Gandi Pavani (Kharagpur - India)

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

I offer my respectful obeisances to His Divine Grace Śrīla Jayapatākā Swami Mahārāja, who is very dear to Lord Kṛṣṇa, having taken shelter at His lotus feet.

I offer my respectful obeisances unto His Divine Grace Śrīla Jayapatākā Swami Mahārāja, who is dedicated to serving the desires, instructions, and lotus feet of His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda, and of the previous ācāryas.

He is freely bestowing the mercy of Nityānanda Prabhu, and distributing the glories of the transcendental pastimes, instructions, and abode of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, He is preaching Kṛṣṇa consciousness to the inhabitants of both villages and towns, thus delivering them from the conditioned material life.

Hare Kṛṣṇa dear Guru Mahārāja please accept my respectful obesiances.

All glories to His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Śrīla Prabhupāda! All glories to you Śrīla Gurudeva!

Dear Guru Mahārāja,

Today on the occasion of your auspicious appearance day I pray to Śrī Śrī Prahlāda Narasiṁhadeva, Śrī Śrī Pañca-tattva, Śrī Śrī Rādhā-Mādhava Aṣṭa-sakhi Vṛnda and Śrīla Prabhupāda for you good health. I do not have any qualifications to glorify you but thank-you so much for being kind to me and giving me this opportunity.

I am very grateful to you for giving me shelter at your lotus feet. Neither do I have any creativity nor do I render any services that I can tell you about. Guru Mahārāja the only thing I can tell you is that when I was completely devastated and was unable to carryout my duties and I thought that everything is over now and no one can save me. When I lost all hopes, then you appeared like a ray of sunlight. You are truly the mercy of Lord Nityānanda. I committed so many offenses at your lotus feet but still you are constantly giving me opportunities to improve myself. I always thought that I had made a big mistake by taking shelter so quickly. But I was wrong because whatever you think for your disciple is always right. Today I really, really want to change myself completely for you and Śrīla Prabhupāda. I want to pray to you that please provide me with spiritual strength so that I can serve you and Prabhupāda and follow all your divine instructions.

I remember that in one of your quotes you said that we should always think that we need mercy because this māyā-śakti is very strong and indeed it is. This reminds me to pray each time before doing anything and also I started to pray to Tulasī Mahārāṇī and lord Nityānanda for you. I know that you always offers a rose to Śrīla Prabhupāda that is why me and my mother are also offering a rose on behalf of you to Śrīla Prabhupāda. At last, I only want to say you that, now even if you don’t want to give me initiation it’s fine but I will always be yours. You are my Guru Mahārāja and I will always serve you as your servant.

Your sheltered disciple,

Gandi Pavani from West Bengal
