Dear Gurudeva
Crores of daṇḍavata-praṇāmas unto your lotus feet.
“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”
Happy Kṛṣṇa Conscious Birthday dear father. I was ecstatic watching you get a Bhakti-vaibhava certificate. Inspite of your very busy schedule of meetings, travelling around the world and online classes, you have obtained the certificate.
Recently we had been to Kerala divya-deśam yatra for a week and was happy to see your pictures in many ISKCON centers. I felt my father is present everywhere.
I try to remember your instructions and implement them.
guru-mukha-padma-vākya, cittete koriyā aikya,
āra nā kariha mane āśā
śrī-guru-caraṇe rati, ei se uttama-gati,
ye prasāde pūre sarva āśā
Daily i pray to Lordships Śrī Rādhā Śyāmacandra that, let my dear father Jayapatākā Swami who is delivering so many fallen souls have a long and strong health. I chant extra japa and circumambulate tulasī for the same.
Few months ago, i became a widow. Please bless i may sincerely follow your instructions, let my daughter obtain a good devotee as husband and let my son become a brahmacārī. Please bless all devotees in Raichur to get required intelligence, strength, and protection to propagate Kṛṣṇa Bhakti enormously.
Your aspiring servant and daughter,
Śaśimukhī Sakhī Devī Dāsī
