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
Gurumaharaj, my spiritual father,
Please accept my most humble obeisance to the dust of your lotus feet. All glories to srila prabhpad.
In this year, on two occasions, once when you visited our Krishna Katha Desh yatra virtually and on Gaura Purnima day, you gave us an opportunity to speak with you and that act of your kindness on this fallen conditioned soul, will be cherished all through my life Guru maharaj.
Point that always inspires me was your “Never Give up” attitude to serve Srila Prabhupada, guiding your disciples/followers and your amazing efforts to spread and preach the gaura katha to every town and village. You are practical example of how to serve and follow the spiritual master instructions enthusiastically irrespective of the conditions to self and surrounding. I am feeling short of words to mention about your services to spread Srila prabhupad mission.
Guru maharaj, We in Krishna Katha Desh, experienced all odds, many members in our congregation lost their jobs and one of the devotees (Sheltered at your lotus feet- Gita Nagarajan mataji), lost her life due COVID-19. Things have been changed this year 2020-2021 due to pandemic and whatever small personal association was there in Krishna katha desh, was taken back but one thing in my observation that was not changed was your determination to reach out to your disciple through “Jayapataka swami” app messages, updates, zoom live classes, virtual home visits, Birthday blessings, etc. Your association/connection giving us immense of spiritual strength.
Your initiatives for congregation preaching through Bhakti vriksha program is your service to Srila Prabhupada initiatives for developing the congregation all over the world to fulfill the Lord chaitanya prophecy. These results are ever increasing in Krishna katha desh in spite the pandemic challenges.
Serving the yatra in the capacity of south Mahacakrapati and one of mandala serva dasas. Year 2020-21 was most difficult year, but by your mercy we could still manage to get new members through with the other virtual alternatives taught by you (ideas of Virtual Ratha Yatra, Parikrama, outreach, Gita Yagnta, Damodar prgramas, etc). Me and my wife conducted 2 sessions “Bhagavadgita in 18 days” during kartik month and total around 80 souls attended the classes. More than 70 devotees are still attending my wife weekly classes. Need your blessings Guru maharaj for their spiritual progress. 10 devotees took initiation and 4 took shelter from cakra, achieved 57 Bhakti Vriksha against the target of 47 for the maha cakra.
Please bestow your mercy and empower me to fulfil the above aspirations without any tinge of pride and selfish motives while serving you in helping Srila Prabhupada mission.
Guru Maharaj on this special day of yours, I humbly beg you for the following benedictions that:
1) To have only one desire, that is to follow your instruction guru-mukha-padma-vākya, cittete koribo aikya with focus to purify my contaminated consciousness.
2) To fulfill the desire of KKD Yatra 222 -2022 Bhakti Vriksha (BV) in Krishna katha desh. Also Guru maharaj, seek your blessings and empowerment for the fulfillment of challenge in taking up 74 BV groups in our South maha cakra in the 2021.
3) Require all your special blessings to my son Anirudh (for his success in UG education Faculty of Engineering in Canada ) and my daughter Amrutha (for her success in her future endeavors.)
4) My mother Varadhatri Paurnamasi dd (Your initiated disciple) lost her left eye sight and needs blessing her so that she will be able get her vision.
Guru Maharaja, My entire family (wife, Ujjvala kalindi dd, your aspirant children, Amrutha and Anirudh and my mother Varadhatri Paurnamasi dd) joins me on the auspicious day of your 72nd vyasa puja, in praying to lordships Sri Sri Radha Madhava, sri sri gaura nitai, Narsimha dev and Panch tatva for your good health so that you will be in your best of spirits and also complete the “Lord Chaitanya” book which would be a greatest treasure for entire Gaudiya Vaishnava community in future.
