Nama oṁ Viṣṇupādāya Kṛṣṇa presṭhāya bhūtale
sṛīmate Jayapataka Swami iti nāmine
Nama Acyra padaye Nitai Kripa pradayine
Gaura Katha kama daya nagara grama tarine
All Glories to His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada
Dear Srila Jayapataka Swami Guru Maharaj,
On this most auspicious day, of Your Holiness Vyasa Puja, please accept my respectful humble obeisance’s, and kindly forgive my offences.
Although I am an insignificant disciple of Your Holiness, and full of faults, still I am constantly awaiting your causeless mercy to be bestowed upon me. I have never given up my faith, or my love, nor the hope that someday I may be a worthy disciple.
As you know my daily prayers always include the words “please forgive my offences”, as I am always feeling myself unworthy to be receiving your mercy time and again, since my wife, Ananda Sundari devi dasi and I met Srila Guru Maharaj at KLIA, Malaysia in 2007 and Your Holiness so metcifully gave us shelter and spiritual passports to Krsnaloka, Sri Sri Goloka Vrindavana.
Guru Maharaj, Your Holiness have been the one constant in our lives since then, our best friend and ever well wisher. And I remain chaste to you, my lord and master, as well as Spiritual Father, unconditionally.
Today I was reading from the numerous speeches and there was one particular addressed that is the basis for my offering today. In this speech, Your Holiness had mentioned;
“Yes, we should always think of ourselves as the most fallen, the most ignorant and it is simply by the mercy of Lord Caitanya that we have even the opportunity to serve Srila Prabhupada and Krsna. We have no qualification of our own; it is simply by the merciful glance of this most munificent appearance of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, that we have been given the chance to serve Radha and Krsna”
Due to your great humility, you give the credit to Srila Prabhupada and Lord Sri Caitanya, but I think it is simply by your bountiful mercy and blessings that we have received the benediction of Sri Caitanya. It was Your Holiness who brought peace and harmony to ISKCON Malaysia when most devotees were lost, confused and despondent, to open their eyes with the torchlight of knowledge. And it was Guru Maharaj who akin to a lion roar, always brought this Chanting of the Hare Krishna Mantra in our Ratha Yatras all over Malaysiaand due to your beautiful and pure chanting of the Holy Names of God caused the young brahmacharis and other devotees to sing and dance with Your Holiness. It was Srila Guru Maharaj who was given the instructions by His Divine Grace, A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada, our founder acyra of ISKCON to make 50,000 disciples worldwide as well as to distribute ten thousand Bhagavad gitas of Srila Prabhupada every year and who turned the most fallen and most ignorant people into vaisnava scholars and priests. It was simply by your munificent appearance and merciful glance, that the most fallen in this age were given the chance to know Lord Caitanya, and thus were given the chance to serve Radha and Krsna.
Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura, a great acarya in the line of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu has written, “By the mercy of the spiritual master, one receives the benediction of Krsna. Without the grace of the spiritual master, one cannot make any advancement” Therefore, without Srila Guru Maharaj’s help, no one disciple can become free from the cycle of repeated birth and death.
So on this Most Blessed day, Your Holiness Appearance day celebration, Please accept my humble obeisance’s again and again, kindly forgive all my offences, and continue to guide us,as our captain with Your Holiness books,as maps, to steer me through the rough waters of this dangerous age of Kali!
We, our Krsna given late son, HG Vadanya Nitai dasa who was given first initiation by Srila Guru Maharaj on the auspicious day of Sri Radhastami on September 8th, 2008 in Sri dham Mayapur, my Krsna given wife, Ananda Sundari devi dasi and this impudent self, Mahesa Advaita dasa would like to take this opportunity of Your Holiness Vyasa puja to express our sincere heartfelt thanks, deepest gratitude and highest appreciation to Srila Guru Maharaj for the innumerable mercies, blessings and grace shown upon us which we remain eternally indebted to Your Holiness.
Begging to remain your eternal servants, though I am a lowly, unqualified and insignificant,
(Diksa disciples)
Malaysia.
