My dear spiritual father Your Divine Grace Śrīla Jayapatākā Swami,
Please accept my respectful obeisances. All glories to your auspicious appearance day.
To name your many glorious activities and accomplishments is beyond my means. You have accomplished so much and so wonderfully that it must be a celebration and great satisfaction for Śrīla Prabhupāda and the ācāryas who preceded it to follow. For the Kṛṣṇa conscious world and the rest of the world so decrepit, this is the greatest blessing and salvation from doom. This development had been longed for by great Vaiṣṇavas like Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura. Lord Caitanya gave mankind the grace and His devotees and followers the tools to spread the glorious saṅkīrtana movement - You show us how it is done and what is possible. It was unthinkable, but because of the unsurpassed, unspeakable renunciations you took upon yourself, the miracle happened, and the movement got off to a great start. To the furthest corners of the world, to every little glimmer of devotion in a lost soul, You have brought Your mercy. The great miracle of a growing spiritual city (Māyāpur) with the Vedic Temple and much more is taking strong forms.
I pray that the devotees will do everything possible to protect this and to ensure that the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement in the world continues to spread unhindered. And I pray that there will be more and more of your wonderful disciples to relieve and ease many of your mounting responsibilities and duties.
Thank you for the special mercy in allowing me and giving me the ability to translate your wonderful books. I have always wished to make a great contribution to the spread of the saṅkīrtana movement, while being content with a small ministry for many years. Now my dream has come true. And I feel your love and protection, what is giving me strength.
All glory be to Your Divine Grace!
Your loving spiritual daughter,
Anuttama Rādhā Dāsī
