Om ajnana timirandhasya jnananjana salakaya
Caksur unmilitam yena tasmai sri gurave namah
Nama om Vishnu padaya Krishna prasthaya bhutale
Srimate Jayapataka swamin iti namine
Nama acarya padaya nitai kripa pradayine
Gaura katha dama daya nagara grama tarine
My dear spiritual father,
Please accept my most respectful obeisances at your lotus feet on this most auspicious day of your Vyasa Puja. All Glories to your Holiness! All glories to His Divine Grace, Srila Prabhupada! All glories to Sankirtana movement of Lord Caitanya.
Guru Maharaj, your dedication and perseverance to serve Srila Prabhupada is a great motivation for all of us. Your continuous efforts to spread and distribute Lord Caitanya’s mercy across the globe is an epitome of your spiritual compassion without giving any consideration to your physical conditions. Your wonderful narrations of Caitanya Lila are always nectarian to hear. Your humble and loving kindness always inspires us to keep tightly bound together in the family of Srila Prabhupad. All glories to your service to Sri guru and Sri Gauranga!
Gurumaharaj, as it is said no material thing can become an obstacle in the path of Krishna consciousness, you turned all odds into opportunities. This pandemic might have stopped you to travel physically but could not stop you meeting the devotees. More than ever before we are all getting opportunity to associate with you day after day, virtually.
Gurumaharaj, it has become our routine to have your darshan on live Caitanya Lila classes and to listen to your vani. Your personalized blessings to each and every devotee on zoom are really touching our hearts. Listening to your vani regularly gives us a lot of inspiration to practice and preach Krishna consciousness to others.
And the best part of your communication is through Jayapataka Swami APP. Each detail like the therapies you are taking to the GBC meetings you are attending everything is updated in that. Now we are feeling better connected with you. It shows your compassion and your eagerness to reach the vast disciple community of yours. We are indebted to you for the same.
Gurumaharaj, this year due to pandemic we were worried about the continuity of classes in our congregation and especially outreach programs. But by your inspiration, after seeing and attending your virtual classes, we took a step forward and conducted Bhagavadgita in 18 days as an outreach program within and outside of KKD during kartik month. Around 100 people have enrolled for it. And the program was successful. The result is 2 new Bhakti Vrikshas (India & USA) have started from that. Altogether around 65 devotees are attending regularly the virtual Bhagavadgita classes from past 4 months. It is completely a new experience for me without physically meeting the devotees and sharing Krishna consciousness. Both these batches are very active and need your blessings for all of them to accept Krishna consciousness and get the mercy of Lord Gauranga. It is possible by your mercy only Gurumaharaj.
Gurumaharaj, I am continuing the services as Bhakti Sastry tutor in regional language Telugu, as Principal for Balya Seva Department apart from taking children classes. My desire is to assist in translating your books into Telugu language. I pray at your lotus feet and seek your blessings so that I can continue my services with proper attitude for your pleasure in spreading Krishna Consciousness in this part of the world as per your desire.
This year though the pandemic has brought drastic changes in our lives, without association of devotees and gatherings, we tried to celebrate all the festivals virtually. The drive behind all our services is your Holiness only gurumaharaj.
We are so fortunate that we are under your shelter and protection. Thank you dearest gurudev for always keeping us in your prayers. Without your prayers our lives would have been a disaster.
My daughter Amrutha & son Anirudh joins me in paying their respectful obeisances at your Lotus feet. Please bless them so that they will be in the path of Krishna Consciousness all through their lives.
On this auspicious occasion of your appearance, we pray to Lordships to protect you always, give you the strength and energy to carry on with your mission of spreading Krishna consciousness ‘unlimitedly” as srila prabhupada wanted you, for years and years to come.
Your insignificant daughter
