nama om visnupadaya krishna prestaya bhutale
srimate jayapataka swamin iti namine
nama acaryapadaya nitai krpa pradayine
gaura katha dhama daya nagara grama tarine
Dear Jayapataka Swami Guru-Maharaja,
Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! All glories to the shelter of your lotus feet on this most auspicious 71st Vyasa-Puja Celebration!
All glories to your concentrated determination to please Srila Prabhupada by assisting him in his mission to spread Krishna consciousness throughout the world.
On April 3, 2020 I think of how many homes/temples have your picture on their altars to be reminded, inspired, and blessed by the superhumanly enhanced activities and pastimes of your holy self. You are worshiped first on our altars so we can worship Srila Prabhupada and then worship Gaura-Nitai!
Now on your holy 71st Vyasa-Puja Celebration all these thousands of homes have the opportunity to together worship you all around the world on this very special day in a very special way, because of a world-wide “invisible enemy,” we can’t leave our homes. But we can all still worship you in a very intimate and personal way in our homes. We may not be able to go outward to make opulent arrangements, but we can go inward and from our hearts simply please you with service at your lotus feet on our home altars.
Guru-Maharaja please bless us that we may develop the internal opulence of allocating and investing all our energies, subtle and gross, to serve and please you and the holy Dham's throughout the world.
Bless us so we can become steady in our service to assist you, even though we may not be close to you physically. We are still personally and intimately connected in our seva, japa, sankirtan, and book distribution, which as you say, will also create a chakra protection around the world from our many visible and invisible enemies.
Your servants,
