My dear spiritual father,
Please accept my most respectful obeisances to the dust of your lotus feet.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
I just want to beg from you a drop of your spiritual strength in order to go through the challenges offered to me to grow on my devotional path. We are supposed to grow in the relationships we develop, but sometimes we get lost in them instead. We get entrapped in a labyrinth of contradictory desires, unable to discriminate between reality and illusion.
Also want to thank you for your astonishing determination and tolerance to stay in your current body, said not to be a shelter for any soul. How can I understand your love for your spiritual master? Your love for us? I don’t even know the meaning of this word, “love”, on the first place.
HH Bhakti Purosottama Swami explained on March 25th, at evening class, that by reading Caitanya Caritamrta, Caitanya Bhagavat, we don’t actually need to read any other Vedic literatures, as the conclusion of them is in Mahaprabhu’s lila, in this way making it easier for us to understand.
Maharaj also explained about your desire to leave books for your disciples, so now finally you are spending time to write this Caitanya book. So again, want to thank your concern for us, making this huge effort to make sure we will have access to the easiest way to understand pure bhakti.
Actually there is so much more to thank, please forgive my insufficient gratefulness and please bless me that I may accept devotional service in my heart, someday.
Dear Gurudeva, I would like to report about my attempts to serve your mission:
Your Facebook page, Jayapataka Swami Portuguese, has reached over 8000 likes.
I also created a Facebook page to post Spanish translations of your classes, in written form. Liz Valero, your recently aspiring disciple, is helping me with this service. The name of the page: Jayapataka Swami Clases en espanhol.
Also coordinating two groups in WhatsApp, one in Portuguese and the other in Spanish, to post your classes in written form, and sometimes oral form. These groups are for your disciples only, except for a few cases. Some people don’t use Facebook, or just prefer WhatsApp, this is the reason for these groups.
The Bhagavad Gita study group online, in Spanish, which started in 2018, it is a private group and has around 900 members today, six speakers, the classes are weekly and the number of members actively participating is significantly increasing. We are having constant requests from people to be part of this group.
Eternally grateful to you for engaging me in service, despite my endless disqualifications.
Your aspiring servant,
Mahapremada devi dasi
