All glories to His Divine Grace Śrīla Prabhupāda.
All glories to you Dearest Guru Mahārāja.
You are mesmerizing everyone across the globe with your unflinching service towards Kṛṣṇa and I am so much inspired by hearing some of your pastimes.
When Mahārāja is intensively traveling, he was asked in the airport why he was running around & trying so much, and how he could do it in severe health conditions. Then Mahārāja said I am a wounded soldier of Śrīla Prabhupāda but I am not out. Now I am physically a little bit down but I haven’t left the ground. Mahārāja is only able to do it because his heart, mind & all the senses are dedicated towards Kṛṣṇa’s Lotus feet so he is above the physical platform. Otherwise, the pain that Mahārāja is going through is unimaginable.
Despite undergoing medical surgeries & transplants, Mahārāja you have been doing an enormous amount of preaching & traveling. Mahavaraha Prabhu said that Jayapatākā Swamy Mahārāja traveled double after the transplant and no normal person can do that. One should have substantial spiritual strength even to do that. When the transplant happened, Mahārāja was in Chennai for one & half weeks Mahārāja missed chanting of rounds. He asked Mahā Varāha Prabhu how many rounds he missed & Mahā Varāha Prabhu gave the count. One disciple of Mahārāja said that not only did Mahārāja make up for the count that he missed but he chanted extra 500 rounds. But for me that 16 rounds of qualitative chanting is becoming a big challenge.
On this auspicious occasion, I beg your blessings that I can concentrate on chanting 16 rounds even more qualitatively, contribute more service at your lotus feet, and also help in spreading the message of Lord Caitanya so that I can always stay protected under your divine shelter and guidance of my sīkṣā gurus.
I feel like the most fortunate person in the world to become your servant.
Your Humble Servant
Jaya
