Dear Jayapataka Swami,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
I am happy to say a few words of glorification to you because you are a devotee that is very dear to Srila Prabhupada.
Your faith in Srila Prabhupada and Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu can be seen by your determination to spread the glories of the Holy Name all over the world.
Your eagerness to increase the family of devotees and to help the conditioned souls by connecting them to Srila Prabhupada's ISKCON shows your outstanding compassion.
71 is the age most people retire and take it easy, but you are full of energy, you have a burning desire to bring more devotees to take shelter to Sri Sri Pancha Tattva, Sri Sri Radha Madhava, Lord Nrsimhadeva, Srila Prabhupada and you give them shelter and give them a new spiritual birth.
Srila Prabhupada wrote to Abhirama Prabhu in January 1976
Where there is preaching there must be life.
Your preaching is very much alive and we can see that you are very much concerned about the material and spiritual welfare of the Mayapur devotees and therefore the devotees feel sheltered and loved and cared for and that's why they can go out on book distribution and become number one in the world because the devotees see your example of pure unalloyed devotional service to please Srila Prabhupada and they want to reciprocate by working hard, to serve you.
You see the Corona Virus as an opportunity to distribute the Karuna, the mercy of the Lord, to other devotees. You encourage the Mayapur devotees to stay fixed in Krsna Consciousness by increasing their Devotional practices, their chanting, their reading of Srila Prabhupada's books and you are inspiring them to preach trough the different internet channels to reach as many devotees that are isolated and to reach many people who are bereft of Krsna Consciousness and who are suffering due to a lack of knowledge.
Due to the Covid 19 and the confinement to stay in one place and due to the decisions the Mayapur Administrative Council has to take, we are having your association more than ever. I am very happy to serve in Mayapur Dham under your guidance and I hope Krsna will continue to bless me by giving me the opportunity to continue to serve you in this way.
Your servant,
Hrdaya Caitanya das
