“Nama oṁ viṣṇu-pādāya kṛṣṇa-preṣṭhāya bhū-tale
śrīmate jayapatāka svāmin iti nāmine,
nama ācārya-pādāya nitāi-kripā-pradāyine
gaura-kathā-dhāma-dāya nagara-grāma-tāriṇe.”
O Gurudeva, Your Holiness Jayapatākā Swami Mahārāja!
Hare Kṛṣhṇa! Dandavat praṇām!!
Please accept my humble obeisances at Your Holiness' divine lotus feet. All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!
On this most auspicious occasion of Your Holiness' 76th Śrī Vyāsa Pūjā Mahotsava, I offer my deepest gratitude and heartfelt homage. Your Holiness is a true embodiment of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s compassion, tirelessly engaging in the divine mission of spreading Kṛṣṇa consciousness across the world. Your Holiness' unwavering dedication to Śrīla Prabhupāda’s instructions is a source of immense inspiration for countless devotees, including myself.
Gurudeva, my life was devoid of true meaning until Your Holiness’ causeless mercy showered upon me. Your Holiness has accepted me as your disciple, a fallen soul, and guided me on the path of devotional service. Through Your Holiness' teachings, I have come to realize the invaluable treasure of Kṛṣṇa consciousness and the purpose of life: to serve and love the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Śrī Kṛṣṇa, without material motives.
I am constantly amazed by Your Holiness' boundless energy and dedication despite the challenges Your Holiness faces. Your Holiness' divine presence is a living testimony to complete surrender and unwavering faith in the Lord’s service. Each word Your Holiness speaks, each instruction Your Holiness gives, carries the weight of divine wisdom, illuminating the hearts of all who hear them.
On this auspicious and divine occasion, I offer my humble obeisances with folded hands, enthusiastically praying for Your Holiness' good health and well-being. May Your Holiness graciously continue to guide and uplift countless souls like me, leading them to seek refuge at the most merciful lotus feet of Lord Gaurāṅga.
Your Holiness' insignificant servant,
Rādheswarī Gopī Devī Dāsī (Balarāma Deśa)
