My Dear Spiritual Father and Guru Maharaja, March 26th, 2020
Please accept my respectful obeisances unto your lotus feet on your Most Auspicious Vyasa Puja Day.
We am so fortunate to have such a wonderful loving and caring spiritual master who is so dedicated to the service of Srila Prabhupada and saving the fallen souls. Thank you for tolerating all our mistakes and offenses in serving you through the years. Please forgive us for any and all offenses commited at your Lotus Feet. Thank you for placing so much trust in my wife and I in taking care of your Vapu and Vani Forms.
By your mercy, the Archives is now firmly established and we pray that it will continue for the next 10,000 years by devotees stepping foward to maintain & support your Vani Form in this valuable service. Your Archives has the responsibility to preserve and protect all of your media so that it can be digitized, stored and distributed widely to all your disciples and well-wishers.
I primarily oversee the video department plus take care of repairs & maintainance. I equipped the video department with 3 new desktop computers that can handle 4K video editing. I assembled the desktops from components researched and found on-line by Shyamsundar dasa. These are quick & powerful Desktop Computers that can speed up our editing & rendering time.
I have 3 devotees serving full-time to keep up with the demand. Diptimoy Gaura dasa was promoted Assistant Manager of the Jayapataka Swami Video Department. He cares for the digital back-up and Google sheet record keeping plus training and assigning service plus editing. Purandar Gopal dasa is a new video editor in-learning.
Gurudeva, you have two You Tube Channels to fullfill your wishes and reach out Worldwide to your disciples & well-wishers. The First Channel (Jayapataka Swami) is dedicated to covering your many activities & travels. I started this channel up in Novenber 22, 2015 by your direct instruction. The channel has accumulated 1,135,244 views & 14,700 subscribers with a total video count of 1917 videos. There is two devotees serving full-time editing & up-loading videos daily. The You Tube analytics shows every Month 40,712 views with 2900 hours watched & 689 new subscribers added. So it is coming along nicely.
The other You Tube Channel (NIMAINITAI) is dedicated to reach out to All ISKCON davotees from the World Headquarters here in Sri Dhama Mayapur, India. Caitanya Rupa devi dasi started this Channel in Atlanta, Georgia in April 8th, 2008 per your instruction. In 2012 when we left Atlanta to come here the channel was getting 3000 views a month. By your mercy it has grown to #6 position out of 250 devotee run channels worldwide. The attention it is gathering is reflected in the monthly Analytics put together by You Tube. The NIMAINITAI You Tube Channel has 4558 videos & is almost at 25 million views and 100,000 subscribers. This is big for a spiritual inclined channel and not a mundane material channel. Every MONTH it is collecting 762,000 views & 82,000 hours watched and 5000 subscribers added. This Channel for many years is covering activities happening here in ISKCON'S World Headquarters that were not being recorded before we came here. We are storing these video memories for the centuries by your mercy & empowerment. We are still in the early stages of Srila Prabhupada's spiritual movement especially with the predicted T.O.V.P. coming up.
You once said that; "The greatest blessing the Spiritual Master can give is his instructions." We can understand by your many instructions on how to fulfill this service that you have showered us with your mercy and blessings. For this we are eternally grateful.
Thank you again and again for allowing us to serve both your vapu and vani forms. It is a rare and precious mercy to serve a pure devotee. Yasya Prasada Bhagavata Prasada Yasya Prasada na gatih kutoh pi.
Please bless us to remain fixed in this service and in the shelter of your lotus feet
Eternally your small insignificant son and daughter
