Dear Guru Maharaj,
Nama Om Vishnu padaya krsna preshtaya bhutale
Srimate Jaypataka Swamin iti namine
Nama Acharyapadaya Nitai kripa pradayine
Gaura katha dhama daya Nagar grama tarine.
On this auspicious ekadasi day of your 71st vyasa puja, please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.
You have served Srila Prabhupada as an exemplary disciple tirelessly travelling and preaching his glories and expanding the Iskcon movement.
Inspite of your health issues we can see that your enthusiasm to preach and give classes everyday keep us inspired and gives us the motivation to spread the holy names. We can feel your mood and ectasy and visualise lord Chaitanya's pastimes when you narrate from Chaitanya Charitamrita.
We are not this body but a spirit soul is the philosophy that we are taught from the early days of our krsna consciousness. A philosophy which we know but find it hard to practise. You show us by your example that inspite of the health issues and your bodily suffering you are not on the bodily platform and are connected to the Supreme lord at every moment.
As the TOVP nears completion, Srila Prabhupada's dream and your dedication to complete this project is indeed glorious. We are all eagerly waiting for the grand day of the temple opening.
Let me take this opportunity to thank their lordship Radha Madhav, Pancha Tattva, Narsimhadev and Srila Prabhupada for giving me your holiness as a spiritual master. I am continuing to pray to them to keep you in good health and protecting you at all times. My family and I are indebted to you for lifetimes to come to accept a menial servant like me as your disciple.
Your humble servant.
Vishnulokapathy Das
Gaurangadesh.
