Nama Om Vishnu padaya Krishna-preshtaya bhutale Srimate Jayapataka Swamin iti namine
Nama Acharya padaya Nitai kripa pradayine Gaura Katha Dhama daya nagara grama tarine
Our dear most spiritual father,
Please accept our most humble and respectful obeisance to your lotus feet. All glories to Srila Prabhupad. All Glories to you.
As the whole world was under the grip of Covid pandemic, the ray of hope, the confidence that we can go past this adverse period also, comes from taking shelter of the Supreme. The pandemic enforced travel restrictions, closed down the temples, disallowed gatherings and stopped the weekly programs completely. But that also made possible an option to use the material energy of the Lord in His service. Thus using the modern technology every home was made into a temple, allowing anybody to join any program online, even from another country or continent. You led this activity by giving daily classes on Chaitanya leela and other classes on regular basis. You visited each devotee’s residence although virtually, an association which was not possible in the past. This tremendously encouraged all your disciples and followers and enthused them to remember Krishna and take off their minds from the dreadful pandemic.
Your untiring preaching efforts, attachment to Gauranga and confidence in Prabhupada’s teachings continues to be the motivation for our devotional engagements. I am about to retire and move back to Kochi, Kerala next month. We seek your blessings to continue to get opportunities to render services to the best of our very limited capability, without any other self-interest. Kindly grace us to remove our anarthas so that we will be able to lovingly serve Krishna and His devotees.
We humbly continue to pray to Sri Sri Radha Madhava, Lord Narashimha deva and Panca Tatva to kindly remember all the nice wonderful service you have performed to Them and Their devotees and that They may, if They please, give good health enabling you to continue your service to Srila Prabhupada for many years to come.
Kindly forgive us for any offenses committed to you, knowingly or unknowingly.
Your insignificant servants
