Hare Kṛṣṇa
My dear spiritual father His Holiness Jayapatākā Swami Guru Mahārāja,
I offer my respectful obeisances unto your lotus feet on the auspicious occasion of your 75th Vyāsa-pūjācelebration. All glories to your lotus feet! All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!
My dear spiritual father, it’s only by your causeless mercy I am able to practice spirituality daily. I am very indebted your causeless mercy to accept me as your disciple.
Dear father, last year you showed me how you reciprocate to the desires of your disciples. This was on 2nd Oct 2023 when you were in Bangalore and you were giving initiation at Narasiṁha Giridhārī Mandir temple. I had reached the temple early that to get a glimpse of you in person but then there was huge crowd and I was getting your darśana far away standing in the crowd. There were many of your sons and daughters who were standing very close to you and serving. Somewhere deep within my heart I had this hankering when will I get to look at so close and do some service. I left home by afternoon with some little disappointment. By evening I got a call from my mentor and he asked me if I can take up the night service for your stay, I was so excited and was so happy. That night would be the most most memorable day in my life Guru Mahārāja when I got the chance to stand next to you serving you dosas, putting your clothes for drying and then massaging your feet. I understood that day that when you have a spiritual desire it will be reciprocated for sure. The day next after that you visited the Bhūmī pūjā at the ISKCON Whitfield temple land at Ajagondanahalli and there too I got services to spend close to you and also serve all your servants.
Dear father, I have now started to give Gītā Course at one of the apartment complex and seeking your mercy that I follow your instructions and help building Bangalore a Kṛṣṇa Conscious City. I need your mercy. Please bless me so that I can follow your example in serving one’s spiritual master. I will be greatly favored if I can do an insignificant fraction of service to you that you perform to Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Please accept my humble apologies for all my mistakes Guru Mahārāja,
I’m placing all my prayers at your lotus feet and Kindly accept it.
Guru Mahārāja Ki Jai
Hare Kṛṣṇa
Your humble insignificant servant/son
