Hare Kṛṣṇa!
Most beloved Jayapatākā Swami Guru Mahārāja, Please accept my most respectful obeisances. All Glories to Your Divine Grace.
All Glories to His Divine Grace Śrīla Prabhupāda at whose lotus feet you hold on to very fixed and lovingly.
We can all see that your actual strength and all your desires are based on your service to His Divine Grace Śrīla Prabhupāda, to which you hold close to your heart every single second of each passing day.
You are showing us what means to actually hold the words and desires of the spiritual master very close and dear to ones heart, you are so much concerned with the welfare of every living entity, you are never thinking of your own health issues or difficulties which may arise, and always putting in priority others by helping them increase their Kṛṣṇa Consciousness.
Guru Mahārāja, every one of us witnessing such a great achievement by having you still personally here, instructing each of us how to become more fixed in Kṛṣṇa consciousness and as quickly as possible.
You are taking so many dangerous bodily situations by giving us the chance to take to Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
Personally, initiating so many conditioned souls.
Guru Mahārāja I have been one of those fortunate ones to have witnessed so many changes and increased depth in your preaching activities how strong, determined and lovingly you keep giving into guiding us all back, and to realize that we have a higher meaning to our lives and that material life is not such an important business, that this body is only used to fulfil the instructions and wishes of the Spiritual Master and desires of Śrī Kṛṣṇa.
You are taking on personally, all the implications in such an impressive service to Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Personally when I think to how Your dear Guru Mahārāja are taking on so many situations and seeing in how you deal on a very personal level to every single issue and person, I realize that whatever issue I may have to deal with in my life to overcome obstacles, when I think on how you are dealing with so many of these in every moment of the day , it gives me such personal strength and it makes all the issues seem very trivial and petty and not any more an impending issue.
Then realizing this I can again realize this was just a fleeting passing material moment and has nothing to do with my real unconditional self.
In which my real important status is to get back on track in pure Devotional service as quickly as possible, taking the only shelter of the Spiritual Masters instructions to heart.
Guru Mahārāja you are my beacon of light that shines and guiding me helping me over things I never thought possible.
Making me realize that I have such a long way to go, but I understand that at least I am on the right track.
Guru Mahārāja you have given me such a lot of personal help over the years and nothing can ever repay any of this, I will only ever ask to remain eternally in your service, in which ever way I can be of service to you, lifetime after lifetime.
May You Guru Mahārāja be always blessed in all the three worlds for your great endeavours to change this world and all its dangerous intricate ways.
You are giving the shade of the lotus feet of His Divine Grace Śrīla Prabhupāda and of Lord Śrī Caitanya, to every living soul you come across.
I also wish to mention that last time I was in the airport you were leaving and I notice an old lady walk right up to you and she threw in a few coins in your lap and walked away almost as fast as she came she was gone.
But even to this soul, even she could recognize such a great personal servant of the Lord and the great endeavours you go to bring The Lords pastimes to us all, and to just throw just a few coins into your lap and to hopefully get your blessings by such an action.
Guru Mahārāja I only beg and pray to always remember these pastimes with you and that I remain always somehow fixed in your instructions.
To always remember, what is the most important thing we should be doing in our daily lives.
To become Kṛṣṇa Consciousness, and to give to everyone we meet.
There are never enough words to praise or glorify such a wonderful Spiritual Master.
But I humbly and respectfully offer my obeisance over and over again to you.
Life time after lifetime please shade me with your blessings to become even a drop of worthiness in helping you, in your services to His Divine Grace Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Thank you immensely from my heart.
All glories to you most Dear Jayapatākā Swami Guru Mahārāja who is so dear to His Divine Grace Śrīla Prabhupāda and all the Vaishnavas.
Your always eternal servant,
Līlāvilāsinī devī dāsī (Dīkṣā)
