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-pūjā celebration. All glories to your lotus feet! All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda! I really admire the devotion, dedication, passion that you show us every day. You face so many challenges everyday, but you are still very strong to follow the instructions of your Spiritual Master our founder-ācārya His Divine Grace A. C Bhaktivedant Swami Śrīla Prabhupāda but I’m such fallen soul and I struggle to keep up your instructions. When I hear the updates on how you make each and every opportunity to spread Kṛṣṇã consciousness even when you are undergoing a treatment in a hospital throws me down and I feel that I’m more worse than Jagāi Mādhāi, It is just because of your mercy I’m still able to practice Kṛṣṇa consciousness and follow little of your instructions and it is again your mercy you gave me shelter at your lotus feet.
My dear spiritual father, I am very indebted your causeless mercy to accept me as your disciple.
Please shed your mercy upon me so that I take up the initiation from you soon.
I pray to their Lordships Śrī Śrī Rādhā Mādana-mohana, Śrīmān Mahāprabhu and Lord Śrī Narasiṁhadeva for your good health and success of your outreach programs for the pleasure of your beloved, Śrīla Prabhupāda, may Lord bless you very immensely this day Gurudeva and protect you from all odds.
Begging for your blessings on this auspicious day.
Yours Insignificant Servant,
