Dearest Spiritual Father, Srila Jayapataka Swami,
Please accept my most respectful obeisances at Your divine lotus feet, my secure shelter. All glories to Srila Prabhupada, Your heart and soul.
You are the Light of my life! You always impress me and awestruck me with Your behavior, surrender, humility and especially Your loving dealing with devotees. You are a super hero!! Fighting physical illness and insurmountable obstacles…. I am speechless when I think of what You have done in the past and what You are doing now!!! And with such a small brain I cannot really contemplate Your greatness, I am just stunned and I can only bow down to You and turn to see You as my very dear real father, full of love, which is saving me from the ocean of repeated birth and death and is still accepting my imperfect service. I pray to become qualified to cook for You properly, with BQ and all what is needed to make You happy. I failed and fail many times and what do I get from this cooking service that sometimes You allow me to do? Just bliss, an addictive bliss!!! And translating Your books is also addictive, Thank You for engaging me.
I feel Your care and presence always and I never ever felt abandoned, indeed in all the challenging times of my life You have come and uplifted me. You give me strength, confidence and I humbly thank Krsna for having sent You in my life, That’s the greatest fortune I ever received and despite being a conditioned fallen soul, this life has acquired a golden meaning having received the transcendental stamp to be one of Your fortunate disciples. I am very unqualified and you know it very well, but I have full faith that by Your mercy even an insect like me can see her heart transformed because of Your loving care and desire to take me back to Krsna’s lotus feet, as You do for every single disciple to whom endlessly give Your life.
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You.
Your grateful aspirant servant,
Akarsini Radhika Devi Dasi
