Dear spiritual father, Jayapataka Swami Acaryapada, the devoted son of your beloved Gurudeva Srila Prabhupada, all glories to your auspicious appearance day! Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet!
By your unlimited mercy, Sri Krishna’s wonderful arrangement and the help of devotees, now I am back home in Sri Mayapur Dhama, and I can see you eye to eye. Looking in your eyes, I imagine, how Gauranga was looking in the eyes of Jagannatha. Although you was not here, I arrived in Mayapur on your vyasa puja 2018 - I was thinking, that you will be happy by that. You know all my thoughts and doings like Sri Krishna Himself – I feel it, because you always respond on them by your Teachings on Facebook.
All the time of your sickness my only praying was: please stay with us! Srila Prabhupada, Nitai-Gauranga and Radha-Madhava – please allow him to stay with us! You know, how much you are loved by your devotees. And connection all of us with you is not on the level of material body or mind, but pure spiritual, as you are teaching us by your examples in different ways. You personally show us reality of conception, that we are not these material bodies, but eternal spiritual souls. I cannot imagine my life without you, the similar – like without my Deities of Nitai-Gauranga, Gopal and Nrisimhadeva, whose transcendental qualities reflected very nicely in you, dear Gurudeva. What ever problems are coming, you always stay positive, creative and joyful, so inspiring fortunate souls, who surround you and surrender you.
Here in Mayapur I do my sadhana, serve to my Deities, attend Temple programs, study Srila Prabhupada’s, your’s and other devotee’s books. I stay in contact with my friends in Latvia, who published the Krishna conscious magazine “RASA” in both Latvian and Russian languages, and I keep my preaching work in this magazine. In every second issue there is my article also. As my body is 65 years old, I cannot do very much active service. Before returning to Mayapur I issued two books in Latvia, in Latvian language, about my and my husband’s life and service in Mayapur Project 20 years ago, on researches of West Bengal terracotta Temples and with preaching about Gauranga Mahaprabhu, about Krishna consciousness. Now my last will is to make architectural project of the small terracotta Temple and drawings for exterior terracotta plaques, so that devotees from all around the world could take this project and build this Temple. Terracotta Temples themselves are the preachers of Sri Krishna bhakti.
My house and land in Latvia I gave to the devotees to use in service for Krishna. Now official owner of it is Giriraja prabu – devotee of your dear devotee Caitanya Candra Carana Maharaja.
Dear Gurudeva, you are so much engaged in service to Srila Prabhupada, Sri Krishna, His devoties, to the innumerable fallen souls of this dangerous material world. I pray: How long I should stay in this material world, let Sri Krishna’s unlimited mercy keep me under the shade of His dear bhakta’s – your lotus feet. Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, the result is victory! Jayapataka Swami ki-jaya!!! Nitai-Gauranga ki-jaya!!! Thank you, dear Gurudeva! Hare Krishna!
Your insignificant devotee,
