Beloved Gurudeva,
Please accept my most respectful obeisances on this most auspicious and merciful day of your appearance!
Gurudeva, you stand as a perfect example of a perfect devotee. Your devotion, devotional sentiments and services are sheer poetry. You are like a towering light guiding the people of Kali Yuga who are in utter darkness about their real identity.
Because of these irrefutable truths, it is very imperative that you live for many more years with us.
Day by day, it is becoming harder to reach out to the people of Kali who have made sense gratification as their only religion.
The demons are disturbed by this movement of Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and Srila Prabhupada, and so are trying their best to stop this movement and also cause harm to the devotees.
We need so much to keep our faith strong and undisturbed in this great war to establish the Yuga Avatara Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu as the most prominent Lord and shelter for this age.
Gurudeva, your surrender to the will of the Lord is mind boggling. Not once have you appealed to the Lord to free you from this ill health. Rather you go on relentlessly doing your devotional services with so much difficulty while also going through austere regimens to cure your body just to serve Srila Prabhupada better.
Devotees the world over are of course praying for your good health and recovery. Once when some devotees told you about seeing you walk normally in their dreams, you remarked that you will start walking when Krishna wants! This gives us hope to expect this miracle now, sooner than later.
We want it penned in history that just as Lord Narasimhadeva appeared to deliver His devotee Prahlada from all dangers, Lord Narasimhadeva manifested His presence by giving energy and long life to His pure devote HH Jayapataka Swami!
We as disciples realize more than ever now, the value of your mercy in saving us from being Kali chelas, and how much we must express our gratitude to you by being first of all committed in our Sadhana, services and preaching and in helping you in your mission, and also in cooperating with our god siblings as well as other devotees in ISKCON.
Gurudeva, this is our earnest appeal to you, and especially to Lord Krishna, if He so desires:We pray that you recover completely, be fully healthy and more active once again in your preaching and travelling!
We want to fight behind you to defeat the forces Kali and to establish Krishna Prema!To destroy all pride and cynicism, envy and hatred.
Certainly you, Srila Prabhuada and Nitai Gaura want only this!
There is certainly more awareness building up all over the world about how we need to unite together in our services to you. So many sincere JSSS programs are going on in different parts of the world. Disciples and followers are getting more committed to their Sadhana, services and preaching. Hope we can offer you a garland of devotees working cooperatively for your pleasure!
On this most blessed day, I humbly beg you to bless me , my husband Vijay Venugopal das and our sons Pradeep and Ananth to be fully charged up with your Divine energy to be useful instruments in your mission. Please protect us from all demoniac forces.
Please also bless all the devotees who we are trying to care, train and help in their services, on behalf of you.
Your spiritual daughter,
Prema Padmini dd
