Dear Gurudeva please accept my respectful obeisance’s unto your lotus feet on the auspicious day of yours 74th appearance day. All glories to you and all glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda.
In the honor of your Vyāsa-Pūjā, my family, me and the members of Ghala chakra from Mathurādeśa offer to you love, devotion, best wishes for your good health and spiritual cheerfulness.
We all are fortunate to have such a wonderful spiritual master like you, who has specially appeared to deliver countless fallen condition souls all over the world. I am very much thankful to you Guru Mahārāja for accepting me who is insignificant, giving shelter at your lotus feet and showering your mercy upon me my family & the devotee of Ghala Chakra. Really guru Mahārāja because of your causeless mercy I am on the right path to follow. your instruction and do small devotional service. I am very much proud to say that you are my Guru and spiritual father, who takes the utmost care of his disciples without caring own health.
You’re the one of very dear spiritual sons of Śrīla Prabhupāda. He said I went to your country with a mission and you all good souls were sent by Kṛṣṇa to me from that one of the good souls sent by Kṛṣṇa is your divine grace Gurudeva. Otherwise, how could you have shave your head within two-month time and join Iskcon full time? Several years later while discussing a difficult situation in Māyāpur Śrīla Prabhupāda remarked upon your name and you said to Śrīla Prabhupāda you gave me the name Jayapatākā, I hope that name comes true that there will be victory. And Śrīla Prabhupāda said it has already become so.
After that you have begun to render countless services to Iskcon and to Śrīla Prabhupāda. The first most important was the president of ISKCON Montreal. There you were engaged in the service of printing the books and dispatching to other ISKCON centers.
You have so expertise in traveling with mileage and least expenses possible. It shows when you flew from Montreal to India Calcutta for 48 hours. Also, after reaching Calcutta, you became an expert in Bengali. When Śrīla Prabhupāda came from the USA he asked if you would take sannyāsa and you replied yes, Prabhupāda whatever you like. It shows your full surrender to Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Here after His divine grace Śrīla Prabhupāda started giving you multiple countless services and you have accepted whatever he says. Most important service is to distribute 10,000 Big Books and 100000 small books. You are trying to fulfill his desire till date, day and night and without taking any rest in spite of having so much problem in your life. You have fully surrendered yourself in service of Guru and Gaurāṇga.
One time when you went to Śrīla Prabhupāda room he said that - I have given you the kingdom of God now develop it. You thought of it as a serious and at the same time humorous statement. After you have started many services like Nāmahaṭṭas, Nitāi Pada kamala Boat, Safari, food for life, Māyāpur Maṇḍala parikramā, you become chairman of Bhakti Vedanta Swami Charity trust. You become GBC for many places. You have started festival celebrations like Ratha Yātrā and other festivals in so many places.
You were successful in uniting the Sārasvata Gauḍīya family. Śrīla Prabhupāda confirmed in his letter that generally spiritual master comes from the eternal group of association of the lord. Also, Prabhupāda confirmed that You are the associate of Caitanya Mahāprabhu groups and Gaura-Nitāi rests in your heart who is Mahavadanyāya. Kṛpā ke sāgara haiṅ.
You are the preraṇā to your God brothers and sisters. You have started accepting the disciples all over the world giving your shelter to them taking responsibility to take them back to Godhead. Over more than 50 years you served Iskcon in various ways. You are taking full care of your disciples, you teach, guide, instruct them how to be serious in devotional services. Like when pilots fly, they always depend on the instruction of machinery. They never depend on humans, like when we are doing devotional service, we have to depend on Guru who is giving proper instruction. You are giving eternal shelter to your Disciples,
You are the representative of Lord Kṛṣṇa and Kṛṣṇa is taking care of your holiness but still you have to give credit to your disciples so you ask them to chant and pray for your better self. How humble, how kind of you.
Never blame anyone for your Sickness, simply tolerating so much pain over the last 13 years. On this auspicious day my family and me and our Ghala chakra devotees from Mathurādeśa beg at the lotus feet of Lord Caitanya, Lord Kṛṣṇa and Lord Narashima deva for your good health and spiritual blessing. Dear Gurudeva I am promising to you that I will try my best to preach Kṛṣṇa Consciousness, chant my prescribed round, follow four regulative principles and follow your instruction faithfully.
This is my last visa in Muscat I will be coming back to my hometown Pune in June. I have decided to preach in Villages to the farmers and field, workers in my village and nearby villages. I beg your mercy and more ideas form you I will be coming to visit in Māyāpur as soon as I come back for good.
I know I am a worthless insignificant servant and far away from your expectation. I, my family and our Ghala chakra Bhakta vṛnda beg for your mercy for spiritual advancement, preaching and to follow your instruction and be always under the shelter of the dust of your lotus feet.
Your insignificant servant,
