All Glories to Sri Jayapataka Swami Maharaj,
All Glories to Srila Prabupada
Dear Guru Maharaj,
All Glories to your auspicious appearance day.
I bow down to your Lotus feet as it is the abode of pure devotional service and from where the practice of devotional service sprouts and devotional creeper begins to grow.
It is a great opportunity to me by your mercy to open my heart and write on this 71st Vyasa Pooja grand celebration. I feel, am gifted simultaneously blessed by the Guru parampara to write few words.
I became Jagath Guru Krishna dasa, by your great mercy in the year 2003 in Dubai, along with my wife - named by you as Thanya Radhika Devi dasi, and we relocated to Colombo last year. May I request to bestow your blessings to start a Bhakti Vrksha and a C hildren’s class in the locality where we live now.
In the early days of joining in Krishna Conscious movement I learnt from you - Dear Guru Maharaj, two main lessons. How much a disciple should be dedicated to His Spiritual Master and the second, compassion you extend to the devotees. But, in the recent years you have taught almost all the disciples of Krishna Conscious movement, ‘what is tolerance’ and ‘what is steadfastness’ as explained by Krishna to Arjuna in Chapter 2, of Bhagavad Gita. Your life history is a lesson to every human being irrespective of whether he is in Krishna Consciousness or not.
May Lord Narasingha Dev protect your health to continue Your service,
All glories, all glories unto You,
Your eternal servant,
Jagath Guru Krsna dasa.
