My dear Spiritual Father Jayapatākā Swami
please accept my most respectful obeisances, all glories unto your lotus feet.
By the unlimited and unconditional mercy of Lord Gaurasundara, this planet Earth got the blessing to receive someone like Your Grace. People of the world is always looking for a Superman, a Super Hero that can save them from their miseries. You are showing us that salvation comes day by day, effort after effort, with determination plus determination plus determination, by enthusiasm - unlimited enthusiasm! by unimaginable humility, tolerance, seriousness, love for Guru and so much more. There’s no magic wand, there is only effort, determination and Kṛṣṇa’s mercy. Your Grace could have surely used a magic wand, but you are showing us the way, because this world is not a playground, and most of the time we feel helpless and hopeless and we need guidance and Your Grace is a perfect and loving guide.
Thank you for being my Hero. Your Grace is a miracle to see, to think, to hear, everything we can connect with you show us a miracle.
Thank you for accepting such a tiny and unqualified daughter, that always commits mistakes without ever learning. Thank you for your tolerance and mercy toward me.
Your foolish daughter
