Please accept my humble obeisance at the dust of your lotus feet …
All glories to His Divine grace Srila Prabhupada …
All glories to our beloved and respectful His Holiness Jaya Pataka Swami Guru Maharaja …
This year we are celebrating your divine grace 69 years appearance day on this earthly planate. This day is very auspicious day not only for your disciples but also for all living entities in this earthy planate. Scriptures state that when Sri Krishna develops very much merciful and compassion mood at that time he sends His pure devotees to this material world to deliver conditioned souls. These pure devotees are personification of mercy of Lord Sri Krishna.
We are so worry about His Holiness your physical condition and pray …
However, His Divine Grace Your most challenged physical condition has not deterred your determination to preach, and this is proof that your preaching is - UNCONDITIONAL - not dependent upon any material circumstances and is thus pure and pleasing to both Srila Prabhupada and Lord Sri Krishna!! It shows Krishna’s message that “I am the soul Not the Body …”
You are that mercy personification of Lord Sri Krishna. Your merciful nature has become clearer to everyone after your health crisis. You are so merciful even if after health crisis you are travelling to preach Krishna conscious around the world for delivering the fallen souls. This is very amazing to see how you are extending yourself for preaching in spite of your physical difficulties. Our all spiritual Leaders and His Devine grace Your God Brothers says, "Jaya Pataka Swami has proved that he is not this body..." It is very clear that you are beyond bodily concept of life and have full control over your mind for engaging in the service of Lord Sri Krishna.
Shastra says," Vaisnavas are para dukha dukhi" and His Holiness You are good example of this verdict of shastra. Now we can see it vividly through His Holiness Your life style ...You feel so concerned for the fallen souls of this material world that you do not care for your physical condition.
After my initiation from You, Divine Grace I could increase my sadhana, preaching, chanting, book distribution includes Jails (prisons) and public places in India as well as Damodar Desh.
Every year I am getting the chances to do “public preaches” during popular festivals of ancient temples in Kerala …”
All good results of above are dedicating to His Holiness Your Lotus feet …
Still I remember with tears … “When I was try to serve you in the night at the residence of His Grace Srivallabha Prabhu … Whenever His Holiness you open the eyes from His holiness Your sleep, the same time His Holiness you were very conscious of chanting and was continuing JAPA with the Counter”.
Also, “His Holiness You are very conscious and alert for administrative part and was discussed various subject with His Grace Sri Vallabha Prabhu …”
I am not qualified to bless His Holiness You … But I wish and submitting my prays to the Lotus feet of Lord Krishna … “May Lord bless us so that His Holiness you will be with us, physically present (with full healthy by physically as well as spiritually) many years to guide us and bless us in our devotional life and support ISKCON and fulfill the mission of His Devine Grace Srila Prabhupada …
I am very kind of His Holiness You and Thank you so much for everything that His Holiness you have done for us …
Your Humble Servant,
Muralinath Krishna Dasa,
Damodar Desh
