Hare Kṛṣṇa dear Guru Mahārāja,
Pls accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to guru and Gaurāṅga
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda
All glories to you.
I am very fortunate to submit my vyāsa-pūjā offering at your lotus feet.
By your mercy I am trying to do my chanting and other devotional services. Even though you have around 50000 Dīkṣā disciples around the world, me, your most insignificant spiritual daughter have always felt your presence and loving caring hands in everything I do. Because of your compassion and mercy, You have a massive popularity Not only in ISKCON but other sects like shri vaiṣṇavas etc.
The wealthy as well as economically challenged populace consider themselves fortunate even if they happen to get a chance to see you. Some may wonder what makes even the general public so attractive to Guru Mahārāja? The answer is you always walk your talk.
Guru Mahārāja, you are undoubtedly a saint of the highest order sent by Lord Chaitanya to reclaim the fallen souls to bring them back to their eternal home.
Indeed, it wouldn't be an overstatement to say that you are an embodiment of endless inspiration. That is what makes you the guru of nearly 50000 initiated disciples with unknown number of spiritual seekers waiting to be blessed by you.
You, A staunch follower of your spiritual master, Śrīla Prabhupāda, you are an icon of unwavering determination. In order to spread the Holy names of Lord Chaitanya in every corner of the world, you took up the challenge of travelling extensively in all corners of the world, against all odds. In last 50yrs of an untiring preaching spree, you have traversed around the globe back and forth for roughly 100+ times.
One thing that cannot go noticed is, wherever you go, you attract massive crowds,. Your contribution to the initial days and to the present day ISKCON is enormous. You are a proven upholder of gauḍīya vaiṣṇava siddhānta and a protector of ISKCON in many ways. You have written number of books on vaiṣṇava philosophy elucidating the teachers of the previous vaiṣṇava Achar acharyas. Through nāmahaṭṭa and Bhakti Vṛkṣa programs you are steadily transforming the world.
Lord Kṛṣṇa often uses His pure devotees to set examples in the material world. ŚrīlaPrabhupāda's struggle to establish the worldwide society for kṛṣṇa consciousness is a recent example. Despite the health issues you returned to the preaching field and continued to inspire us. This is the quality of a Mahā bhāgavata vaiṣṇava.
I am very very fortunate to be the desciple of such a elevated devotee HH Jayapatākā swami Guru Mahārāja. With a small thanks note to you on this most auspicious vyāsa-pūjā, i would like to end this offering at your lotus feet. I humbly pray you to Pls keep me protected under your wings always.
Thank you, Guru Mahārāja.
Hare Kṛṣṇa.
