Dear Gurudeva,
ei-bāro karuṇā koro vaiṣṇava gosāi
patita-pāvana tomā vine keho nāi
Please bestow upon me your mercy, there is no one as merciful as you.
I am very blissful to be part of the great occasion of Your 75th Vyāsa-pūjā celebrations.
I am very insignificant to glorify you. The three worlds are glorifying your divine activities. Yet I take this opportunity to glorify you as that’s the only way of purifying myself. Yearly one Vyāsa-pūjā homage is not enough, I should be writing every day a thank you note and gratitude book for you Guru Mahārāja. Everyday of our life is going on simply by your mercy and your prayers for all of us. I heard you always saying, I pray for all sīkṣā, dīkṣā disciples, its simply because of your prayers we all are sustaining. The amount of suffering which we have to undergo is being taken away simply by your prayers, you are simply providing us all possible opportunity for us to be engaged in Lord Caitanya's mission, yet I am so foolish and fallen I couldn’t grab these opportunities. I am simply holding an empty pot and every time failed to hold your mercy. Beacuse of my anarthas I am not able to grasp your mercy as I failed to understand your unlimited glories .
You are always vigilant for every conditioned soul progress towards their eternal home
You are always facilitating every soul to remind their forgotten relationship with Lord Kṛṣṇa
You are always absorbed in Lord Caitanya's līlā and helping us understand things that which are inconceivable.
You are always busy chanting the names of Kṛṣṇa following the instruction of Lord Caitanya kīrtanīyaḥ sadā hariḥ reminding us the holy name.
You are always finding good in ever single one of us, in spite of not having any quality at all
You are always absorbed in the śāstra and inspire to keep us in track of guru, sādhu and śāstra.
You are always have an eagle vision, seeing things far out for serving Śrīla Prabhupāda in the most best possible way.
Your every move is simply an inspiration for us to do nava vidha bhakti
I wonder how much Śrīla Prabhupāda would have been pleased with your unlimited efforts in your service for Him
I wonder what would be the world if Jayapatākā Swami would have been healthy travelling around the world 4 or 5 times a year
I wonder when would be that world where You will be roaring Lord Caitanya glories in every town and village.
I wonder how would be the days when we just run around you during your morning walks
I wonder how would be those days when we start our day watching You doing Narasiṁha Ārati in TOVP.
I wonder what would be the days when we would be doing our Japa sitting around you
I wonder what would be the seconds when you take every second of your time for the well-being of others
I wonder if Lord Kṛṣṇa bestows upon you a younger healthy body what would be the status of this universe,
This one universe would be directly taken back to godhead
I desire to qualify myself to serve you
I desire to chant the holy names offenselessly
I desire to always remember and never forget the unlimited service you are performing to please Kṛṣṇa.
I desire to be engaged in your mission
I desire to see You dear Gurudeva healthy walking around us and making us run for Lord Gaurāṅga.
I desire to be in Vṛndāvana one more time for your service
I desire to be in your group in the spiritual world, serving under you direction pleasing Rādhā Mādhava in the eternal home Śrī dhāma Māyāpur.
Eternally aspiring to be servant,
Rasapriya Gopikā devī dāsī, dīkṣā
