On this sacred day, I offer my respectful obeisances to the lotus feet of my spiritual father His Highness Jayapatākā Swami Guru Mahārāja.
nama oṁ viṣṇu-pādāya kṛṣṇa-preṣṭhāya bhū-tale
śrīmate jayapatāka svāmin iti nāmine
nama ācaryapādāya nitāi-kṛpā-pradāyine
gaura-kathā-dhāma-dāya nagara-grāma-tāriṇe
Respected Guru Mahārāja,
Please accept my humble obeisances at the dust of your lotus feet. All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda. All glories to your divine grace.
We are blessed to celebrate divine graces 74th appearance day. We completely depend upon your causeless mercy. On this auspicious day of your appearance, I would like to express a few words of appreciation for all the mercy that you have bestowed upon all fallen conditioned souls. I am attending your Caitanya-caritāmṛta class, but some days I will miss it. I am very grateful to you for giving a nice class. Guru Mahārāja, you are following the instructions so strictly given by His Divine Grace Śrīla Prabhupāda. I have read the book written about your past times from childhood and your spiritual journey, “From Milwaukee to Māyāpur”. From that book I could understand how sincere and dedicated to Śrīla Prabhupāda you are. How much you have suffered to bring up ISKCON to this level along with Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Praying to Śrīla Prabhupāda and Gaura Nitāi to give you proper health and to protect you always for uplifting fallen souls like me.
Now I am taking Bhakti vṛkṣa classes, preaching and doing other services. Guru Mahārāja, please bless me to do more services so that I can please you and Gaurāṅga.
Praying once again to Śrīla Prabhupāda and Gaur Nitāi and Paramparā to protect you always by giving good health to uplift fallen souls like me.
Your Spiritual Daughter
