Hare Kṛṣṇa our beloved and most respected Jayapatākā Swami Mahārāja,
Please accept our humble obeisances on this auspicious occasion of your 75th Vyāsapūjā.
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda.
We are so very grateful that you kindly included us in the joyous celebration of the installation of Mahāprabhu’s lotus feet at Hare Kṛṣṇa land Juhu.
It’s true indeed that we receive the mercy of the Lord through His pure devotees.
You are exemplary in fulfilling Śrīla Prabhupāda’s orders and implicit in those orders is the service to your Parama guru Śrīla Bhakti Siddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura Mahārāja and our paramparā. This is most glorious!
Mahārāja, you are the epitome of mercy. You never fail to bless us with the maha Abhiṣeka oil of Lord Narasiṁhadeva and the Mahāprasāda garlands of Their Lordships no matter what the circumstances. We feel most blessed in your presence.
I would be stating the obvious when I say that you exemplify that physical pain and challenges are no match to your indefatigable self. What touches the heart are your sweet personal dealings.
My dear father left his body around Śrī Rāma Navami and I was especially remembering your gracious hospitality during my parents visit to Māyāpur.
They felt indebted that you personally escorted us on the boat to visit Śrīla Bhakti Vinoda Ṭhākura’s home. We all felt most fortunate.
From great feats to small personal exchanges like this are most endearing to us.
We pray that you lead us to the completion of the glorious TOVP.
Thank you for your enlivening presence at the most wonderful Śrī Narasimhadeva Festival at the TOVP.
We beg to always remain grateful at your lotus feet…
Your humble servants,
Ambarīṣa Dāsa and Svāhā Dāsī
