, 2016 Bangalore, I got a chance to do Vapu seva. I was waiting outside the room. Coordinating devotees told me, Gurudev is asleep & already other devotees are waiting from morning for service, you don’t have seva.
I intensely prayed to your lotus feet. I chanted & you gave mercy. I got the chance to serve you for 1 HOUR 45 MINUTES. With You Gurumaharaj that complete time was transcendental. I observed & realized so much; even in this health condition you are serving Srila Prabhupada - really amazing.
LORD NITYANANDA MOOD:
You are in ICU during transplant period in Govt Hospital; but you are always praying for others to receive Krishna Consciousness. Continuously preaching, you are not considering place, time, circumstances, situations - your mood is always to save this world from Maya and give Krishna prema to others.
GURUKUL LIFE:
Gurudev you are translating Caitanya Bhagavatam, giving class through Facebook, having Question & Answer sessions. Through these medium, everyday am taking your association - just to purify myself. These are great chances for us; ‘Gurukul Life’ - Everyday with Gurudev. You are giving association to disciples.
COMMITMENT:
Gurudev! You had serious health issues during last year Gaurapurnima (2018), but initiation dates were announced. So many local and foreign devotees had come to Mayapur. So, even in that difficult situation of yours - you planned & came to Mayapur, just to give initiation to us. This incident, I can never forget in my life. How wonderful you are!
I Surrendered:
My connection started with ISKCON through hill temple Bangalore, there preaching is different, but I came to Mayapur and took part for the first time in Navadwip Mandala Parikrama. First time - I had Your darshan and so many devotees with YOU like Honey bees, You are honey, You are saying Gauranga....
Gauranga..... Gauranga....in Surabhi kunj, you said everybody see Gauranga is there!! You chanted Gauranga Gauranga.... Gauranga.... Gauranga..... This particular incident made my heart surrendered to Your lotus feet. Considering Your pure devotion to Gauranga, if any living entity associates with you –Gurudev, definitely they will get Gaura Prem.
Am Fortunate:
Am very proud to say HH Jayapataka Swami is My Gurumaharaj. We are so fortunate, just remembering your lotus feet will overcome all kinds of obstacles.
All Glories to your Lotus Feet,
Gurudev whatever, whenever, wherever I may be - always I should seek your shelter and blessings....
Yours humble Servant,
Balabhadra Caitanya Das (Diksa)
