Dear Most Respected HH Jayapataka Swami Guru Maharaja
Please accept my most humble obeisances unto the dust of your divine lotus feet on this most auspicious day of your divine appearance.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada
All glories to Your Holiness
His Divine Grace Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, revealed the timeless science of Krsna consciousness to the entire world. Following the footsteps of his spiritual master, You are also delivering the very same message of Vyasadeva to the fallen conditioned souls. This is the commitment of all exalted masters in this line. You are the eternal associate of Srila Prabhupada. As a dedicated disciple of Srila Prabhupada, Maharaja, You have taken Srila Prabhupada’s instructions to your heart and soul, you have fulfilled those instructions so expertly in spite of all difficulties. As valiant commander of the army of Srila Prabhupada, you are fearlessly marching forward and attacking the army of Kali. In spite of so many counter attacks by Kali in the form of your severe health issues, he cannot stop you. There is no power in the world who can stop you from spreading Krishna consciousness. Maharaja with your own example you are teaching the entire world how much dedicated and serious we should be for spreading the mission of Lord Caitanya Maharaprabhu. Maharaja, I humbly beg for a drop of your mercy by which I can develop a tinge of this dedication to Srila Prabhupada.
Maharaja from the initial days of my Krishna consciousness, you are guiding and taking care of me. I remember when we were in Mayapur, you were constantly guiding us and engaging us in different ways in different services. Even after we came to Ujjain, you did not deprive us from your unconditional mercy. After the departure of our Guru Maharaja, HH Bhakti Charu Swami Maharaja, you were one of the first devotees to come forward to give us shelter and support. More than us, you were feeling the separation from Guru Maharaja. I heard you could not sleep for many nights. Still you gave us your love, never let us feel alone in his absence, and always protected us from all possible dangers. The love and care which we get from you and your disciples is very inspiring and heart touching.
Maharaja, we are very grateful to you for giving shelter to many devotees from Ujjain by giving them initiation. We are indebted to you for the unlimited mercy you are showering on all of us.
Maharaja, at times when you manifest your ill health pastimes, the devotees become so anxious about you. Devotees in Ujjain regularly pray for your good health and quick recovery. Maharaja, we want your guidance and mercy for many-many years to come. Please bless us with this blessing.
Jay Lord Gauranga.
Thank you very much.
Your unqualified servant,
Bhakti Prema Swami
