Dear Gurumaharaj,
Hare Krsna,
Please accept my respectful obeisances at your lotus feet,
All glories to Srila Prabhupada,
All glories to you Gurumaharaj,
Nama Om Vishnupadaya Krsna prestaya bhutale,
Srimate Jayapataka swamin iti namine
Namah acharya padaya Nitai Krpa pradayine
Gaura katha Dhama daya nagara grama tharine
Gurumaharaj I am eternally grateful to you for your incredible mercy on me and my family, You gave Harinaam initiation to my elder daughter Gayatri on 5th December 2023 and gave her the sweet name….Gopika Radharani Devi Dasi. Like this countless souls in this world have benefitted beyond their wildest imaginations by getting this immortal science of Krsna consciousness from you.
Taking great efforts you have travelled the globe many times and brought the holy name across all continents and hundreds and thousands of souls got to know the science of krsna consciousness. Life transformed completely and the glimpse of the spiritual dimension is revealed little by little and all the souls are getting attracted more and more to Krsna.
You are engaging us in various services for the pleasure of Srila Prabhupada as per his instructions. The instructions of Srila Prabhupada are your guiding light, and with that light you are illuminating the world towards Krsna for a life of ever increasing bliss.
In 2008 the Iskcon world came to a stop hearing your health crisis, but within few months you came back on the battlefield, leading us all on the battle with Maya the mighty material energy of Krsna. Against insurmountable odds you are leading us by sitting in a wheelchair and traveling relentlessly snatching souls away from the snare of Maya and bringing them to the lotus feet of Krsna, no wonder Srila Prabhupada…named you Jayapataka…the victory flag of Iskcon.
The victory flag is flying high….in the form of innumerable temples your disciples have built around the world in various places, the innumerable number of people who got connected thru the Bhakti Vriksha system, hundreds and thousands of plates of prasadam being distributed daily in Sridham Mayapur and in various Iskcon temples and centers inspired by you, thousands of people got connected to Krsna consciousness thru the Namahatta preaching, Village preaching, Tribal area preaching in which thousands living in remote hilly areas of India are connected to Krsna, thousands of books distributed daily by your disciples, almost daily classes given by you on various topics especially Caitanya book compilation lectures, also by attending innumerable meetings almost daily you kept the victory flag flying high - even administratively.
Also the most difficult seva of conflict resolution is done by you to protect Iskcon society, which is more dear to you than your life, every drop of your blood is for the service of Srila Prabhupada. You are relentlessly trying to expand the mission and protect it too. One devotee was saying that you are like the Shiva of Iskcon - drinking the halahala poison and protecting the devotees from harm.
And the crest jewel of our movement the TOVP, you are nspiring the world towards building this most astonishing temple. But the most heart touching seva of all is that of giving shelter at your lotus feet to thousands of jivas by giving them Harinama diksha and literally saving them from this miserable cycle of birth and death. Who except you would be ready to take the karma of countless jivas and give them a chance to go back home back to godhead ? No one in living memory i believe.
Gurumaharaj on this most auspicious appearance day of yours we pray to Sri Sri Prahlad Narasimhadev and Srila Prabhupada to bestow you with good health and i personally pray to you to bestow me with enough intelligence so that i can fulfill your instructions to the best of my ability, perform my sadana in the right consciousness and never do any vaisnava aparadha.
Falling at your lotus feet for getting a drop of that love you have for Srila Prabhupada, may i too develop that same intensity of love for you Gurumaharaj.
Hare Krsna Gurumaharaj,
Your eternal servant,
From Krsna Katha Desh,
