Hare Kṛṣṇa, His Holiness Jayapatākā Swami Guru Mahārāja, please accept my humble and respectable obeisances and All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Today On the auspicious occasion of Vyāsa-pūjā of Śrīla Guru Mahārāja, which is one of the most important events in my life and all the disciples’ life.
I am a fallen soul and struggling in material ocean. You have given me rebirth through harināma initiation last year on 20th march 2022 at H.G Śrīvallabha Prabhuji's residence by your cause less mercy. You were not able to get up for initiation ceremony in the morning due to fever but for devotee’s care, no matter how’s your health you got up in the evening and given initiation to 109+ devotees. I am so much grateful to you Śrīla Guru Mahārāja for connecting me to Śrī Caitanya Maha Prabhū's paramparā and i will never forget that day.
You have so many divine qualities. In your present health condition, even though so many bodily ailments you never give up your services to Śrīla Prabhupāda movement. His Grace Maha-varāha prabhuji had shared the incident that you had surgery at Rela hospital Chennai, you were in ICU, and after come up from sedation and you immediately asked Prabhuji to connect online for GBC meeting this shows your dedication and commitment to ISKCON and Śrīla Prabhupāda instructions. You have received Bhakti Vaibhava degree recently which is not at all required for you but to set an example to your disciples you did it and encourage all your disciples to do it. You have surrendered your life to your spiritual master to fulfil the mission of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Please shower mercy up on me to serve your lotus feet and ISKCON.
On this auspicious Vyāsa-pūjā celebration, I pray to Lord Śrī Rādhā Mādhava and Pañca-tattva and Lord Nṛsiṁhadeva shower mercy and give good health to Śrīla Guru Mahārāja so that you can connect millions of fallen souls to paramaparā and take them back to home back to Godhead.
Your insignificant servant,
Venugopala Śri Kṛṣṇa Dāsa
