Dear Guru Maharaj,
Please accept our respectful obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
We are blessed to offer few words of glorification of a great Vaishnava like you on your vyasapuja day.
You have happily embraced the opportunities in your life and accepted inconveniences at every moment of your life in a way that could please your spiritual master H.D.G A.C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. Seeing you, I had started learning that accepting inconveniences in life for the pleasure of guru is the greatest sacrifice a disciple can do. It is not easy to for conditioned soul covered by a body and mind to accept inconveniences. You have time and again transcended all these challenges and lived a life only for the service of Prabhupada. As you had said "Jayapataka's life is not his own. It's Prabhupada to do with as his own". Your whole life is a living example for how a disciple should dedicate his life in guru's service. You are a complete transcendental personality. You have defied the calculations / predictions of doctors and dragged your living with us only to serve your spiritual master. That's your great kindness upon us. When will I change? When will I stop giving excuses and embrace the inconvenience for your service? When will I offer myself to you at your service completely? When will that day come when loving service for you supersedes all the other of this world? That day I will be able to claim myself to be Jayapataka's. That day I will be able to humble myself at your feet with love for you filled in the heart. I assure you that I am working on self for it. I am struggling to change myself. Fighting against my conditioning. I am putting my efforts but I cannot do it all alone. I need your mercy. Please bless us that we will be able to preach Krishna Consciousness widely and be able to please you. Bless us that we will also carry the mood of yours which is non-different from that of Srila Prabhupada's (our parampara) while executing services for you. Please bless us that we will be able to do service to you without expecting any sort of name, fame, glory, respect, appreciation, etc. Seeking only for opportunities to serve you and your followers.
