His Holiness Jayapataka Guru Maharaj,
Nama om Vishnu padaya Krishna prashtaya bhutale
Srimate Jayapataka swamin iti namine
Namo acharya padaya nitai krupa pradayine
Gaura Kada damadaya nagara grama tarine
We, Murari Murthy Manadas & Sriprada Ranga Devi Dasi, your humble servants whom you have kindly accepted as your spiritual children and connected us to the Glorious Brahma Madhva Gaudiya Sampradaya by awarding the initiation to us in the year 2015. We offer our respectable obeisance to your lotus feet. We are too insignificant to write to your kind self to write about our services to your lotus feet. However, as a matter of duty, we are submitting our seva details to you.
First of all, please accept our wishes on your glorious appearance day.
We were conducting a Bhakthi Vruksha in our home before the Lock down and we have stopped the same after the lock down. However, we have now restarted the same again through online meeting platform.
With the mercy & the opportunity provided by HG Anadi Jagannath Das & your inspiration, we have taken Gita Gyan (one batch each separately), the essence of Bhagavadgita, 18 chapters in 18 days in Telugu language for Level -1 and now we are also taking Level-2 batch of Gita Gyan course in Telugu (1 batch each). At present, Gita Gyan Junior course for kids is being taken up by Sriprada Ranga Devi Dasi(1 batch around 50 Kids participating). All these seva opportunities were provided by the mercy of HG Anadi Jagannath Das Prabhuji and with your kind motivation/ inspiration. Please bless us that in future also we could take part in such preaching activities under the guidance of you/ your senior disciples.
We are also contributing regularly to various activities of ISKCON like temple construction, Gomata Seva, Dham Seva etc. We have also participated in virtual yatras of Mayapur Dham & Ekachakra Dham also. Regarding, our sadhana we are following regularly sadhana as prescribed by Srila Prabhupada. We could not get much direct association of the devotees due to COVID restrictions. We both completed the Bhakthi Sastri course(from Nov 2019 to Oct 2020) and we got the certificates from Mayapur Institute for Higher Education.
We are blessed with a son named Nandanandan, who is 10 years old now, is also chanting 6 rounds and is very much interested in reading sastras. He took aspiration from your kind self on 26th Nov ‘20 for 4 rounds virtually. He was so inspired by your kind self and now increased his rounds from 4 to 6 from Gaura Purnima 2021. He is also participating in Gita Gyan Junior course now. Please bestow your blessings upon to him.
As the journey completed by us ultimately reaching the Lotus feet of Lord Krishna is very very very less, we request your kind self and pray to your lotus feet, to bless us so that we may get Krishna Prema and Gaura prema, to chant the holy names of the Lord without any offences, increase our attachment & love for your lotus feet and to the lotus feet of Srila Prabhupad, to be able to read sastras regularly & understand them and finally, to eternally engage in your service & in the service of all the great vaishnavas whole heartedly and complete dedication.
Your insignificant servants,
Murari Murthy Manadas & Sriprada Ranga Devi Dasi
