Dear Guru Maharaj Jayapataka Swami!
2018 brought us a deeper understanding of the immaculate character of Your Holiness. All the disciples were in great anxiety, apprehensive about the liver and kidney transplants that you were about to do. On the day and time while the surgery was taking place, we held a vigil, spent the whole night singing the Holy Names, praying to Lord Nrisimha, keeping a ghee lamp on and circling Srimati Tulasi Devi. We were very anxious and afraid that you would leave at that moment. Both I and other spiritual brothers longed to meet him personally. As I chanted the Holy Names, I thought about the loyalty relationship that many devotees had with Srila Prabhupada and how they suffered when Prabhupada fell ill and they feared his departure. This situation was similar and it was through this that Krishna allowed us to experience a very different feeling of union with you. During that night, I also remembered that one of the most important factors that made me want to be his disciple was that his life and soul had always been to satisfy Srila Prabhupada. So at that moment I was also wishing to live in order to be able to satisfy you, Guru Maharaj. Your Holiness has a very filling presence in our lives, just as the sun, even though it is physically distant, provides light and warmth and maintains the lives of many beings, you also provide us with enthusiasm and maintain our spiritual lives with the love and compassion that you have. emanates. All the immense effort you make to overcome health problems is only to give mercy to more people through your association. Wherever you are, you are always enthusiastic to surrender, to cooperate in devotional service.
Guru Maharaj, you manifest the ecstasies of an Avadhuta, but at the same time you are so simple and loving to everyone. You are always humble, you always do what is necessary for people to become more and more Krishna conscious. You are funny and fun, you are vigorous and determined, you speak in an attractive way and your preaching fills us with enthusiasm. These qualities are just a demonstration of your love and your desire for everyone to be truly happy.
Guru Maharaj, I wish to serve you forever. For mercy, give me the grace to be more committed to your mission and, please, grant me the blessing to distribute Srila Prabhupada's books with determination and sincerity throughout my life, birth after birth.
All glories to His Holiness Jayapataka Swami Guru Maharaj!
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
All glories to Sri Sri Guru Gouranga!
Nitai Goura Premanande!
Golokera Premadana Harinama Sankirtana !!!
