Jayapataka Guru Maharaj has always been huge part of my life. Since childhood i was in Gulf( DOHA -QATAR) and our family was fortunate enough to get in association with iskcon devotees. The iskcon in Qatar is  KRISHNA KATHA DESH , there are around 3,000 devotees and more than 1000 Nama hathas are there. Everytime we would get the news that our dear guru maharaj is coming, we all were very excited to see guru maharaj and though its a muslim country , where public religious celebrations were banned still with strict precautions and security all the devotees used to assemble in a huge villa where guru maharaj used to arrive. Guru maharaj used to give lectures and give his blessings from his stick which he used to carry on . We used to have congrugational chanting and kirtans with him and different group leaders used to show with ppt what they have done so far and how much contributions have been made for the mayapur temple project.

Guru Maharaj has walked us through my family's crucial times like before my brother got into degree college we werent sure if him doing his btech in India was right ( Indeed it was right) and us getting settled in India(Bangalore )for good  for my edcation .During every stage of my higher education especially before competitive exams and those results , i was blessed to see and take darshan of guru  maharaj .Till today whenever i feel things are not going as they were and feel like there are obstacles on path , remembering the lord and taking the name of our JAYAPATAKA guru maharaj and Srila PRABHUPADA always made the obstacles go away. As our Guru maharaj's name , theres always jaya or victory .

Guru Maharaj , i have been chanting as much as possible and trying to daily chant minimum 16 rounds and sometimes those rounds go more especially when I'm in temple. I want your mercy to able to chant more rounds on daily basis and be a part of srila prabhapada and ur mission.By your mercy and all the devotees blessings , I'm now a 2nd year medical student studying in bangalore who's college is also in the same city and is hardly 10km from home. I aspire to get initiated by you  and i want to be always in devotional service and be in association with lord's dear devotees like you.My brother and me , our  routine is chanting, reading srimad bhagavatam and sad goswami astakham then starting our day .
