My beloved Gurudeva, please accept our families' humble obeisances unto your lotus feet. These days my seva and my chanting have become completely mechanical and due to the material pressure, I am unable to cope up with spiritual discipline. As a Grihastha, I have a great desire to serve devotees and Srila Prabhupada's mission but I am actually doing nothing. Even the most basic principles such as chanting and reading books have become cumbersome. I haven't stopped these but doing as if it is a duty and not out of love. Somehow I feel I lost enthusiasm in the spiritual advancement but the same has been doubled towards materialistic advancement working for the goal I have kept and your holiness had blessed me in Damodardesh with respect to doing my own business. Most of my time has been engaged in making things work nicer on the material front because of which not really able to concentrate much on spiritual advancement. I have discussed this matter with my Shiksha gurus as well and they have given me a year to decide which works best and come to terms with the business.
25 September 2019 - on Dvadashi my father Kriparnava Keshava Dasa, your humble disciple has passed away with heart attack and with your mercy, he had passed away very gloriously at home with a smile on the face. He was totally detached with the family and was in ecstatic love with Supreme Lord Krishna - my father Prabhu read all the 18 chapters of Gita just before 3 days of his passing away and he was daily reading Srimad Bhagavatam and listening to Prabhupada lectures and he was totally in the stage of bhava bhakti. It was the greatest blessings we could ever achieve. He did not even complete two years of discipleship and although he was handicapped with 90% disability he was always eager to serve the mission and had a great mood of preaching. I totally trust that you have showered your gracious blessings on my father prabhu. May you reclaim more and more fallen conditioned souls on this earth and give them the highest compassionate blessings of becoming Krishna conscious and serving the Vaishnavas.
Please accept dandavat pranams from my wife Jeeveswari Visnupriya devi and my son Ruthwik. By your mercy, Ruthwik almost came out of Attention-deficit Hyperactivity disorder and he is been studying nicely and he always does shloka recitation in the school and known for presenting for BhagavadGita shloka recitation. Please keep showering your gracious blessings unto them.
Gurumaharaj, many devotees are writing to you for blessings and glorifying you or asking you with soul uplifting questions for spiritual advancement but this servant of yours is so worthless to just mention my current condition and to ask for forgiveness for all the aparadhas I have been committing at your lotus feet.
We sincerely pray to Your lotus feet and wish a very happy Krishna conscious birthday on your Vyas puja 2020.
Vanca kalpatarubhyasca kripa sindhubhya eva ca patitanam pavanebhyo vaisnavebhyo namo namaha!!
All Glories to my dear father Srila Jayapatka Swami GuruMaharaj!
All Glroies to Srila Prabhupad, Sri Guru and Sri Gauranga!!
