All Glories to Sri Sri Guru and Gauranga
My Dear Srila Jayapataka Maharaj
Please accept my most humble obeisances at your lotus feet.
I remember the first time Prabhu Revatinath and I met ypu at the temple room in Rio de Janeiro. Revatinath is my personal friend for over 30 years. He took shelter at your lotus feet and I took Srila Govinda Maharaj's diksa initiation. However, I can say that having had contact with you in our youth marked our lives forever. Revatinath and I are still very close friends, especially after our parents abandoned the material body. I usually go to Rio de Janeiro Mandir together with Prabhu Revatinath and help him to prepare the Sunday prasada.
This is a real nectar for me. As Srila Govinda Maharaj was your well-wisher, I can say that I am interested in taking your siksa initiation. I close here wishing that Mahaprabhu Chaitanya would allow you to have a lot of health to preach and to stay with us longer. Your weel-wisher, servant and candidate for siksa disciple, Jayadeva Das (Jorge Luiz Mattoso Rodrigues) Rio de Janeiro Mandir Brazil, South America.

P.S. I am sending two photos. One it is mine alone, using a brown cap and the other it is me and Revatinath.
