Dear Your Holiness Jayapatākā Swami,
Please accept our humble obeisances.
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda
All glories to Your Vyāsa-pūjā!
I am a neophyte devotee and not qualified enough to glorify your transcendental qualities, but one thing I know for sure that in my lifetime I never seen or heard about any such merciful spiritual master as you are Guru Mahārāja.
You always shower your mercy on the fallen souls. You have initiated thousands of fallen souls and brought them on the path of Kṛṣṇa Consciousness already and continuing with same mission relentlessly. The compassion you have for entire humanity and taking the fallen souls back to Godhead, doesn’t even allow you to take rest even when your health condition is not good. You are so very committed to Śrīla Prabhupāda’s mission and taking his instructions to next level that you are always busy thinking about the ways how can you utilize all available material resources to fulfill the vision and mission of Śrīla Prabhupāda. I follow your day-to-day activities on your App installed on my phone and my mind bogles down seeing the sincerity and commitment from your side irrespective of whether your are fighting with Covid or undergoing treatment of any of your existing ailments. Sometimes even Medical Science fail to understand how you get energy to do so much in this feeble body condition. This clearly shows that you are so pious and blessed that Lord Gaurāṅga and Śrīla Prabhupāda themselves are with you and helping you fulfill their mission.
Unfortunate me, I couldn’t get an opportunity to see you till now, but I heard so many past times and your glories that my head bow down in your lotus feet. It’s my sincere desire to serve you and please you Guru Mahārāja, but then I realize that without purification it’s not possible. I really wish that I could come out of my false ego, insincerity, duplicity, undetermined and careless attitude so I can serve you Guru Mahārāja.
Guru Mahārāja please bless me and my family to understand the glories of Guru and Gaurāṅga and attentively concentrate on our chanting and spiritual services.
Your mercy and association is the only lifesaving fuel I have in this Kaliyuga, where we all are fully conditioned with material desires.
Guru Mahārāja, I see in you the peak of tolerance. I see in you the peak of compassion. I see in you sympathy and selflessness. Your empathy makes me a blade of grass.
O ocean of mercy when I will enjoy uninterrupted useful service unto your lotus feet.
Guru Mahārāja please help me understand and experience the value of gratitude to one’s spiritual master.
Guru Mahārāja please help me surrender unto your lotus feet making me an unremovable dust under your lotus feet.
Thank you, Guru Mahārāja.
Your aspiring servant
