Vyāsa-pūjā
2020

Dear Śrīla Ācāryapāda,

On this transcendentally auspicious day of appearance, myself and my wife, your daughter Mālinī devī dāsī offer our humble obeisances again and again.

Early eighties when you were taking me with you in your travelling programmes to train me up I learnt what austerity and compassion are.

You have always been guiding me and protecting my creeper of devotion from gross and subtle dangers, all these years... It is foolish and impudent to try express my indebtedness and gratitude, for all that you are magnanimously showering on me:

I am just another ORPHAN like Oliver (missing that ocean of mercy, our Śrīla Prabhupāda), revolting and praying to you:

"Śrīla Ācāryapāda, CAN I HAVE SOME MORE?"
All glories to you! All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!!!

Always your servant,
Ātmatattva dāsa and Mālinī devī dāsī

My dear godbrother Jayapatākā Mahārāja,

Please accept my most humble obeisances. All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda.

On this very auspicious day of your appearance I was remembering all the wonderful memories that I have. I was so fortunate to have you as my leader from the time in joined in Māyāpur. You are such a wonderful example of dedication and devotion to Śrīla Prabhupāda! For the sake of your love for Śrīla Prabhupāda you sacrificed everything that your wealthy parents and your wealthy nation offered to you and accepted the life of acute austerity in the remote village of Māyāpur in India.

I saw how you struggled those day to get the funds to feed us all in Māyāpur. I saw you practically beg, sometimes scream and some other times even fight to get the money from the person who had the responsibility to provide for Māyāpur as the GBC those days. You did all that for our sake.

It was also such a wonderful experience to go out with you to different places in Bengal to distribute Śrīla Prabhupāda’s books, make life members and have wonderful programs in the evening where hundreds of people used to come to listen to you speaking about Kṛṣṇa in your beautiful Bengali.

In spite of so many apparent difficulties, our days in Māyāpur were so full of joy, because you were there to lead us. Today those days are so far away, yet in my memory, they are so vivid with fond remembrance.

Now, as I am writing this offering to you as some humble glorification of yourself, I feel your loving embrace, and through that I feel the warmth of your heart.

Please accept my most humble obeisances at your lotus feet. Please bless me that I can continue to serve Śrīla Prabhupāda and his mission, with similar love, determination and dedication you display to His Divine Grace.

Your indebted servant eternally,

Bhakti Cāru Swami

Hare Kṛṣṇa.

Please accept my obeisances. All glories to Prabhupāda.

I feel fortunate to be here in Māyāpur at this auspicious time of the vyāsa-pūjā festival of His Holiness Śrīla Jayapatākā Swami Mahārāja.

Mahārāja has been serving here in this holy place for more than fifty years and he has remained fixed in this most important service to Iskcon and to Śrīla Prabhupāda. As Prabhupāda was always thinking about the development of Māyāpur in the same way Jayapatākā Mahārāja is always concerned to see the  Māyāpur project develop.  He has inspired many devotees to  come and reside in Māyāpur and throughout the years he has put his life and heart into Māyāpur. 

The most amazing thing is that even despite life threatening health conditions he does not waver from his duties. `Relentlessly he continues to give discourses every day guiding and inspiring all of the members of Prabhupāda's family to do the same.  He continues to attend the management meetings and takes interest in all the matters of the community.

His tireless efforts in propagating the glories of ISKCON and Prabhupāda was greatly appreciated by Tamāla Kṛṣṇa Goswami.  He saw how Jauypataka Mahārāja was respected not just in his Māyāpur but by the Hindu community all over the world. He is truely a great ācārya and I feel very fortunate just to be able to take the dust from his lotus feet and take it on my head. All glories to Śrīla Jayapatākā Swami Mahārāja. 

Once before in Māyāpur during this occasion I told how in China there is a blessing given to the Emperor that he should live for ten thousand years. Mahārāja on hearing this he said that if he can live that long then he can take full advantage of the Golden Age in Kali-yuga to push on Lord Caitanya's movement. Therefore let us all pray that he can continue to lead and inspire the members of this movement. We are very much in need of his presence not just for ten thousand years but eternally.

With best wishes,
Bhakti Vigna Vināśa Narasiṁha Swami

I offer my joyful congratulations to my dear Godbrother Śrīla Jayapatākā Swami on the glorious occasion of his Vyāsa-pūjā. Jayapatākā Swami has shown the world, and future generatons, a unique and astonishing example of dedication to the preaching mission of Lord Caitanya. He has taught all of us how to serve the Lord with power and devotion that comes straight from the soul.

I am also especially grateful for the support that he has offered me personally. In times when many did not understand what I was doing, he understood and encouraged me. For this, I will always be grateful. I wish His Holiness every happiness and good fortune in Krishna consciousness.

His servant,
Hṛdayānanda dāsa Goswami

Daṇḍavat prāṇāṁs. Śrīla Prabhupāda ki jaya.

Usually, I get the opportunity to wish you happy appearance day in person, but let this be my virtual greeting.

Thank you for all of your service to Śrīla Prabhupāda. We are fortunate to have you with us here in Māyāpur during this critical time.

May you give us many more years of your invaluable association.

Your servant, 
Pañca-ratna dāsa

ALL GLORIES TO ŚRĪLA JAYAPATĀKĀ SWAMI MAHĀRĀJA ON HIS 71st VYASPUJA

In short, a unique, amazing and transcendental personality in ISKCON and Māyāpur. I feel blessed by his association because he was so much blessed by the association and recognition showered upon him by Śrīla Prabhupāda—just read and study all the letters written to him by Śrīla Prabhupāda and you will understand his spiritual worth. He is Śrīla Prabhupāda’s first and chosen man in Māyāpur, and I don’t have to tell you that his name, Jayapatākā, is synonymous with the name, Māyāpur, throughout the world.

On Rādhāṣṭamī, 1970, Jayapatākā Swami received Sannyāsa from Śrīla Prabhupāda. That’s a long time ago! He’s the longest standing Sannyāsī in ISKCON and makes for an unprecedented package of spiritual power, strength and determination. I have personally experienced his Determination on numerous occasions, and when he is fixed on an idea or action God help anyone who gets in his way! He will relentlessly pursue his objective through all and any devotional means. He is a Nuclear Bomb of Determination in his service to Śrīla Prabhupāda. 

Another of his numerous spiritual qualities is his, by now famous, thinking out of the box acumen. He can come up with ideas and concepts to confound and astonish any intelligent person. And you will be totally at a loss of words or capacity to react, what to speak of trying to defeat him! He is truly a Maharathi of ISKCON, and if you want to present or suggest something to him, you better have done your homework and have your act together! He is a Thinker for Krishna Extraordinaire.

We all pray to Śrīla Prabhupāda, Śrī Śrī Rādhā Mādhava, Pañca-tattva and Lord Narasiṁhadeva for the good health and very long life of Śrīla Jayapatākā Mahārāja. 

Your worthless servant,
Śatadhanya dāsa

My Dearest Godbrother Srila Jayapataka Maharaja,

Prakrta-Sahajiyas A class of materialistically tainted neophyte devotees, were repeatedly condemned by His Divine Grace Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Srasvati Thakura

Famous for the preaching style called ‘the chopping technique” appears ruthless in his treatment of defending the most sacred philosophy in the universe – pure devotional service that follows in the footsteps of Srila Rupa Goswami  

Following in his Spiritual Masters footsteps Srila Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada fearlessly presents the accurate siddhanta of the rupanuga Vaisnavas . Fortunately for us the disciples of A.C Bhaktivedanta Srila Prabhupada  it is by the Mercy and Humility of Our Spiritual Master and his pure instructions, exactly how to purify our existence and with genuine determination that may we realise the essence of suddha-bhakti .

 In the PRAKRTA RASA SATA DUSINI…verse 2 …Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakur states

“There can never be any difference between the explanations of the Bonafide spiritual master and the teachings of the Mahajanas. The pure spiritual master never puts thorn like deterrents on the path of ones execution of practical devotional service (sadhana).

“The True disciples never desire to ask their spiritual master for instructions regarding material mellows. And the genuine spiritual master never gives his disciples any such material mellows, which are devoid of rati, transcendental loving attachment to the Lord”

Thus is the mood of Srila Jayapataka Maharaja, his exemplary example and devotion to Our Beloved Srila Prabhupada can never be underestimated, his determination to continue the mission of Our Beloved Guru, the Love, Care and Compassion he shows to everyone is not only moving to watch but Inspirational and beyond understanding, so on this Auspicious Day of your 71^st Vyasa Puja

May I offer you my full Dandavata’s and Respects yours in service your God sister,

Śuklā dāsī

His Holiness Śrīla Jayapatākā Swami Mahārāja displays exemplary guru-bhakti. Guru is not an individual. Guru is a tattva - absolute truth. Guru actually indicates the members of the entire paramparā. Śrīla Jayapatākā Mahārāja’s guru-bhakti is really touching my heart. Śrīla Jayapatākā Mahārāja is trying to fulfill whatever orders he got from His Divine Grace Śrīla Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda.

Śrīla Jayapatākā Mahārāja wrote to me last year, "It was the desire of Śrīla Prabhupāda Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Gosvāmī Ṭhākura that all of his descendants work cooperatively together to preach the divine message of Rūpa and Raghunātha. During his final days on this planet, my gurudeva, Śrīla A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda, instructed me to unite all of the descendants of Śrīla Prabhupāda Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Gosvāmī Ṭhākura. My gurudeva established the Bhaktivedanta Swami Charity Trust to also help in fulfilling this purpose of unification.”

In order to fulfill his gurudeva’s desire, Śrīla Jayapatākā Mahārāja is trying his best to fulfill this order even though his physical condition is giving
him obstacles in moving and doing it personally. However, he is sending his favorite disciples to every Gauḍīya Maṭha to bring everyone together in order to fulfill Śrīla Prabhupāda Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Gosvāmī Ṭhākura’s and Śrīla Bhaktivedanta Swami Mahārāja’s last will.

The main goal of the vaishnavas is to constantly chant the holy names with humility, extreme tolerance, freedom from the desire for mundane name, fame, and recognition, while simultaneously giving due respect to everyone. Śrīla Jayapatākā Mahārāja, in order to fulfill the qualities of being a vaiṣṇava, is following Śrīla Bhaktivedanta Swami Mahārāja, Śrīla Prabhupāda Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Goswami Ṭhākura as well as the other disciples of Śrīla Prabhupāda Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Gosvāmī Ṭhākura.

I heard from Śrīla Jayapatākā Mahārāja that when he was a brahmacārī and stayed in Kolkata’s Śrī Caitanya Gauḍīya Maṭha, my gurudeva, Śrīla Bhakti Pramode Purī Gosvāmī Ṭhākura, had requested him to bring flat rice and yogurt (cida-dahi) when his stomach was upset; at that time, Śrīla Jayapatākā Mahārāja happily brought the flat rice and yogurt. Over the last few years, I saw that although he is physically not fit to attend any program, he still attends our Guru Mahārāja’s disappearance program. Even this year, he sent a voice recording from England which was played at the disappearance festival in Māyāpur. Even on 23rd November 1999, Śrīla Jayapatākā Mahārāja came to our Māyāpur temple while my gurudeva was being put into samādhi.

All of these activities prove that he is trying to fulfill the desire of the previous teachers (guru-varga) to keep everyone united. ISKCON is a big society. Although it is a challenge for ISKCON to keep amicable relations with the various Gauḍīya Maṭhas, Śrīla Jayapatākā Mahārāja is still trying his best. This is very admirable. 

I am praying to Prema-purusottama Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya Mahāprabhu from the bottom of my heart for curing Śrīla Jayapatākā Maharaj's obstacles and that he continues this service mood for the rest of his life. Also, I am begging Śrīla Jayapatākā Mahārāja to bestow his blessings to me for spreading the loving mission of Lord Caitanya with purity and amicable relations with all the different units of Mahāprabhu’s mission around the world for the rest of my life. I hope that Mahārāja will mercifully fulfill my desire.

Haribol.

Yours in the Service of Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya Mahāprabhu's Mission,

B.B.Bodhayan
Śrī Gopīnātha Gauḍīya Maṭha (President)

Dear Maharaja,

Please accept my most humble obeisances unto the dust of your divine lotus feet
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
All glories to Your Holiness!
Before attempting to glorify you I beg forgiveness unto your lotus feet. I am simply doing it for my own purification.

Srila Prabhupada once commented that Krsna is already glorified, however, He is more pleased when His devotees are glorified. Maharaja, the divine presence of pure devotees like Your Holiness is holding the planet intact else it would have long back been sunk into rasatala on account of being overburdened by the sinful reactions of today’s godless civilization. If you didn't come what would have happened to this world?

It is said that pure devotees of the Lord are more powerful than the waters of the sacred river Ganges. One can derive spiritual benefit only from prolonged use of the Ganges waters. But personalities like you have sanctified millions of conditioned souls like me. If you didn't come what would have happened to me?

Whatever you do Maharaja, inspires everyone to surrender to Srila Prabhupada. By seeing your exemplary activities everyone derives a lot of faith in the potency of the process of devotional service. If you didn't come what would have happened to us?

Srila Devakinandan Dasa Thakura has sung that the devotees of Lord Caitanya are so powerful that each one of them can deliver a universe. We can see is practically how millions of people are getting delivered by your mercy. If you didn't come what would have happened to ISKCON?

My humble request in your lotus feet is to kindly give me a chance to dance with you in the TOVP!
 

On this most auspicious day of your divine appearance, we beg for your causeless mercy so that we can fully surrender ourselves to Srila Prabhupada’s lotus feet following in the footsteps of pure devotees like Your Holiness.

Your humble servant,
Bhakti Prema Swami

Dearest Guru Mahārāja,

Please accept my respectful obeisances at the dust of your lotus feet, All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda! All glories to your lotus feet who like to constantly move the terrain of the globe!

On this most auspicious day I beg you to be merciful to me as I hold your lotus feet and beg pardon for offences committed knowingly and unknowingly to you.  I am actually a vain man, who got attracted to Śrīla Prabhupāda s movement through his books and prasāda. Although I read his books and teach the contents, I see you as a living moving example of the devotee described in those books. For you, devotional service is very natural, and you are at home with it. You are not a sādhaka, but a highly experienced deep vaiṣṇava from the stock of Mahāprabhu’s associates, who is making himself available to one and all with the best of simple demeanors to make it easy for them to surrender.  Your simplicity is not ordinary and superficial, it is deep!

Your Divine Grace described Śrīla Prabhupāda as the happiest person you had ever seen and that his eyes were always moist with the ecstasy of Krishna Consciousness within. Dear Guru Mahārāja, coming in the same line, we see you are always enthusiastic and happy. The world of ISKCON devotees have seen you for long fight any negativity and come out successful to continue to serve under any circumstance.  You told me once that Śrīla Prabhupāda told one of his moody disciples "I order you to be happy in Kṛṣṇa Consciousness" Thank you for modelling this determination. It’s very inspiring.

His Holiness Janananda Mahārāja once committed an offering to you saying you are ‘light years ahead in preaching’! Your sense of outreach and the compassion you feel deeply is reflected in your tireless preaching efforts and brilliant strategies to crack open māyā’s illusion and reach out for people of this world. I have closely followed the birth of the congregation effort in ISKCON in those years and subsequently the cell program, which is now the ubiquitous Bhakti-vṛkṣa program, which have been an erupting volcano of outreach expansion in ISKCON.

I peeped into one of your letters to Śrīla Prabhupāda and his reply to you in the early years while I was in Māyāpur to help you with the Samādhi constructions. There you had complained about constant restlessness in you. Śrīla Prabhupāda replied that it was a sign of ecstasy in Kṛṣṇa Consciousness!

In another note he said that if people hear your chanting of Hare Kṛṣṇa, they will be liberated!

No wonder that Śrīla Prabhupāda has given you a host of services to accomplish which you have valiantly executed in the face of many challenges.

On this most auspicious day of your 71 st appearance and in the year of 50 years of your successful Sannyāsa life,

* I beg your pardon and mercy for my wrong doings, my offences (knowingly and unknowingly committed)

* Blessings to quickly finish the Projects given to me by Your Divine Grace in my zone and expand the preaching successfully

* blessings for all the devotees who help in my zone of service, with enthusiasm and cooperation as a community or team.

I remain,

Your lowly servant,

Bhakti Vinoda Swami

Dearest Guru Mahārāj,

Please accept my prostated obeisances in the dust of your sankirtan feet. All glories to Śrīla Prabhupada!

My goodness another year has passed and what chaotic times we live in as we see the pages of the Bhāgavatam come to light, regarding this age of quarrel and hypocrisy, where viral affections, corrupt governments, and fruits and roots become actual concerns in survival. These become a testing ground for the dutiful spiritual followers, to imbibe and guide others in eternal principles given to us by the very same great scripture. The Lord is most merciful to give us the book Bhāgavat and the person Bhāgavat.

For us you are that Book Bhāgavat Autocrat, who is simply repeating the instructions given to us by Śrīla Prabhupada, directing us out of the material into the spiritual. From your example, the difficulties that you have endured, demonstrate how to deal with and navigate within these surreal material surroundings through unwavering service to the unworldly and heartfelt dedication to the will of Śrīla Prabhupada.

As you have overcome the obstacles; the building of Śrīdām Mayapur, wide spread book distribution, the puzzle towards ‘make sense’ congregational preaching, extensive travel, reconfirming the Gauḍīya siddhānta legacies, the preservation and protection of the dhama līlāstans, a most challenging heart condition including the complete replacement of two organs, the acceptance of 50,000 disciples,  regulated preaching through video pod casts, and what to speak of the completion of 50 years as a sannyasi!!! There are so many tests coming from the material, but you are that ‘Jayapataka’, our victory flag in parampara transcending all these examinations.

What else can we expect from one who Śrīla Prabhupada indicated as an eternal associate of Śrī Caitanya. You are facilitating a large boat in seva allowing so many on board. What a blessing upon us, and what Mercy awaits those who follow you in every capacity to extend that mercy. This is a parampara, a heart connection that goes beyond the booby traps or distractions of this present realm.

You once said to me, “When the disciple goes back to Godhead, the spiritual master introduces that disciple to Kṛṣṇa and from that point onwards becomes an ‘old acquaintance’.”

Dearest Guru Mahārāj thank you, thank you, thank you, for being there for all of us and please empower us to serve you nicely and encourage others to so the same; please allow us that relation which will never go away.

Your most unworthy aspiring servant,

Bhaktisiddhānta Swami

Dear most Jayapataka Swami Maharaj,

Please accept my humble obeisances.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

All glories to you, Gurumaharaj, on this very auspicious appearance day.  I bow down unto your lotus feet and seek your blessings.

I lived in Mayapur for a year and in that time searched for a guru. I prayed daily to the deities to guide me.  It was the boat festival in Mayapur when I was praying to Prabhupada in His samadhi, asking Him to give me a sign of whom to take shelter from, when the doors closed and the security brought Your holiness in. You entered to take darshan right in front of me as I was facing Prabhupada.  My prayers were answered. It was an ecstatic moment as I stood there savoring that precious moment. Thereafter I was privileged to have taken shelter from your Holiness.  I had your association while living in the dham. I taught at Sri Mayapur International school and was fortunate to have been connected with you, especially during the Panihatti festival and Your Vyasa Puja. I also attended your classes on the rooftop regularly. I hope to return to Mayapur soon to serve You. At the moment I am in South Africa. I was about to leave to New Zealand, Auckland, (where my son lives), when all flights were cancelled due to the coronavirus. I am looking after my parents during this trying time.

  I am very privileged in this life time to have had your association. You have been so merciful that you sacrificed and dedicated your entire life for the welfare of us, fallen souls. You are a great inspiration to me.  You have changed my life by bringing me faith and hope. You have taught me how to love Krsna, how to serve and be humble. Without your mercy I cannot imagine where I would be.

I am very grateful for all the sacrifices that you have made and all the difficulties that you went through to spread Krsna Consciousness. I pray to Gauranga Mahaprabhu for your quick recovery. I would forever be indebted to you. I owe you my life. I look forward to taking initiation soon from you Maharaj.

Please forgive me for any offences that I may have committed in ignorance.

Your most fallen servant

হে পরমপূজনীয় আচার্যপাদ,

কৃপাপূর্বক আমার সশ্রদ্ধ প্রণতি গ্রহণ করুন। শ্রীল প্রভুপাদের জয় হোক। আপনার ৭১তম শুভ আবির্ভাব তিথি জয়যুক্ত হোক।

হে পতিতপাবন গুরু মহারাজ, 

আপনি আমাকে আপনার পারমার্থিক কন্যা হিসেবে গ্রহণ করেছেন তা আমার কোটি জন্মের সুকৃতির ফল। আমার এই লক্ষ্যহীন জীবনে আপনি এক অভাবনীয় মাত্রা দান করেছেন। অন্ধকারাচ্ছন্ন জীবনে মেকি হাসি ও আশেপাশের মানুষজনের মধ্যে আমি যখন নিজেকে হারিয়ে ফেলেছিলাম, তখনই আপনি আমার জীবনে কৃষ্ণভাবনামৃতের আলো নিয়ে এসেছেন।

হে প্রভুপাদের যোগ্য সৈনিক,

শ্রীল প্রভুপাদের দেওয়া আদেশ পালনে আপনি এই অসুস্থ লীলাতেও একটুও থেমে পড়েন নি। বরং দ্বিগুণ গতিতে ছুটে চলেছেন দিবারাত্রি। শারীরিক প্রতিকূলতার মধ্যেও আমাদের মুখ চেয়ে প্রতিদিন দর্শন দান, সান্ধ্যকালীন প্রবচন, পরিক্রমায় অংশগ্রহণ, মিটিং এ যোগদান প্রতিদিন হাজারো ব্যস্ততা।

হে দিকনির্দেশক,

আমি তা মন থেকে স্বীকার করি যে, আপনি আমার হালহীন জাহাজের কাণ্ডারী হয়ে সর্বদা আমাকে দিকনির্দেশনা দিয়ে যাচ্ছেন। আজ পর্যন্ত যত প্রতিকূলতার সম্মুখীন হয়েছি আপনি যেকোনভাবেই হোক তা থেকে আমাকে উদ্ধার পাবার পথ দেখিয়েছেন। তা সে আপনার সরাসরি প্রবচনের মাধ্যমে হোক বা কোনো উদ্ধৃতির মাধ্যমে বা জ্যেষ্ঠ ভক্তদের নির্দেশনার মাধ্যমে। আপনাকে স্মরণ করে যেকোনো কাজ করলে তার কোনো বোঝা অনুভব করি না আর। 

হে গুরুদেব, 

আমি এত অধম, পতিত জানা সত্ত্বেও আপনার সাথে সরাসরি সাক্ষাতের পরপরই স্বপ্নে আপনি আমাকে দীক্ষা নিতে আদেশ দেন, আপনার চরণে ঠাঁই নেওয়ার সুযোগ করে দেন। তেমন কোন প্রতিকূলতা ছাড়াই আমাকে দীক্ষা নেওয়ার ব্যবস্থাও করে দেন।      

হে পিতা,

আমি আপনার একজন অযোগ্যা কন্যা। আমার কোনো যোগ্যতা না থাকা সত্ত্বেও আপনি আমাকে সেবার অনেক সুযোগ করে দিয়েছেন। কিন্তু আমি এমনই দূর্ভাগা যে সেই সুযোগও হেলায় হারাচ্ছি।    

হে পারমার্থিক শিক্ষক,

আপনার প্রবচন একইসাথে আধ্যাত্মিক গভীরতা ও পাশাপাশি হাস্যোদ্দীপকে পূর্ণ। গৌরাঙ্গ নাম ও লীলার প্রতি প্রগাঢ় দৃঢ়তা আপনার প্রবচনে ফুটে ওঠে।

হে অধমজনার বন্ধু,

আপনার মহিমা বর্ণনের কোন যোগ্যতা আমার নেই। আপনার নিকট কীভাবে কৃতজ্ঞতা জ্ঞাপন করব তাও জানা নেই। তবে এইটুকুই বলতে চাই, পিতা, আপনাকে ছাড়া আমি অসহায়। আপনি আমাকে করুণা করুন আমি যেন আপনার বোঝা না হই, আমি যেন দীক্ষার সময় যে প্রতিজ্ঞা করেছি তা পালন করতে পারি। আমি প্রকৃতই শ্রীল প্রভুপাদের প্রচারকার্যে অংশ নিতে চাই। আমি যতটুকু যা করছি সবই আপনার করুণা ও প্রার্থনার শক্তিতে।

আপনার অযোগ্য কন্যা,

প্রথমে আমি আমার পরমারাধ্য গুরুদেব শ্রীল জয় পতাকা স্বামী গুরুমহারাজের চরণে সশ্রব্ধ দদণ্ডবৎ প্রণাম নিবেদন করি ও ইসকন প্রতিষ্ঠাতা আচার্য ভক্তিবেদান্ত স্বামী শ্রীল প্রভুপাদের চরণকমলে শতকোটি প্রণাম নিবেদন করি।

ওহে গুরুদেব,কি যোগ্যতা আছে আমার বলিব তোমার কথা...
তোমার করুণা ছাড়া যে, 
মোর এ জীবনই বৃথা...
এ হেন করুণা তোমার,তুমি
আলোকে প্লাবিত কর...
আমারই মত কত অধমের 
তুমি ভয় সন্ত্রাস হর...
আপন আলয় ভুলে কত না জীব
হয়েছে দৃষ্টমতি
কৃপা কর দিয়েছ তাদের দিব্যপ্রেমের গতি
ভকতির বাণী এনেছ তুমি
বিশ্ববাসীর দুয়ারে...
এত শারীরিক পীড়ার মাঝেও করেছ প্রচার
বসে ঐ হুইলচেয়ার 
করুণার পরশ লইয়া এসেছ তুমি
জানে এ জগৎবাসী
অন্তিমে শুধু বলব হে গুরুদেব 
তোমাকে অনেক ভালবাসি।।

হে গুরুদেব আজ আপনার ৭১তম ব্যাসপূজা,আজ এই শুভ কামদা একাদশীর শুভক্ষণে আপনি এসেছিলেন এ ভাবে জগৎবাসী ও আমার মত অধমকে কৃপাদান করার জন্য,সাক্ষাৎ নিত্যানন্দ প্রভুর প্রতিনিধি আপনি।ভগবান শ্রীনৃসিংহদেবকে প্রার্থনা করি যেন আপনাকে সুস্থ রাখেন আরও আরও আরও প্রচার করার জন্য।শ্রীল প্রভুপাদের স্বপ্ন সম্পূর্ণরূপে বাস্তবায়ন করার জন্য।মহাপ্রভুর জয় হোক,শ্রীল প্রভুপাদের জয় হোক,জয় হোক আমার পরমপিতার।হরেকৃষ্ণ 

ইতিঃআপনার অধম সন্তান জয়ন্তী পদ্মা দেবী দাসী

হে প্রাণপ্রিয় গুরুদেব,

দণ্ডবৎ প্রনাম! তোমার ৭১ তম আবির্ভাব তিথি জয়যুক্ত হোক!!!

তোমার মহিমা কীর্তন করার যোগ্যতা আমার নেই। শত প্রতিকূল অবস্থার মধ্যেও তুমি শ্রীচৈতন্য মহাপ্রভুর বাণীকে সফল করার জন্য চেষ্টা করে যাচ্ছ। তোমার প্রবচন, তোমার নৃত্য, তোমার কীর্তন, তোমার সকল কর্মকাণ্ড অপ্রাকৃত। শুধু তাই নয়, তোমার শারীরিক প্রতিকূল অবস্থাই সকল ভক্তদের দ্বারা তুমি হরিনামের যে জোয়ার তৈরি করেছিলে, যা কৃষ্ণভাবনামৃত আন্দোলনের অন্যতম দৃষ্টান্ত।

হে পতিত পাবন পিতা, তোমারে চিত্রপটে যেদিন প্রথম দেখেছি, সেদিন থেকেই নিজের মধ্যে অনুভব করেছি শ্রীল জয় পতাকা স্বামী ছাড়া আমার আর কোনো গতি নেই। পারমার্থিক জগতের সাথে সম্পৃক্ত হওয়ার আমার কোনো যোগ্যতাই নেই তারপরেও এই মূর্খ, অধম, অযোগ্যা সন্তানকে তুমি করুণা করেছ, যেটি ছিল আমার জীবনে উত্তম অর্জন।

আমাদের সমাজে অনেকে ধর্ম, গুরু এই বিষয়গুলো তুলে ধরে না, লজ্জা বোধ করে। কিন্তু আমি বলতে আনন্দবোধ করি, আমার গুরুদেব আমেরিকান সন্ন্যাসী, পিএইচডি ধারী। তুমিই আমার গুরুদেব শ্রীল জয় পতাকা স্বামী!!!

তোমার করুনায় আমার পরিবারের সবাই ভক্তিজীবনের সাথে যুক্ত রয়েছে। কষ্ট থাকলেও যে কৃষ্ণ থাকে তা তোমার মাধ্যমে আমারা অনুভব করি। তুমি আছো বলেই আমাদের অভাব থাকলেও কৃষ্ণের জন্য ভাবের অভাব হয় না। মাঝে মাঝে অবাক লাগে কিভাবে সারাটা জীবন তুমি নিজেকে উৎসর্গ করেছ কৃষ্ণভাবনামৃত আন্দোলনে। তুমিই আমার পরিবারের সকলের শ্রেষ্ঠ অনুপ্রেরক এবং অবলম্বন।

২০১৭ সালে দীক্ষা অনুষ্ঠানে আমার পতির দারু খোঁদাই করা শ্রীল প্রভুপাদের মুর‍্যাল তুমি গ্রহণ করেছিলে। তোমার এই ক্ষুদ্র পরিবারের সবাই খুবই আনন্দিত হয়েছিল সেইদিন। তুমি অকাতরে দেশ জাতি বর্ণ নির্বিশেষে সকলকে নিতাই কৃপা প্রদান এবং অমানীকে মান দান করে যাচ্ছ । হে প্রাণনাথ, তোমার কাছে প্রার্থনা এই যে আমার পতি শারীরিক অসুস্থতা কাটিয়ে আবার যেন ভাস্কর্য কর্মে নিয়োজিত হতে পারে এবং তোমার করুণা ও আশীর্বাদ পেতে পারে এবং আমরা যেন সর্বতোভাবে তোমার সেবায় নিযুক্ত থাকতে পারি।

হে পতিতপাবন গুরুদেব, এই মহৎ দিনে তোমার জন্য অনেক অনেক শুভকামনা রইল এবং কৃষ্ণের কাছে তোমার দীর্ঘায়ু কামনা করি।

আপনার অযোগ্যতম সন্তান,

কমলাক্ষী মাধবী দেবী দাসী

সিরাজগঞ্জ, বাংলাদেশ।

অগ্রে বন্দনা করি শ্রীচরণকমল ।

কৃপা করে গ্রহণ কর অধমের নিবেদন ।।

শুভদিনে শুভক্ষণে হলে আর্বিভাব ।

লাঘব করিতে আজি ভুবনের সব পাপ-তাপ ।।

প্রভুপাদ প্রিয়পাত্র, নামহট্ট রূপকার ।

তোমা বিনে হিতৌষী কে আছে আর ।।

শত কষ্ট আর প্রতিকূল সহে ।

গৌড়মন্ডল উদ্ধার করেছো অতি যত্মনে ।।

কত দৃঢ় তুমি সমগ্র জগত প্রচারে ।

হার মেনেছে ব্যাধির প্রকোপ যে ।।

নিত্যানন্দের অভিলাষ হইবে মন্দির এক ।

তারই সার্থক রূপায়নে অগ্রসর হইলে ।।

ওহে গুরুদেব,

আমি অতি অধম সন্তান তোমরা ।  

তোমার কৃপা বিনা সম্পদ নাহি আর আমার ।।

তোমার রাতুল চরণে হয় যদি অপরাধ মোরে ।

ক্ষমা করে কৃতার্থ করিবে মোরে ।

হে গুরুদেব, 

কর এই আর্শীবাদ ,

যা করেছি প্রতীক্ষা তোমার নিকটে ।

পালন করিতে পারি যেন তা দৃঢ় চিত্তে ।।

My Soul, Beloved Guru Mahārāja,

Please accept my humble obeisance on your lotus feet.

It is a great fortune for me to write some words to you though your glorification can not be limited in words. If I offer rose to anyone that is only to you my beloved Gurudeva. Sometimes I think it is very difficult to survive in devotional life without you. Though I lead very degraded life style but it becomes vain without your causeless mercy.

In your last visit in Bangladesh, I heard from many material people that maybe you are a demigod, if not, then why thousand people come just for once to see you. Just by seeing You, many people lives have changed. “Darshane pabitra kara ai tomara guna”

Before giving any lecture, the kirtan from your tongue “nama oṁ viṣṇu-pādāya..…” this really amazing and touch my heart and feel a transcendental blessing. Your innovative idea to develop the mission of Srila Prabhupada, really out of words “United Nation of Krishna Consciousness” how you sacrifice your whole life in service of devotion.  As a preacher, you cannot live without preaching through all physical issues because you are free from suffering & anxiety.

Jaya Pataka Swami, my heart, you are the victory flag who is trying to spread the blessing of Lord Nittayananda so that every single soul can be saved from material illusion. In my struggling life, all inspiration comes from your touchy message "Never give up". You always protect me from my every serious problem. I realize this causeless mercy only when I face problems and really Gurudeva, you are my hope.

When I saw you for the first time at Pundarik Dham, as if my mind was craving for you for a long time and I was feeling like I was looking for you. You provided me initiation but as a disciple I always disobey and misuse your causeless mercy. I am so fallen and engaged myself in sense gratification instead of devotion, this is the main reason of your physical issue. I am so unsteady and cheater and perform nama-aparadhas while chanting all the time. I try and determined myself but sometimes it does not work due to illusion.

It is known from disciplic succession, Vyāsa-pūjā is the day of re-surrender to Guru. On this auspicious day I again surrender to you. I wish to chant 16 round japa properly from heart, maintain four rules and take 3 times prasadam daily forever. Please accept me my source of energy, Gurudeva.

Happy 71th Appearance day! My Super Hero Srila Jaya Pataka Swami!!

Aspiring to become your unconditional servant

শ্রীল গুরুমহারাজের শ্রদ্ধাঞ্জলি অর্ঘ.....
হে পতিত পাবন জয়পতাকা স্বামী গুরুমহারাজ আপনার চরণে প্রথম আমি সশ্রদ্ধ প্রণতি নিবেদন করি.....
আপনি এক মহান গুরু আচার্য.....
আপনাকে ব্যাসপুজা উপলক্ষে দেওয়ার মত আমার কিছু নাই.....
এই সামান্যতম শ্রদ্ধাঞ্জলী আপনাকে নিবেদন করলাম......
আপনি কৃপা করে আমাকে আপনার চরণে ঠাঁই দিয়ে আমার মানবজন্ম কে সার্থক করেছেন।
তার জন্য আমি আপনার কাছে ঋণী..... 
আপনি আমাকে এই আশির্বাদ দেন যেনো আমি আমার গুরুগৌরাঙ্গ চরণকমল সর্বদা আমার মনকে নিয়োজিত করতে পারি। 
ও আপনার ও শ্রীলপ্রভুপাদের আজ্ঞা সর্বদা পালন করতে পারি।

My reverend Guru Maharaj,

Please accept my humble obeisance to your lotus feet. I am so blessed that you gave me shelter to your lotus feet in this January. Krsna gave me a chance to see you with my sinful eyes at a very short distance. It doesn't matter how long the duration was, but that I cannot share transcendental feelings after seeing you. I was thrilled when you shouted loudly by saying, " Gouranga". Oh Gurumaharaj, literally I was afraid that time by thinking that Mahaprabhu would appear before you at that time. You are so merciful that you gave me shelter to your lotus feet though I am not capable of taking the responsibility. I am now in a dilemma that if I was wrong at that time. Please bless me Guru Maharaj so that I can maintain all the rules. My heartiest praying to Krsna that you don't suffer for my ignorance. I have only one dream in my life. That is to serve you by living near you and get your lotus feet upon my chest. That's all.!! Please give me a chance Guru Maharaj.

Again accept my dandavat pranam. Hare Krishna. 

Your undeserving spiritual son,

Roddro Ranjan Das 

প্রিয়গুরুমহারাজ,

প্রথমে আপনার শ্রীচরণে  আমার প্রনা। 

হে গুরুমহারাজ আপনি করুনার  অবতার।

আপনার আবির্ভাবে পৃথিবীর অধপতিত জীব যারা কিনা সদাসর্বদা জন্য অস্থায়ী সুখের পিছনে ছুটছে আজ তারা।

ভক্তির অমৃতরুপ সুমুদ্রে নিমজ্জিত হয়ে প্রেমে  হাবুডুবু খাচ্ছে সেটা আপনার  কৃপায়।

আপনি এত করুনাময় যে, আমাদের মত অধপতিত জীব যাদের হৃদয়ে ভগবানের প্রতি অনুরাগ বলতে  কিছুই ছিলনা আপনি সেটা জাগিয়েছেন । 

বৃষ্টি যেমন সমুদ্র বা ভূমিতে  সমানভাবে পানি বর্ষন করে আপনার করুনাা তেমন সবার উপর সমান ভাবে বর্ষিত  হচ্ছে।

আপনার মহিমা বলে বা লিখে শেষ করা যাবে না।

আপনার আবির্ভাবে আমার মত পাপীর কিছু দেওয়ার যোগ্যতা নেই।

আপনার শ্রীচরণে আমার শতকোটি প্রণাম।

ইতি-- আপনার আশ্রিত সন্তান রিতা দাসী।                                    

71st Vyasa Puja Offering to Guru Maharaj

Dear Respected Guru Maharaj,

I am a very poor Incompetence disciple. Will you please accept my reverence? I have begun to

pledge to you, but I find myself ineligible because I cannot keep your promises. When I visit you,

my inadequacies float in me. Whenever your pure vision gains me, how fortunate I am to have

an effect in my consciousness, who has given shelter to your feet as a fallen person like me.

I have repeatedly thought that you are not an ordinary person, no matter how strong you are,

how determined you are to give a beautiful world to Krishna consciousness. To propagate

Krishna consciousness seeds, everyone sows Krishna consciousness in his heart. Whenever I

hear the whispers of a devout youth preaching from the mouth of a devotee, I think, "My youth is

passing away" but what am I doing as a disciple of a strong preacher like you?

yasya prasadad bhagavat-prasado

yasyaprasadan na gatih kuto 'pi

dhyayan stuvams tasya yashas trisandhyam

vande guroh sri-charanaravindam

By the mercy of the spiritual master one receives the benediction of Krsna. Without the grace of the spiritual

master, one cannot make any advancement. Therefore, I should always remember and praise the spiritual

master. At least three times a day I should offer my respectful obeisances unto the lotus feet of my spiritual

master.

Just like, the grace of Srila Prabhupada you are giving to the world wide of Krishna

consciousness likewise, Guru Maharaj today, on this 71st of your appearance day , I pray to

your Lotus feet that ,I can obey your commands and help in your preaching.

Your insignificant servant

হে পরমারাধ্য পারমার্থিক পিতা, 

কৃপাপূর্বক আপনার শ্রীচরণকমলে আমার সশ্রদ্ধ প্রণতি গ্রহণ করুন। কৃষ্ণকৃপাশ্রীমূর্তি শ্রীল প্রভুপাদের জয় হোক! পতিতপাবন গুরু মহারাজ, আপনার জয় হোক! আপনার ৭১-তম ব্যাসপূজা মহামহোৎসব জয়যুক্ত হোক! গুরু মহারাজ, আপনার গুণমহিমা বর্ণনা করার যোগ্যতা বা সাধ্য কোনটাই আমার নেই, তবুও মহাসমুদ্রস্বরূপ আপনার গুণাবলির কণামাত্রও যদি কীর্তন করতে পারি তা কেবল আপনারই করুণাতেই সম্ভব। গুরুদেবের কৃপায় মূক ব্যক্তিও বাঁচাল হতে পারে আর পঙ্গু ব্যক্তিও গিরি অতিক্রম করতে পারে, তাই আপনার কৃপায় আপনার এই অযোগ্যতম শিষ্যাও আপনার মহিমা কীর্তনের কিছুটা প্রয়াস করছি। কেননা আপনার গুণমহিমা বর্ণনাকালে আপনার মহৎ গুণাবলি স্মরণ করার মাধ্যমে আমার চিত্ত আনন্দিত ও নির্মল হবে এবং তা আমার ভক্তিজীবনের পুষ্টিবর্ধন করবে।

হে পতিত-পাবন শ্রীল গুরু মহারাজ, 

আপনি ভগবান শ্রীকৃষ্ণের একজন কৃপালু প্রতিনিধি। মায়াবদ্ধ হয়ে না জানি কত জন্ম এই ভবসমুদ্রে ঘুরপাক খাচ্ছি! যদি আমাদের প্রতি অহৈতুকী করুণাপরবশ হয়ে আপনি আপনার শ্রীচরণকমলের সুশীতল ছত্রছায়ায় আমাদের আশ্রয় না দিতেন, তবে কোথায় থাকতাম আমরা এই বদ্ধ জীবেরা! আমরা বদ্ধ জীবেরা কৃষ্ণবিমুখ হয়ে নিরন্তর যে ক্লেশ ভোগ করছি, তা আপনাকে কষ্ট দেয়, তাই আপনার এই শারীরিকভাবে প্রতিকূল অবস্থায়ও আপনি ছুটে চলেন নগরে-গ্রামে, বিশ্বের প্রতিটি মানুষের দ্বারে দ্বারে, তাদের জীবনে কৃষ্ণভাবনামৃত যোগ করতে। করুণা করে আপনার এই অধঃপতিত কন্যাকে এই আশীর্বাদ করুন যেন নিত্যকাল আপনার চরণকমলের ছত্রছায়ায় থাকতে পারি। যেখানেই থাকি, যদি বারবার জন্মও নিতে হয়, কৃপা করে আমার প্রতি এই করুণা করুন যেন আমি আপনার দাস হয়ে ঐকান্তিকভাবে নিরবধি আপনার সেবা করতে পারি। 

'যাহার প্রসাদে পুষ্ট হইল শীর্ণ ভক্তি লতিকা 

জনমে জনমে মোর গুরুদেব রহে যেন শ্রীল জয়পতাকা'

হে শ্রীল প্রভুপাদের জয়পতাকা,

প্রভুপাদ একদা আপনাকে নির্দেশ দিয়েছিলেন কৃষ্ণের সেনাবাহিনীতে যোগ দিতে। সেই থেকে অবিরত বিশ্রামহীনভাবে কায়মনোবাক্যে আপনি কৃষ্ণের সেনাবাহিনীতে সেবা করে চলেছেন। শ্রীল প্রভুপাদের সেবার প্রতি আপনার এই অবিচল ও দৃঢ় নিষ্ঠা স্বয়ং মৃত্যুকে পর্যন্ত হার মানিয়েছে; আর তা কেবল একবার নয়, বারবার। তাই আপনার নিকট আপনার ব্যাসপূজা মহামহোৎসবের এই মহামহিমান্বিত দিবসে আপনার এই অযোগ্যা কন্যার এই প্রার্থনা, শ্রীল প্রভুপাদের প্রতি আপনার সাগরসম ঐকান্তিকতা আর নিষ্ঠার কণামাত্রও যদি আপনার করুণায় লাভ করতে পারি, আমার এই জীবন সার্থক হবে। কৃপা করে এই আশীর্বাদ করুন যে, শ্রীল প্রভুপাদের সেবায় আপনাকে সহায়তা করার যে প্রতিজ্ঞা দীক্ষাকালে গ্রহণ করেছি, আপনার কৃপায় সেই প্রতিজ্ঞা পালন করায় যেন এখন থেকে সচেষ্ট হতে পারি। আলস্য আর অবহেলায় জীবনের বেশিরভাগ সময় অতিবাহিত করেছি। এখন অন্ততঃ বাকি সময়টুকু যেন আপনার অধীনে শ্রীল প্রভুপাদের সেবায় অতিবাহিত করতে পারি সেই প্রার্থনা করছি।

হে গৌরভাবনাময় গুরু মহারাজ, 

শ্রীল প্রভুপাদ একদা বলেছিলেন, আপনি গৌরাঙ্গ মহাপ্রভুর নিত্য পার্ষদ। আপনার সদা সর্বদা গৌরভাবনাময় থাকা যেন তারই উজ্জ্বল পরিচায়ক। যেকোন সাধারণ জড় বস্তুকেও কীভাবে কৃষ্ণভাবনামৃত বা গৌরভাবনামৃতের দৃষ্টিভঙ্গিতে দেখা যায় তার প্রত্যক্ষ দৃষ্টান্ত হলেন আপনি। আপনার সংস্পর্শে আসা বিভিন্ন ভক্তদের দ্বারা বর্ণিত আপনার বিভিন্ন লীলা শ্রবণের মাধ্যমে এটি আমরা অতি সহজেই উপলব্ধি করতে পারি যে, আপনি গৌরাঙ্গ মহাপ্রভুর নিজজন, গৌর-ধন-জন, যিনি গৌরাঙ্গ মহাপ্রভুর সেবা ব্যতিরেকে একটি মুহূর্তও অতিবাহিত করেন না। আপনার শ্রীমুখ থেকে বর্ণিত গৌরলীলা আমার পাষাণসদৃশ হৃদয়েও আনন্দের সঞ্চার করে, সেই অমৃতময় প্রাঞ্জল গৌরকথা আমাদের সকলকে গৌরাঙ্গ মহাপ্রভুর করুণালাভের আকাঙ্ক্ষী করে।

হে অধম জনার বন্ধু গুরু মহারাজ, 

আমার মতো অধঃপতিত জীবকে করুণা করে আপনার শ্রীপাদপদ্মে আশ্রয় প্রদান করেছেন। কিন্তু আমি এতটাই অধঃপতিত আর নিকৃষ্ট যে, আপনার কৃপা ব্যতিরেকে আমার ভজন-সাধন সুষ্ঠুভাবে সম্পাদন করার শক্তিটুকুও আমার নেই। আপনি সর্বদা আমাদের জন্য কৃষ্ণের নিকট প্রার্থনা করে থাকেন, তাই আমরা আপনার প্রার্থনার শক্তিতেই যৎকিঞ্চিৎ ভজন-সাধন করার প্রয়াস করছি। কৃপাপূর্বক নিরন্তর আমাদের জন্য কৃষ্ণের নিকট প্রার্থনা করার মাধ্যমে তাঁর কৃপার প্রবাহ আমাদের নিকট সুলভ করার জন্য আপনাকে অসংখ্য ধন্যবাদ ও কৃতজ্ঞতা জ্ঞাপন করছি।

আপনার সুস্বাস্থ্যের জন্য অন্তরের অন্তঃস্থল থেকে আন্তরিক প্রার্থনা করছি যেন কৃষ্ণের সুমধুর ইচ্ছায় আপনি আরও বহু বছর এই ধরাধামে থেকে আপনার কৃপাবারি বর্ষণ করে আরও অগণিত আত্মাকে কৃষ্ণের নিকটে আনয়ন করেন এবং আমাদের সকলকে আপনার অমৃতোপম সঙ্গসুধা লাভের অপ্রাকৃত আনন্দ প্রদান করেন।         

নিরন্তর আপনার সেবা অভিলাষী,

আপনার অতি নগণ্য কন্যা,

বৈজয়ন্তী ললিতা দেবী দাসী (দীক্ষা শিষ্যা, নারায়ণগঞ্জ, বাংলাদেশ)     

Dear GuruMaharaja,

At first take my humble obeisances unto your Lotus Feet. No words of honor can do justice in glorifying Gurumaharaj! He is the personal associate of the Lord come down to take conditioned souls like me, back to spiritual world. Though I am valueless, selfish and so much fallen soul, GM has accepted me on his lotus feet. But I do nothing for him still now. Forgive me for my inactiveness and inattentive mind. There is no way, there is no way and there is no way for me to lead my life without your special mercy.

Hare Krishna Maharaja,

Please accept my humble obeinsances unto your lotus feet.

On this very auspicious day I would like to thank Gurudeva for all the mercy

he has bestowed upon me by accepting me as his disciple. With the association of devotees I have been able to understand the

science of self realisation. By listenig to the lectures of Guru Maharaja, I

am able to develop love towards Prabhupada. I am praying to Lord Krishna to 

always keep Guru Maharaja in good health so that he can continuously preach the message of Godhead to innumerable fallen souls like me.

Long Live Guru Maharaja!

Long live Srila Prabhupada!

Long live ISKCON!

Dear Guru Maharaja，

This is Catura devi dasi from China. Please accept my humble obeisances unto your lotus feet. All glories to Gaura Nitai！All glories to Srila Prabhupada! All glories to Guru Maharaja!

I was initiated by you in Gaura Purnima Festival 2017. It’s the most important time in my whole life. Because of you I could join in the path of practising Bhakti yoga and have the hope to go back home, back to Godhead.  

During the past two years, I attended your Vyasa Puja celebrations in Mayapur,  it was so nice to see you and I think that those time in Mayapur was the happiest days for me. This year we have to celebrate your Vyasa Puja by internet.  Although we cannot go to Mayapur to see you personally,  your mercy still can be reached to us by associating with you through internet.

Last year during the Safari time in Gaura Mandala Parikrama, I became sick (facial paralysis). After back to my home in China, I have been taking some treatment and have also learned some ways of self-healing and am trying to recover my health to normal state. In spite of many difficulities I came across, I still tried my best to do some service for devotees in China. The main service I am doing for our movement is translation from Enghlish to Chinese, or Chinese to English. In every circumstance, if opportunity comes, I distribute prasadam to almost everyone I deal with. Sometimes I also find chances to distribute BG and books written by Srila Prabhupada. All these little service I could do it’s only because of Guru Maharaja’s mercy. I could realize more this year we are the tools of Guru Maharaja, Srila Prabhupada, and Lord Krishna.  

This year as my health is recovering gradually,  and I hope that I could contact some more people I knew before and hope to find some potential people who would like to join us in Hare Krishna Movement and cultivate some spiritual knowledge for them.

Dear Guru Maharaja, all the help and mercy you give to me are so great that I could not pay all these debts in the rest of my life. I hope that I could find some new devotees so that they could also help spread Krishna consciousness in China.

Dear Guru Maharaja, I hop that you would continue to give me strength in my daily practicing and preaching activities so that I could be of little help to you.

Your most fallen disciple / spiritual daughter,

Catura devi dasi

My Dear Guru Maharaja,

Please accept my respectful obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.  All glories to your auspicious appearance day.

This year is a special year to glorify your Vyasa puja day, while celebrating your 50 years' sannyasa at the same time. Your lifetime service to Srila Prabhupada set an example of a highly qualified disciple of His Divine Grace.  You are always in a leading position. You are the first one to wear mask and now the whole world has to follow.  Of course the best glorification of a spiritual master is to follow the footsteps of his dedication in service to the Lord.

Due to the corona virus attack in the world, I regret I was unable to visit Sri Mayapur dham this year. It is said in the scripture that love in separation is the highest as it would increase our memories and love for you. I hope I can serve you more and remember Krsna more at this difficult time. Since everyone has to stay at home most of the time, I requested your disciples in China to arrange celebrating your Vyasa puja together at zoom. Everyone can practice Krishna consciousness at home.  Nothing and no one can stop the Hare Krishna movement and our love to Guru Maharaja.

Dear Gurudeva, please bless me that I can continue my service to assist you in preaching Krishna consciousness for the rest of my life.

Guru Maharaja Vyasa Puja Ki Jaya!

Your insignificant servant,

Citra Vilasini devi dasi

My dear spiritual father:

Please accept my respectful obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada and Sri Sri

Gaura- Nitai. All glories to your auspicious appearance day.

At your 71st Vyasa puja ,I hope your health will be better and better and continue

to follow Srila Prabhupada 's footstep to spread Krishna Consciousness all over the

world. In the meanwhile many fallen soul will be delivered by you. You are the

fortunate ambassador from Lord Gauranga.

My dear spiritual father, I am very happy to see that you are more active and smart

in Facebook. After your organs transplant over one year, your body is better and

better. Krishna’s mercy , He gives you back to us. Your appearance are very

important , you light up our life.You wake me up krishna Consciousness in my heart

and teach me how to serve Krishna , how to remember Krishna and put Him in my heart

. You do so many austerities to perform the example for us. A normal person cannot

do these austerities because we can see that the strength comes from the spiritual

sky, comes from Krishna.

In front of you , I am really a  fool . You teach me directly no matter you are

present or not present. You teach me that I need to learn so many things in the

devotional services. If I am wrong you correct me and help me to walk in the right

path because I am a wild child . I need to be training by you .For example : I need

to listen the instructions of GBC, I need to do devotional services very carefully ,

I need to persist and take patience in preaching etc. I am lucky because you are my

spiritual father , you are so huge (spiritual ) and so compassion. Your spiritual

energy are so strong , full of strength .It make me to surrender to you.

Your teaching methods are diversity  and active. Sometimes you will use the funny

way, sometimes are humorous way, sometimes are neglectful way, sometimes are

suddenly examination, but you would not blame me. Your teaching is strict. You only

want to push me improving my spiritual practice. You perform the important of the

alive spiritual master of our parampara . No your association directly, I can not

get these real teachings.

Finally, I will follow you and try my best to do the devotional services.This is the

meaning of my life. Thank you for your mercy !Gauranga! Hare Krishna!

Today, on this most auspicious occasion of your Vyasapuja, I wanted to highlight one of your most outstanding qualities which, for me, make up the very essence of your entire personality. Your care. I have been born into Krishna Consciousness, both my parents have been devotees for decades and yet, none of us have ever seen or met someone as caring as you. You not only care for your own disciples, or disciples of other gurus, you even care for the neophyte Bhaktas and even the Karmis or non-devotees. You leave no one away from your mercy and benevolence. You never discriminate. As time passes, it becomes increasingly difficult to maintain this kind of care for normal humans. This type of care requires extreme levels of compassion, generosity and kindness. You have not only maintained this care for all these years but you maintained it despite your severe illness. In fact, your care is ever-increasing. You care for your brothers, your children, little kids, old devotees…….you leave no one. I cannot even fathom how Your Grace can think about so many living entities when you yourself need so much care. I can only conclude that this quality of yours……as all others…..is divine. That’s the only explanation. Only a pure devotee of the Lord, a true representative of Krishna can display such profuse care. I am beyond honored and blessed to have met and known such a divine master as you dear Gurudev. You are the epitome of kindness and affection and I pray to you O Merciful Master on this beautiful day of your Divine Appearance to kindly impart at least a fraction of this benevolent quality so that one day I will be able to care for devotees following the footsteps of my Glorious Spiritual Master.

Dearest Gurudev,

Please accept the humble obeisances of this most fallen soul unto your lotus feet.Gurudev,as I write an offering to you,I fall short of words, because words aren't enough to express what I feel at the moment and also I am no one to be able to glorify you,who has been serving Srila Prabhupada and his mission untiringly. Beloved Gurudev,being under your shelter for over a year now,I feel more protected and blessed in my spiritual as well as material life and more connected to you.I would like to share a small instance, which for me is a big one though.Few months ago,I was very much disturbed with some matter,and was thinking of the same while going for classes.Suddenly my phone vibrated and unlocking it, to my surprise,I saw a picture of yours ,and adjacent to it was written,"everything will be fine".Gurumaharaj,your causeless mercy upon a soul like me,melts my heart,makes me cry..I have had many such instances.I wonder how can you maintain such unique relations with each one of us.I pray to Radha Madhav,I pray to you and I pray to all Vaishnavas,that someday in life,I could do something little to please you Gurudev.Also I seek your blessings so that I can be free from all bad qualities and can serve the Lord,Srila Prabhupada and my Gurudev to the fullest .

On this most auspicious day of the Vyasa Puja of my beloved Gurudev,I bow down to the Supreme Personality of Godhead and pray for your good health.

Yours most insincere servant,

Aakanksha Agarwala.

My revered Jayapataka Swami Guru Maharaj, 

Please accept my humble obeisances. I am a very insignificant person, trying to be a devotee of Lord Sri Hari. I had been almost regularly attending Bhagwad Gita classes and festivals (once a week) since around 2010. I had moved to Bangalore in 2015 after completion of my graduation. I had an opportunity to associate with your disciples in Sri Jagannath Mandir. I rever their strict sadhna and preaching efforts and so I naturally got inclined to know more about you, Maharaj.

This stay in Bangalore (almost 5 years now) has been most beneficial and spiritually uplifting for me. I can't even imagine the efforts which you take to fulfil the instructions for Srila Prabhupada. Even with this physical body limitations, you are still going around the world, carrying the mission of Srila Prabhupada. You do not want anything for yourself, such are qualities of pure devotees. When I think about you, every thing seems magical as if the Lord is giving you a special power. Your every action might materially seem normal, but it is very deeply reasoned. For example, you avoid giving direct instructions to disciples, so that if they can't do it, it does not mean Guru aparadh. Whatever you are doing at this stage, it is only possible by a pure devotee of the Lord. 

I can just beg you. I have nothing to give. I beg you for your blessings so that I can serve my bit to this mission which would please Srila Prabhupada and all his disciples. I am incapable of doing anything, and I have all bad habits (which I am even shy to tell here). With the blessings of Guru and Sadhu, I would certainly be able to accomplish it. Please bless me so that I can have devotees association throughout my life. 

Please forgive me for any of my deeds which could separate me from devotee association. 

Trying to be your humble servant, 

Abhinav Aggarwal

Dear Guru Maharaj, please accept my humble obeisances unto the dust of your Lotus feet.

I (a fallen conditioned soal) so much fortunate to get Your association every day, through your’s online - Facebook classes; we are getting your darshan and association every day despite your busy schedule. This is very inspiring to me that by the mercy of the Supreme Personality of godhead Lord Krishna I am under the care of your lotus feet.

Now, I am very much glad and practicing for coming close to You - by seeking on the path of serving You and Your mission to spread Srila Prabhupada’s message without any disruption.

I remember that You have provided Your association earlier through the mercy of HG Tirthanga Nitai Das Prabhu and HG Radha Raman Sevak Das Prabhu at Mayapur Dham. You are an all-rounder and revolutionary in providing Your association to Your followers and in spreading Krishna Consciousness with all possibilities.

Srila Gurudev, You are a pioneer in Congregational preaching and You have designed and successfully established the system of Bhakti-vriksa and Namahatta, thus we have received unlimited blessings of Srila Prabhupada and the previous Acharya’s by your’s mercy.

The Bhaktivedanta Academy of Cultural and Education (BACE) all over India endeavoring seriously to follow Your glorious footsteps in congregational preaching.

I beg for Your blessings with dandvat pranam in your’s lotus feets- to be successful in contributing to Your mission of spreading Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s message all over the globe.

My sincere prayers unto the Supreme Personality of Godhead Lord Krishna:

Please keep my spiritual master - always in Good health and strength to continue his service unlimitedly unto Srila Prabhupada and his mission.

I beg to remain the servant of Your servants,

My dear spiritual father His Holiness Jayapataka Swami Guru Mahārāja,
I offer my respectful obeisances unto your lotus feet on the auspicious occasion of your 71st Vyasa-puja celebration. All glories to your lotus feet!

My dear Guru Maharaja,
You are the dear, empowered, intimate and the most beloved disciple of Srila Prabhupada. Throughout your life (which is a glorious life of commitment and surrender unto the lotus feet of Srila Prabhupada) by your personal behaviour, you have displayed the mood and mind of an ideal disciple. It is indeed flabbergasting to see the unmotivated and uninterrupted fashion in which you conduct yourself as a committed and determined disciple of Srila Prabhupada. Your attachment to Srila Prabhupada and your daily meditation on his instructions is your very identity and this very fact makes you a crown jewel of this world.  
                                                            “guru-mukha-padma-vākya, cittete kariyā aikya,
                                                             āra nā kariha mane āśā”
Narottama Dāsa Ṭhākura advises everyone to stick to the principle of carrying out the orders of the spiritual master. One should not desire anything else. If the regulative principles ordered by the spiritual master are followed rigidly, the mind will gradually be trained to desire nothing but the service of Kṛṣṇa. Such training is the perfection of life. Guru Maharaja, having attained the pinnacle of perfection in your own life, you are now mercifully passing on the same formula into the hearts of your disciples. Srila Prabhupada would be so pleased with you. 

Beloved Guru Maharaja,
You are the perfect representative of the Guru Parampara. Your magnanimity and eagerness to give the mercy of Guru Parampara to all are melting even the stone-like hearts of those whose only goal of life is sense gratification. Displaying an undaunting spirit of unparalleled compassion, you now have more than 50000 disciples. It is inconceivable how you prepare your mind to continuously give shelter to more and more conditioned souls and then pray for them, nourish the via your instructions and inspire them by your personal conduct.  Your life is an offering of selfless service to the Guru Parampara. The deep care and intimate concern which you show for your disciples is the direct embodiment of the causeless mercy of Sri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. Your activities, mood, mind, and symptoms are all inconceivable for an unworthy and ungrateful disciple like me, as also is rightly pointed out by Krishnadas Kaviraj Goswami.
                                                                “yāṅra citte kṛṣṇa-premā karaye udaya
                                                                 tāṅra vākya, kriyā, mudrā vijñeha nā bujhaya” (CC Madhya, 23.39)
Translation
“Even the most learned man cannot understand the words, activities and symptoms of a person situated in love of Godhead.”

My dear Master of my life,
You exist in a transcendental realm as an eternal associate of Lord Chaitanya and are simultaneously favouring this world by your Vapu and Vani. The goal of your life is to simply to broadcast the never-ending glories of Patitpavana Sri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. You leave everyone around you spellbound by your heart-throbbing narrations of the pastimes and the unlimited mercy of Lord Chaitanya. Your attachment to the lotus feet of Lord Chaitanya is rarest. This attachment is so exemplary that in order to serve Him you live on the “Avayrtha Kalatvam platform”, that is you don’t waste even a single moment of your time. I have heard from my seniors, who have fortunately got your close association, that you indeed never forget Lord Chaitanya and Srila Prabhupada even for a moment. You mercifully exhibit your devotion by showing qualities like forgiveness, concern that time should not be wasted, detachment, absence of false prestige, hope, eagerness, a taste for chanting the holy name of the Lord, attachment to descriptions of the transcendental qualities of the Lord, and affection for those places where the Lord resides-that is, a temple or a holy place like Mayapur or Vṛndāvana. You carry the mercy of Lord Chaitanya in your heart and have become His instrument. You make the spiritual lives of your disciples easy by telling them the success formula to persevere in spiritual life which is,
                                                                 “kathañcana smṛte yasmin
                                                                  duṣkaraṁ sukaraṁ bhavet
                                                                  vismṛte viparītaṁ syāt
                                                                  śrī-caitanyaṁ namāmi tam” (CC Adi, 14.1)
Translation
“Things that are very difficult to do become easy to execute if one somehow or other simply remembers Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu. But if one does not remember Him, even easy things become very difficult. To this Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu, I offer my respectful obeisances.”

My dear Ever-tolerant Father,
I am your very ungrateful and thoroughly wicked disciple. The fact that I am still surviving in my spiritual life is the living proof of your unlimited tolerance and patience. Srila Prabhupada says “Great unalloyed devotees of the Lord are compassionate towards the fallen, and therefore they travel all over the world with the mission of bringing souls back to Godhead, back to home. Such pure devotees of the Lord carry the message of Godhead in order to deliver the fallen souls, and therefore the common man who is bewildered by the influence of the external energy of the Lord should avail himself of their association.” (SB 3.5.3). Guru Maharaja, although I am unable to associate with you personally because you are a transcendental traveler, I am trying my best to associate with you via your instructions. However, Guru Maharaja, I face many difficulties and obstacles in my spiritual life. 

In one of your Radhashtami lectures on Sep 07, 1981, in Boston, you very tactfully compare the nine stages of devotion to the extraction of sugar candy from sugarcane. You compare the initial seed of sugarcane to the Shraddha, its juice to Association of devotees, refining the sugarcane juice as Bhajan Kriya and you go on to compare the process of boiling the sugarcane juice for removing the impurities to Anartha Nivritti. You describe how the Bhakti is independent of all other yoga practices by mentioning that even to boil this sugarcane, the waste bagasse(left-over) of the sugarcane is used and no external fuel is required. You then go on explaining other stages of devotion and analytically compare it to various stages of sugarcane processing, but I lose my heart in the description of Anartha Nivritti phase. 

Guru Maharaja, because I am your disciple, I am determined to cross over the unfathomable ocean of anarthas in my heart, but I am struggling and am weak at heart and it overwhelms me. When the sugarcane waste gets thrown out, although human beings don't eat it, the dogs, they like it. The stray dogs come and lap it up and become intoxicated by eating the garbage. I am like that stray dog, which is satisfied with little sweetness mixed with dirt. The weeds and anarthas in my heart exist because I don’t have a higher taste in Bhakti. I don’t have the capacity to weed out my anarthas, so I beg you to be merciful to me. 

In the same lecture, you compare the crystallized form sugar to Nishtha and explain how the crystallization process begins by putting a crystal in the sugarcane juice and then the whole thing crystallizes. You mention the following

“So, in the same way, we practice; we purify, but ultimately we have to get the mercy from Vaishnavas. We have to get special mercy from those who are very close to Krishna. This is what crystallizes everything. This is what makes everything perfect. If we think that we can directly reach the Absolute Truth, we will reach the Absolute Truth with our own effort, there are so many pitfalls that ultimately it doesn’t crystallize. So, the process is that we take the shelter of the bonafide spiritual master, take the shelter of a Vaishnavas. In this way we reach very easily. So, then we have crystal Gur and that is further refined into a candy. So that candy Gur is like very nice taste. So that the crystal is like Nishtha, fixed devotion, very fixed devotion. As one has got the impurities off, has the mercy of the spiritual master, then his devotional service becomes fixed. That means no longer is the mind chanchala.”

Guru Maharaja, you are so charitable and magnanimous, please mercifully give the seed of Nishtha Bhakti as a charity to me, so that I can begin to serve you and your servants with complete chastity and thorough obedience. 

I want to dedicate my life to your service, trying to imbibe a fraction of your innumerable qualities. Your mercy is my only wealth. Please give me the strength to take full shelter of your instructions and become your faithful servant and representative. Please make a puppet in your hands use me as an instrument to broadcast the glories of Srila Prabhupada and Lord Chaitanya. Just like the chakora bird always looks towards the moon and longs for it, feeling its incapability to attain it, but never losing hope, this insignificant disciple of your divine grace, hankers for a drop of your mercy. I aspire to become a faithful servant of your servants.

Yours eternally,

Dear Gurudeva,

Happy appearance day!

I offer my most humble, respectful obeisance unto your lotus feet.

Praying to Radha Madhav Astasakis, Narasimhadev, Pancatatva to bless and give you good health and long life to continue your seva to please Srila Prabhupad and Gauranga. 

Thank you Gurudev for giving shelter to this fallen conditioned soul even though I am not worthy of it. Without your mercy would have drowned in this hopless material ocean.

Gurudeva, with your daily classes getting your association which is always blissfull.

March 1 2020 returned back to Palakkad from Mathuradesh after retirement.

At Palakkad devotees under leadership of His Grace Murali Govinda Das were happy for our return back to Palakkad Satsang and are engaging us by providing us opportunity to do Seva and responsibility. 

Guru Maharaj with your mercy doing a small seva of translating your lectures in English to Malayalam along with other devotees under guidance of HG Prema Pramoda Dasa. Hope this seva will please you and devotees.

Being part of Palakkad satsang wish to utilise my time in preaching and conducting class at home after Corona Lockdown situation improves. Need your blessings for this service.

Kindly bless me to do my Sadhana better and progress in my devotional path.

Our son Pranav is getting married to a devotee child Baktin Swati, daughter of HG Sheshnarasimha Prabhu and HG Jamuna Jeevani Mathaji. We seek your blessings for all the auspiciousness for the marriage ceremoney scheduled on 28 June 2020. Kindly bless them so that together they can progress in Krishna Consciousness and please Your Holiness and Gauranga.

Gurudeva please bless me and my family so that together we can serve you.

Hare Krishna dear Guru Maharaja,

Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus-feet.

I have recently received full-time service opportunity in the mission of Srila Prabhupada. I am grateful for this & for everything that has been bestowed upon me by your & Srila Prabhupada's causeless mercy.

But i am fearful because i am an unworthy recipient. Due to my own conditionings, instead of honoring these rare gifts, i am mistreating them. I think myself blessed to have such a wonderful association & family of devotees, yet at the same time, foolish for not serving them properly, the way you & our Founder-Acharya wants.

Thus, i shamelesssly beg at your lotus-feet Guru Maharaja, to kindly deliver me from these self-fabricated traps of my materialistic mind. Please pull this insignificant worm out of the sewage-pit of maya, so that i may never think of leaving the service to the lotus-feet of Your Divine Grace. I have taken initiation but i feel distant from you because of not taking your association sufficiently in Vani form, for which i am repentant.

I want to correct these mistakes of mine and advance in Krishna consciousness, for your pleasure & for the pleasure of Srila Prabhupada. I don't want to remain a neophyte throughout my life. For this, i am in dire need of your merciful glance.

O master! Please never let me go astray from the path of pure devotional service to Sri Sri Radha-Madhav & Sri Sri Panch-Tattva. For a long time, I have neglected this, but i don't want to repeat it anymore & therefore, i am crying at your lotus-feet. Please accept me.

Aspiring to be a faithful servant of your servant,

Achyuta Naam Das

Please Accept My Respectful Obeisances 

All Glories to you Guru Maharaj 

All Glories to Srila Prabhupad 

Dear Guru Maharaj 

On this auspicious occasion of your appearance I would like to thank you for all the encouragement you have given me in my Spiritual life. Thinking about how you are extending yourself for others and from listening about your vigour and determination to push forward Srila Prabhupad's movement is very inspiring to me. 

As you are aware I recently experienced the loss of my Grandfather. Despite your poor health you recorded a message for me and prayed for both my Grandfather and Grandmother's spiritual upliftment. Thank you very much Guru Maharaj. 

Of late I have been struggling to follow a proper routine in Krishna Consciousness and this is affecting my life. On this auspicious occasion Guru Maharaj I promise that I shall try my best to follow a routine so that I can help myself and the mission of Srila Prabhupad in a tangible manner. 

Guru Maharaj please bless me that I shall be able to follow the path you have set out for us and engage in spreading the mission of Lord Chaitanya far and wide in the mood of servant of the servant.

Kindly accept my humble obeisances unto your divine lotus feet, Guru Maharaj.You are the most beloved of Srila Prabhupad, you are the embodiment of compassion and are the most munificent of all.

I am a fallen soul who is trapped in this material world and you are the only shelter I have to cross this material ocean.

In 2019, When I was in Mumbai, my shiksha guru (Nimai prabhu) informed me that you were going to come in Bangalore on a particular day but since  unfortunately my last exam was also on that day , I couldn't come. Then again, when my exams were going , my parents decided to visit Shri Radha Rasbihari temple and I couldn't join them . When my parents reached there they found that the temple was being decorated for some special occasion but they didn't know why was it being decorated . So, they had prasad and came home. After a few min you appeared in Radha Rasbihari. When I received this message in whatsapp , I was heartbroken, had I know before I would have gone there and taken your beautiful darshan.

All opportunities of taking your darshan slipped off my hand , after all I have committed numerous sins in my past life. I can't attend your live lectures on Facebook too since I don't have a Facebook account. 

But on 31st March, I received a message that you are giving darshan on zoom, when I logged in already 100 members were there and therefore I wasn't accepted. Then the technical problem was fixed and zoom was available for 10000 devotees, and I entered. I was sooooooo overwhelmed to see your beautiful face and your lotus feet , to take your darshan live. I am more fallen than an worm on dirt and yet you showered your mercy on this insignificant person, so compassionate you truly are. I couldn't believe my own eyes when I saw you live. By taking your darshan my stone like heart melted and left me wanting your darshan again and again. It's my dearest desire to be initiated from you , Guru Maharaj.

What to speak of your Lila's, when each and every part of your body is transcendental. You are the residence of bhagvat Prema and have come in this world to deliver the fallen souls like me.

You are the victory flag of Srila AC Bhaktivedant Swami Prabhupad.

Your glories can't be put in words for even words don't have the capacity to accommodate your praises.

I am as insignificant as a drop of water in the ocean, Kindly bless me Guru Maharaj.

Dear Guru Maharaj
 
Please accept my respectable Obeisance to your lotus feet. 
 
Currently I am serving your mission through preaching Krishna consciousness to the employees of Thangamayil Group, Tirunelveli in southern part of Tamil Nadu where I am working as full time worker to teach them to chant Hare Krishna mahamantra and preach the importance of 4 regulative principles. This great opportunity is provided to me by HG Balarama Govinda Prabhu. I had opportunity to bring the souls to take shelter of your lotus feet.  There were 5 devotees got initiated in 2017 and one in 2016. 
Srila Gurudev, these are made possible only by your causeless mercy and blessing upon me. Your blessing made me to work and being remain in the Krishna Consciousness in these preaching activities and your blessing directed me to associate with great soul HG Balarama Govinda Prabhu and take part in his spiritual service to you.
I want to service you at your satisfaction, if you wish please kindly bless me so that I will do this preaching service without any hurdle and to bring more soul to your lotus feet.

​Please accept my respectful obeisances

All glories to Srila Guru Maharaj

All glories to Srila Prabhupad

All glories to Sri Sri Guru and Gauranga

I am really blessed to have received you as my spiritual father. It is very inspiring to see how you are always active in preaching irrespective of the situation. You are unstoppable.

For many years, I was struggling with bhakti vriksha and was not able to make out how to serve members better and help them advance. Then, I learnt a lot from your personal example that how you take care of each and everyone you interact with. The loving exchanges that you have with devotees that leave an everlasting impression of your divine self unto them. I remember one recollection of a nurse from ILBS Delhi. She mentioned that she used to tell her name to patients but they kept forgetting. On the contrary, when she told you her name, although you were not fully conscious that time, you used to call her by name. 

Recently, when you visited Bangalore, I handed over some dakshina in your lotus hands. Your servant tried to take it from you, but you pulled it back, touched to your head and kept it in your pocket next to your heart. For a person like me, who is not very advanced or known, but a very ordinary person, receiving such a reciprocation from your divine self was unimaginable. That was really heart touching. Or I can say, I was practically killed by that loving reciprocation. This also inspires me to deal very nicely with devotees irrespective of whether they are junior, senior or neophyte.

And one incidence I would like to share with you Guru Maharaj. It was Navadvipa Mandal parikarma 2013, my first parikrama. I was at Surabhi Kunj that time when your divine self came. I was next to the altar and you were right there at the entrance. I couldn't see you but when you reached, I felt an out of the world experience which I never felt before. It was alien to me but yet so much enchanting, that I still remember that feeling. That is the day I desired to receive initiation from you. In 2015, you kindly accepted me as your disciple.

At initiation, you asked if we would help you serve Srila Prabhupad. That made me realize how much love you have for Srila Prabhupad. You could have asked if we would be ready to serve you, but no, you asked if we are ready to serve Srila Prabhupad. So, my humble request at your divine lotus feet to bless me that I can always be engaged in serving Srila Prabhupad as a service to you Guru Maharaj. Please bless me as, without the blessings, it is not possible to do service unto Guru and Gauranga for eternity. 

And with that desire, my humble request at your lotus feet to please bless me that I can soon get married to a suitable girl, who can be a good teammate and that together we can serve more and more and be an example of a good grhastha couple in this mission of Srila Prabhupad.

Seeking your blessings, love and affection,

​Your spiritual son,

My dear Gurumaharaj, please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.

All glories to Srila Prabhupad.

All glories to your divine grace. 

You have appeared in this world to give us Krishna prem. From the young age of 19 you have taken the responsibility of spreading the name of Krishna all over the world. ISKCON was also very young, it was a difficult time, your grandfather was amongst the top 10 richest persons of America but you still left everything for the service of Srila Prabhupad and Krishna, struggled a lot to happily serve Krishna. Srila Prabhupad had given you so many important services which almost seemed like an impossible task but you achieved all of it happily and blissfully and made the instructions as your life and soul. When there were difficult times in ISKCON you were always present as a symbol of hope. Despite suffering from paralysis,  kidney and liver failure you stood firmly as the strongest pillar of hope and faith for all of us. Srila Prabhupad used to hammer and speak that we are not this body but a spirit soul and you have literally proved it. 

Dear Gurumaharaj, I have no qualification, I am a fallen soul but you are so merciful that you accepted me and gave me your shelter. I was drowning in this material ocean of birth and death with no hope, frustrated but you stood there on your wheelchair showcasing that the only hope in kaliyuga is the lotus feet of lord Gauranga. Thank you very much for giving us this hope. When you chant the name of lord Gauranga it gives me goosebumps and it perfectly resonates with the heart touching prayer of Narottam das thakur "gauranga’ bolite habe pulaka-sarira ‘hari hari’ bolite nayane ba’ be near". Your body is not supporting you, it's giving a lot of pain but you perform so many services even in this condition with enthusiasm and you are very blissful. Whenever I face problems I think of you as a symbol of enthusiasm and bliss. 

Dear Gurumaharaj, you have instructed us to cry for Krishna when you chant his names, I am trying my best to follow your instruction and cry for Krishna. You are so compassionate to all the living entities and want all of us to go back to Krishna. I also want to imbibe this quality of yours to be compassionate to all the living entities and preach Krishna consciousness to as many people as possible and bring them to the lotus feet of Krishna. I am inspired by your sincerity for service to Srila Prabhupad with humility, sensitivity, compassion. I also want to serve your instructions sincerely to always be compassionate, humble, never become proud and always be in association with devotees.

On this occasion of your Vyas puja I want to recommit myself to you. To improve my chanting, personal hearing, reading Prabhupada books, attending morning program, and endeavoring to endeavour in planning my day in such a way that even after morning program I won't be wasting my time in maya. Just like the cricketers do net practice to perform well in a match, I will also give my 100% effort to be fully Krishna conscious for the entire day so that I can perform well in the morning program by attentive chanting, reading and hearing. To invest whatever free time I have to plan and prepare on effective preaching and learn Bhajans by our acharyas. Please have mercy on me so that I can serve your instructions to the fullest of my capacity. 

Always seeking your blessing.

Dear Beloved Gurudeva,

Please Accept our Respectful Obeisances,

Gurudeva every year I try to find words within my heart that can properly glorify you. I have come to a realisation that we are unworthy to glorify you. But by your mercy and mercy of Vaishnava’s I have managed to make an offering.

Time I wanted to preach about Lord Chaitanya’s moment and Holy name of the lord we used to her your Lectures and there as not a single lecture you didn’t speak about Gauranga and his Pastimes. It gave us immense pleasure to hear about Gauranga’spastimes.when I visit MayapurDham I feel that’s my mother’s place(Mayka) each and everything is taken care and we feel motherly love.

In this age of Kaliyuga we can feel the strength of SrimatiMayadevieach and every moment and to release ourselves from her clutches and almost impossible Krishna is unlimitedly Strong and Mahamaya is also energy of Krishna therefore she is also unlimitedly strong. Only your mercy can protect us from her powerful influence. Gurudeva by your mercy we have come into contact with Gauranga and we think we have been fortunate enough to make a step of advancement and for that we are eternally grateful. Because of this lockdown we are not able to Distribute books of SrilaPrabhupada.Our hearts are broken because we are not able to reach more souls.

Please bless our BV members to make spiritual Advancement so that they become serious in KC and get initiated.

Prayers for your Good health at Lotus feet of Sri Narasimhadev.

Amrita Anjali chitra Devi Dasi

All glories to you, brave, determined and wonderful Guru Maharaja! Please accept my obeisances again and again. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Though the auspicious festival of Vyasa-puja is still a month away, this opportunity to remember and meditate on your excellent qualities as an offering to your lotus feet always brings so much pleasure peppered with a few pinches of pain. Preparing to write this letter is pure joy: I increase my hearing of your glorious and vastly variegated classes from past and present and look at pictures of you. The talks that are especially inspiring to me are occasions in which you glorify Sri Navadwip Dham. I recently watched a fourteen part recording of Navadwip Mandal praikrama from 1996 and was transfixed on the beauty of the scenes: the devotees glowed with ecstasy, the holy land was radiant with spiritual potency and you, my beloved Spiritual Master, were luminous with the joy of speaking about your Homeland in the association of your god brothers. Seeing you in those videos looking so relaxed and carefree made me long for those days again. 

And then there's the pain: Sometimes I feel that you are so close and other times I suffer from feeling that you are so far away. I deeply regret that I do not serve you and your mission enough. When I reflect on how expertly you engaged me in Sri Sri Gour-Nitai's service--you so kindly gave me a small part in the winter preaching programme with the Mayapur Nama-hatta--I consider myself to be incalculably fortunate. Your disciples became real and true brothers to me, and even all of these years on when I see a Nama-hatta devotee from the pandal programme days we always reminisce about how wonderful those years were. From my association with your disciple, HH Gauranga Prem Swami Maharaja I gained a deep taste for bhajan and the spiritual discipline cultivated by sincere and serious sadhaka. My small contribution to the UK has been that the songs I learned whilst a member of that preaching crew have been the basis for classes I occasionally give. While our philosophy tells us that a person under the sway of the mode of ignorance lives in the past, we are confident that remembering these engagements is part of awakening the eternal memory of constant service to the beloved devotees of the Lord. And here comes the pain again: because I am somewhat adrift in the ocean of existence I wonder when (and if?) in this lifetime I will ever be as engaged as I was back then. When I look to you as my greatest example and guide of how to "Keep Krsna Conscious and Carry On" I feel revived. Of course, you do far, far more than "Carry On"; you excel and exceed all expectations at every corner. I pray that I may be like you when I grow up.

Although, very disappointingly, I am still a neophyte in Krsna consciousness events over the last two years have caused me to take ever more real shelter in spiritual life. One of the bhakti-angas that I am always enthusiastic to practice is sravanam. Srila Prabhupada's books, particularly Srimad-Bhagavatam and Caitanya-caritamrta and Krsna Book are my special favourites. In Srila Prabhupada's magnificent Purport (4.24.67) I came across a description of a mahatma that has your glorious name all over it.

The wise man is always very eager to glorify the Lord by chanting and hearing (nama-gane sada ruci), and he is always eager to describe the transcendental qualities of the Lord (asaktis tad-gunakhyane). He should also be attracted to those places where the Lord had His pastimes (pritis tad-vasati-stale). These are symptoms of an advanced devotee. An advanced devotee, or a perfect human being who is actually wise and learned, cannot give up his service at the lotus feet of the Lord. 

You embody the principle of discipleship perfectly at every moment. 

I sincerely seek your blessings and mercy, dear Guru Maharaja that I may face all trials by fire with the courage and cheerfulness that you do. I miss you dearly and long for your expert instruction and divine inspiration.

Your spiritual daughter,

Dear Gurumaharaj, my spiritual father,

Please accept my respectful obeisances at your lotus feet on your auspicious appearance celebration. All glories to His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada. Your divine grace very mercifully accepted and initiated me on 22 August 2010 through Sri Jagannath Mandir, Bengaluru yatra. First of all, I beg your mercy and pardon for all deviations from your instructions over this period. I understand and pray that by shravan and kirtan of glorifications of a pure devotee like your divine grace on this day, I will get inspired and reinforced to follow your instructions/my vows strictly.

One can learn from the spiritual master through Guru’s Vani (instructions) and Acharan (Behaviour). Gurumaharaj, you are a true Acharya and have given simple but deep instructions to your followers.

Learning through Acharan:

As an Acharya, you exhibited dedication to Guru’s orders; Acting on the platform of soul; Determination; broad-heartedness and achieved extra-ordinary feats of fulfilling the orders of Srila Prabhupada like recently crossing the 50,000 disciples. This becomes even more challenging with all material incapacitation and discomforts you are going through.

It is said that a sadhaka devotee suffers due to his past karma and siddha devotees like yourself suffers because Krishna wants to glorify him for his inherent qualities. However, the suffering of a pure devotee (guru) is also due to disciples who have not acted responsibly at times, including me.

By your personal example, you showed how a disciple should be dedicated to follow the instructions of his Spiritual master:

1. Your divine grace learnt Bengali, became a Bengali Indian, to preach and develop Mayapur. However, we all know you are an eternal associate of Lord Gauranga as confirmed by Prabhupada. Now, Mayapur has become an example of spiritual world on earth and you are like respected and beloved father figure for all including local Bengalis of Navadeep dham. This I have experienced personally during Navadeep Mandal Parikrama.

2. Secondly, you desire to live longer even in your physical situation, wherein ordinarily people tend to just give up. You got changed the body organs in order to live and serve Srila Prabhupada’s instructions. Message is clear- “Never give up serving”.

Learning through Vani (Instructions):

1. In one of the article published in magazine Sri Guru Prasanga, I found your instruction, i.e. “Let people try to use their intelligence to expand”. This is your mood, the article said. It means that having given principal instructions, your divine grace give freedom to disciples to use their individuality, skills etc. to work out details (execution). It is essentially a kind of Independence to become dependent on Krishna for spreading Gaura-vani. This is the instruction, how to engage Intelligence in Krishna.

2. Another instruction, i.e. How to engage mind in Krishna, goes as follows- “Engage your mind always in thinking that how you can refine your service or improve the quality of service, it will help in controlling the mind.”

3. Another beautiful instruction, shared by one devotee, during Navdeep mandal parikrama (given in my own words)- “Dhaams are actually personalities. One should visit them regularly to know them and become more intimate so that gradually they would reveal themselves.”

Dear Gurumaharaj, I learnt few lessons through very limited/few personal dealings also:

1. Once, I got the chance of serving you during a lunch in Coimbatore (India), roughly around year 2012. My seva was to wipe the intermittent fluid falling through one side of mouth using tissue paper, while you were honouring the prasadam. I was using one tissue for one wipe and throwing, like that I disposed 2-3 tissues. Then, you very mercifully gestured to stop me from throwing the next tissue and told to reuse it. I learnt the lesson that one should not waste anything unnecessarily as everything is Krishna’s property.

2. In year 2017, we visited Mayapur and wished to have Annaprasana of my daughter through your hands, Gurumaharaj. We fixed up appointment with HG Mahavaraha prabhu and reached at designated time at your quarter in Lotus building roof. But, we came to know that you were busy in some meetings as the meetings might have stretched. We were assuming that as soon as you would come back at your residence, you might just feed our baby, the sweet rice prasadam, we brought. However, to our surprise, your divine grace came back for lunch at Lotus building roof, you ensured first proper invocations and worship performed as per prescribed scriptural methodology through your personal pujari while you had lunch. Then, you performed Annaprasana and fed my daughter, Radhika and blessed us.

I found you are very particular that all devotional activities should be performed very methodologically with highest of standards if possible. Secondly, going to details is the sign of love and true care.

Gurumaharaj, I am performing very insignificant service in ISKCON Chandigarh and Mohali preaching center: to assist in organising Discover Yourself course, to follow up and preaching the new devotees.

Gurumaharaj, you carry Lord Gauranga and Lord Nityananda in your heart. You also wish that everyone must carry Them in their hearts. I pray your divine grace to give the shade of your lotus feet upon me so that I can get mercy and blessings of Lord Nityananda and Lord Gauranga and I get strength to follow your instructions with discipline (which is the secret of success).

At last, I pray to Sri Sri Radha Madhava, Panchatattva and Lord Narsimhadev to give you long life to guide us by your Vani and actions and to deliver many souls waiting all around the world.

Nama Om Vishnu padaya Krsna presthaya bhutale

Srimate Jayapataka swamin iti namine

Nama Acharya padaya Nitai kripa pradayine

Gaura katha dhaam daya nagara grama tarine

Dear Gurumaharaj, my spiritual father,

Please accept my respectful obeisances at your lotus feet on your auspicious appearance celebration. All glories to His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada. Your divine grace very mercifully accepted and initiated me on 22 August 2010 through Sri Jagannath Mandir, Bengaluru yatra. First of all, I beg your mercy and pardon for all deviations from your instructions over this period. I understand and pray that by shravan and kirtan of glorifications of a pure devotee like your divine grace on this day, I will get inspired and reinforced to follow your instructions/my vows strictly.

One can learn from the spiritual master through Guru’s Vani (instructions) and Acharan (Behaviour). Gurumaharaj, you are a true Acharya and have given simple but deep instructions to your followers.

Learning through Acharan:

As an Acharya, you exhibited dedication to Guru’s orders; Acting on the platform of soul; Determination; broad-heartedness and achieved extra-ordinary feats of fulfilling the orders of Srila Prabhupada like recently crossing the 50,000 disciples. This becomes even more challenging with all material incapacitation and discomforts you are going through.

It is said that a sadhaka devotee suffers due to his past karma and siddha devotees like yourself suffers because Krishna wants to glorify him for his inherent qualities. However, the suffering of a pure devotee (guru) is also due to disciples who have not acted responsibly at times, including me.

By your personal example, you showed how a disciple should be dedicated to follow the instructions of his Spiritual master:

1. Your divine grace learnt Bengali, became a Bengali Indian, to preach and develop Mayapur. However, we all know you are an eternal associate of Lord Gauranga as confirmed by Prabhupada. Now, Mayapur has become an example of spiritual world on earth and you are like respected and beloved father figure for all including local Bengalis of Navadeep dham. This I have experienced personally during Navadeep Mandal Parikrama.

2. Secondly, you desire to live longer even in your physical situation, wherein ordinarily people tend to just give up. You got changed the body organs in order to live and serve Srila Prabhupada’s instructions. Message is clear- “Never give up serving”.

Learning through Vani (Instructions):

1. In one of the article published in magazine Sri Guru Prasanga, I found your instruction, i.e. “Let people try to use their intelligence to expand”. This is your mood, the article said. It means that having given principal instructions, your divine grace give freedom to disciples to use their individuality, skills etc. to work out details (execution). It is essentially a kind of Independence to become dependent on Krishna for spreading Gaura-vani. This is the instruction, how to engage Intelligence in Krishna.

2. Another instruction, i.e. How to engage mind in Krishna, goes as follows- “Engage your mind always in thinking that how you can refine your service or improve the quality of service, it will help in controlling the mind.”

3. Another beautiful instruction, shared by one devotee, during Navdeep mandal parikrama (given in my own words)- “Dhaams are actually personalities. One should visit them regularly to know them and become more intimate so that gradually they would reveal themselves.”

Dear Gurumaharaj, I learnt few lessons through very limited/few personal dealings also:

1. Once, I got the chance of serving you during a lunch in Coimbatore (India), roughly around year 2012. My seva was to wipe the intermittent fluid falling through one side of mouth using tissue paper, while you were honouring the prasadam. I was using one tissue for one wipe and throwing, like that I disposed 2-3 tissues. Then, you very mercifully gestured to stop me from throwing the next tissue and told to reuse it. I learnt the lesson that one should not waste anything unnecessarily as everything is Krishna’s property.

2. In year 2017, we visited Mayapur and wished to have Annaprasana of my daughter through your hands, Gurumaharaj. We fixed up appointment with HG Mahavaraha prabhu and reached at designated time at your quarter in Lotus building roof.

I pray your divine grace to give the shade of your lotus feet upon me so that I can get mercy and blessings of Lord Nityananda and Lord Gauranga and I get strength to follow your instructions with discipline (which is the secret of success).

Dear Guru Maharaj,

Please accept our respectful obeisance unto your divine lotus feet. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! And all glories to you, our dear spiritual father.

On the auspicious occasion of your 71^st Vyasa Puja, we meditate on the importance of your position as our dear spiritual master.

In the Ādi Purāṇa there is the following statement by Lord Kṛṣṇa Himself, addressed to Arjuna: "My dear Pārtha, one who claims to be My devotee is not so. Only a person who claims to be the devotee of My devotee is actually My devotee." No one can approach the Supreme Personality of Godhead directly. One must approach Him through His pure devotees. Therefore, in the system of Vaiṣṇava activities, the first duty is to accept a devotee as spiritual master and then to render service unto him.

Dear Guru Maharaj,

The verse above signifies the importance of serving the spiritual master and a pure devotee, and unless we serve you submissively, we will never be able to attain the lotus feel of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.

Your attachment to Lord Caitanya and Navadwip dham is very deep, to say the least. You closely follow in the footsteps of the Panca Tattva and Srila Prabhupada. Gurudev, you tirelessly travel throughout the world, preaching the glories of Lord Caitanya. Your compassion knows no bounds as you continuously extend yourself to guide and protect us, in spite of your physical challenges.

Guru Maharaj, we will never be able to repay you for the boundless mercy that you have showered upon us and our family over the last 40 years, yet on this most auspicious day of your vyasa puja, we shamelessly beg that you continue showering your mercy upon us so that we will be able to follow your instructions and assist you in fulfilling Srila Prabhupada’s instructions. We are ever grateful for your daily nectar through the Caitanya Lila sessions.

Your servants,

Please accept my respectful obeisances. Guru Mahārāja. Thank you for accepting this undeserving person as your aspiring disciple. Simply put, my wife (Janani) and I seek your blessings to become more devoted to Kṛṣṇa, Gaurāṅga and you, and soon progress to become your sheltered disciples and initiated disciples.

I pray to the Supreme Lord to give you the best health and more importantly, constant joy through the devotional services performed by more and more disciples.

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada. All Glories to Sri Guru and Gauranga.

This is your insignificant servant Anandamaya Sacinandana das who you have most mercifully accepted. I had been wandering around the universes in various bodies conditioned to enjoy the material energy. One fortunate day, I came in contact with His Grace Udayananda Prabhu, your very sincere servant, who very mercifully allowed me to take prasadam at the Kalyani centre and also brought me to Sri Mayapur Dhām later. Thus began the process of bhava-maha-dāvāgni-nirvāpanam.

Then through the mercy of Gauranga, I came in contact with His Grace Nitai Chandra Nimai Prabhu, another very sincere servant of yours, who is guiding me holding my hands and who has brought me to your Divine Shelter, trānāya kārunya ghanāghanatvam.

Gurumaharaj you are the swift deliverer of conditioned, illusioned souls like me in this blazing fire of material existence. You travel far and wide to present the message of Sri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, carrying the mercy of Lord Nityananda to deliver the conditioned souls. Most magnanimously you distribute Krishna's Holy Name. 

This insignificant soul has been the most fortunate recipient of your mercy, that unlimited kindness which can in no way be repaid but with a grateful heart I have a humble prayer to offer you, that you may bestow upon me service to Sri Mayapur Dhām, your heart and soul. That I may use whatever trivial material capacities I may acquire by Krishna's mercy in order to maintain this temporary material body, to spread the Glory of Sri Mayapur Dhām, to bring more living entities to Mayapur to get the mercy of the most munificent, Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.

Weeping at your Lotus Feet,

Your lowly servant,

On the auspicious day of your Vyas Puja, I seek your blessings to keep me always engaged in your service. May I always endeavour to serve you with all my possible efforts without any pride and honour, with all humbleness and tolerance and be ready to honour each and every krsna's part and parcel. May I be able to see You and Srila Prabhupad all around me 24×7.

If you so desire, Kindly bless me with Gaura Prem!

Dear Guru Mahārāja, 

Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet. 

All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda. 

I’m writing this letter to express my gratitude towards my Guru Mahārāja, for accepting this most fallen soul as your disciple. It would be hard pushed to think of knowing a more friendly, sweet, kind and loving person in my life time than you. 

Thank you for coming to NEW DELHI ,EAST OF KAILASH and giving me an opportunity and you had given me initiation this year 2020.Even though you having so many health issues, you always take care of others and pray for them. I remember some years before you came to New delhi, everyone was sad to see you in this condition and you said to us don’t worry about my physical condition, I’m alright and happy and you also said you will also pray for our spiritual progress. This shows how detached you are from your body and you are our true inspiration and a perfect example of how to follow the instructions of spiritual master. 

My prayers to Lord Rādhā Mādhava to improve your health, so that next time when you come New delhi we can serve you with your favorite bengali dishes (tiler naru,misti pulao, chutney). Please keep me at your feet always.

Yours insignificant servant,

All glories to Your Divine Grace!

Wishing you a very happy Vyasa Puja 2020.!

Praying to Sri Sri Narsimhadeva for Your good health ..

Guru Maharaja, we are eternally indebted to you for all the mercy you had been continuously showering on such fallen souls. You are the deepest source of inspiration to be in the mood of serve serve and serve!!!! 

Whenever we hear the pastimes of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu from your lotus mouth, it appears as if we get totally absorbed in thinking of Gauranga!! Anande seema nai ... Nirananda dure jaye.. 

Probably, we would have never ever gotten to know and realize the mercy of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu without your blessings and selfless service to Srila Prabhupada.

Now we can actually see Srila Prabhupada's soldier in you ..

How you are continuously and tirelessly serving despite of so many health issues! 

You are the living example in front of the whole world that we are not this body ..

As the world is now currently struggling with corona virus, you are continuously spreading the Karuna virus wherever your vani reaches:)

The Gaur Purnima festival is especially the biggest inspiration and live example for everyone, how the Karuna virus has brought the whole world under one roof of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu!

Your glories are unlimited!

Your causeless mercy is unlimited!

Thank you so much dearest Guru Maharaja for being with us all the time and being a continuous source of inspiration to continue Krishna Consciousness with enthusiasm.

Kindly bless us that we may become instrumental in your lotus hands and be able to connect few souls to your lotus feet.

It's only one year since we have entered Grihasthashram. 

We need your blessings and prayers that we can actually fulfill our roles and responsibilities as grihasthas and protect us from bring grihamedi!

Please bless your coming grandchild to become an instrument in the service of Srila Prabhupada and can continue with the parampara. Those were the most merciful moments when we got your personal association at Sri Sri Radha Parthsarthi temple last month. We are very grateful to you for your blessings and love to future baby. We hope baby will follow your instructions and render devotional practice throughout the life. 

We need your blessings to be able to become ideal parents and can teach Krishna Consciousness in right manner.

Thank you so much Guru Maharaja for everything.

Kindly forgive us if by chance we committed any offence unto your lotus feet knowingly or unknowingly.

Dear Guru Maharaj,

Please accept my humble obeisances,

I am eternally indebted to you for giving shelter at your lotus feet. Your mercy is like bottomless ocean. You have a great sense of care for each and every soul. I heard from one of my senior godbrother, How a devotee who was traveling in night after talking to you in mayapur and you got up in the midnight suddenly and told one of your servant to remind him to keep the driver awake. This shows what is the degree of your care for your each and every soul. You relish the pastimes of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and invoke the love and devotion for Mahaprabhu to anyone who hears from you. Preaching is your life and soul. I was hearing from Radha Raman Maharaja, how you went to bihar and traveled through all different tracks. You used to visit even small huts and used to preach to them. This shows your extreme concern to take each and every soul back to Godhead. 

By your mercy Guru Maharaja, I have started with Bhakti-vrksa. I am feeling ashamed to say that I am not at all serious for preaching. I am not able to proper follow up for them, which I am supposed to do. My sadhana have also became weak after marriage.

Please bless me that I can get up again strongly and serve for your pleasure. Dear GuruMaharaj I am going to get a child in few months. Please bless me that I can be a responsible father and raise my children in Krsna consciousness. My wife is chanting 10 rounds now and reading Prabhupad Books. Please bless her that she develops great love for Lord Caitanaya.

Dear Gurudev,

Please accept our obeisances at the dust of your lotus feet.

On this most glorious and jubilant occasion of your Vyasa Puja, We have

made an insignificant attempt to glorify your humble self. Gurudev. You are

the most glorious disciple of Srila Prabhupada. Srila Prabhupada’s

instruction is your life and soul. You are in this world just to serve

Srila Prabhupada and following his instructions. Tireless preaching, which

has no match; Extraordinary!!!,

We offer all our progress and pray to the lord for helping you to recover

soon from this bodily situation which has held you from preaching all over

the world with full strength.

Material conditionings are holding us back, but taking shelter of your

grace is the only way out. We pray at your lotus feet and request you to

bless us so that we come out from our comfort zone and remain engaged in

your mission and away from any nama or vaishanava apradhas.

Todas las glorias a Srila Prabupada!!!

Todas las glorias a tu maravillosa vida de amor y entrega a SP!!!

Quiero aprovechar esta, y cada oportunidad para agradecerte todas las bendiciones que recibo, porque sé que gracias a tu misericordia y protección, siempre llega a mí todo lo que necesito para estar bien, feliz y conciente de Krishna.

 De igual manera, quiero pedir disculpas porque muchas veces -a pesar de toda la misericordia- mi mente me hace pensar que no puedo estar feliz...

Pero gracias (también), por recordarme, con tan solo una de tus miradas, que no importa dónde esté, mientras te sirva, estaré tocando el cielo con los dedos.

Últimamente, todo lo que sucede en este mundo (material) tan horrible me tiene un poquito más loca de lo habitual... Pero me está enseñando a sentirme muy dichosa de estar en el camino adecuado.

Siempre sentiré que eres el motor de mi corazón, y no importa cuántas veces más se desmorone mi mundo, mientras pueda recordarte, tendré mil razones para sonreír...

Eres maravilloso.

All glories to Srila Prabupada!!!

All the glories to your wonderful life of love and dedication to SP!!!

I want to take this, and every opportunity to thank you for all the blessings I receive, because I know that because of your mercy and protection, everything I need always comes to me to be well, happy and aware of Krishna.

 Similarly, I want to apologize because many times - despite all the mercy - my mind makes me think that I cannot be happy.

But thank you (also), for reminding me, with just one of your looks, that no matter where I am, as long as i can serve you, I will be touching the heaven with my fingers.

Lately, everything that is happening in this horrible (material) world makes me a little bit crazier than usual... But it's teaching me to feel very happy to be on the right way.

I will always feel that you are the engine of my heart, and no matter how many more times my world is demoralized, as long as I can remember you, I will have a thousand reasons to smile...

You're wonderful.

Dear Guru Maharaj, Please accept my respectful obeisances. 

All glories to Srila Prabhupada. 

Guru maharaj, you have always been a great source of inspiration for me. Every time when I get your darshan, either live or through your lectures,I feel very blessed. 

To me, you are a perfect example to the point that we are not this body but the soul. Despite your health issues,you never compromise your devotional life.This helps me learn how to be enthusiastic to serve Krishna,in whatever circumstance of life I may be in. Also that, how one can always remain happy serving Guru and Gauranga. 

And the busy schedules of yours makes me realise that one can never be tired serving Krishna. There is absolutely no satiety at all.And the way you preach Krishna consciousness throughout the world, motivates me to talk to people about Krishna and tell them about the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

The beautiful pastimes of Gauranga and Nityananda in your lectures help me develop more and more faith and love for Mahaprabhu and His associates and keep my mind fixed up on Gauranga. 

Guru Maharaj, you have always been the one who can help us advance in our spiritual life. 

Srila Prabhupada ki Jaya!                                 Guru Maharaj ki Jaya!

Seeking the blessings of your lotus feet,

O Gurudeva, when will the day come when I will be a useful servant at your Lotus feet? 

O Gurudeva,  when will my desires to serve you and Srila Prabhupada fructify? 

When will I realize that it is the goal to take Krishna Consciousness movement forward cooperatively important than to prove yourself better than the other?

When will I imbibe the qualities of sincerity, punctuality and determination to enthusiastically serve you unconditionally and unmotivated getting rid of my excuses in life?

On this sweet happy day I thank you for giving me undeserving care, protection, good association and above all coming to my house guiding me each day forgiving and tolerating me. I thank you for accepting me as your disciple. May you distribute Gauraprem to fallen sinful people like me for many more years as you please. Such a Glorious Spiritual Master is mine.

"Nama Om Vishnu padaya Krsna presthaya bhutale

Srimate Jayapataka swamin iti namine,

Nama Acharya padaya Nitai kripa pradayine

Gaura katha dhama daya nagara grama tarine"

Please accept my humble obeisances Dear Guru Maharaja! Dandavat Pranams!!

Although being born in an affluent socio-cultural situation in America, you have selflessly and tirelessly dedicated your entire life for the Sankirtan Movement under the flagship of ISKCON.

On the order of Srila Prabhupada, when you came to India, you had to actually face countless difficulties, which you did accept humbly upon yourself on behalf of Srila Prabhupada. For reviving the Vedic culture, you travelled to new and old towns and villages of India, giving the people there pure transcendental knowledge and engaging them in pure devotional services.

For this noble mission to succeed, especially in the region of Bengal, you also learned the Bengali language. Also, for spreading the culture of Krsna Consciousness you often had to

travel many times in a year to the other countries of the world. But, we now are seeing the sumptuous fructification of your selfless labour of pure love in numerous towns and villages of

the world!

Guru Maharaja, you took to the cause of guiding the Grhastha devotees by translating the Godruma Kalpatavi, with practical instructions and words of encouragement from Srila

Bhaktivinoda Thakur. Guru Maharaja you are trying your level best to encourage everyone in Krsna Consciousness, and for that matter you are accepting all the outward physical sufferings with gratitude, considering it Krsna's causeless mercy.

I pray at the lotus feet of Lord Gauranga, that may you be blessed with good health and may you continue to shower us all by your merciful association for many many years to come.

My Dear and respected Guru Maharaj, 

      Please take my humble and respectful obeisance unto your lotus feet on the auspicious day of your appearance. I'm not also qualified to glorify you but my councilor (HG Premananda Chaitanya Prabhu) has given me the chance to glorify a pure devotee of Shree Krsna. I saw you 1st time at Kolkata Airport. At that time I did not know who you are but I was so eager to see you, I don't know why? But when I saw You I got surprised to see your condition. I was not expected that. Later I  know from other devotees about you and search about you. I feel into tears what have you done for Srila Prabhupada, you also got beaten from our country-man though you are given mercy to them and taking sufferings from them giving them initiation. From that I realized what is self realization and soul conception. In this condition you are moving all around the world to satisfy Srila Prabhupada and Sri Krsna. You don't a miss a single day in preaching on Facebook Live or anywhere. I did not see Srila Prabhupada, only hear about him but i'm seeing you. I'm so blessed to see you, a pure devotee of Sri Krsna who can do everything to please his Spiritual master. I never saw such energetic personality like you, now also You are so energetic as your early condition of life. Please forgive me whatever offences I have done at your lotus feet. I love you I love you a lot.. Please bless me so I can stay with devotees and serve my spiritual master and Sri Krsna and devotees birth after birth. And I can also fulfill the desire of my guru and Srila Prabhupada. 

Your insignificant servant at your lotus feet.

Gurumaharaj,

Please accept my respectful obeisance!

I am a sinful person. Due to my ignorance and lack of knowledge, in the past, I was associated with ritwik philosophy and had no spiritual progress. By the mercy of Srila Prabhupada, I came into contact with Banaswadi Bhakti Center, under ISKCON HBR layout, Bangalore and am associated from March 2018. By Your mercy, am learning the importance of spiritual and devotional service. Am a kidney patient, by Your causeless mercy, kidney transplantation was done in December 2018. You are so mercy full that You have given me shelter under Your lotus feet, when You came to Bangalore, during the grand function, at the palace ground on 29 September 2019.

In spite of Your health condition You are traveling all over the world, showering Your mercy and blessing people and preaching to fulfill the mission of HDG Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada and lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is amazing. You are demonstrating personally how a devotee must do devotional service to Guru and Gauranga.

I beg for Your mercy and blessing for my improvement in devotional service and spiritual life.

Thank you Srila Gurumaharaj,

Your servant of servant of servant,

                  Vyasa Puja offering to my beloved Guru Maharaj :

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj all glories to your auspicious appearance day. I am a sheltered of yours. Guru Maharaj please bless me that I can serve you better. Guru Maharaj firstly when I saw you at Iskcon Delhi in 2017 I was just wondering that it is impossible to even stand beside you because you were totally sorrounded by brahmacharis. But the miracle which happened that day was totally shockable. After the Gaura Aarti you were distributing flowers to all the brahmacharis to offer to Srila Prabhupada. I thought to try once to get flower from you. But it was seemed to be impossible because a huge crowd of brahmacharis had covered you like your bodyguard and as usual your translater can't allow anyone to be close to you so if I thought to went to take flower from the front I can't take it so all the routes were blocked. I was at the last and just watching here and there to get some little space but failed. Suddenly a hand came from the crowd and pulled me and at that time all the brahmacharis shifted aside and were watching me shockingly. I was totally confused at that time. But what I noticed was unexpected, that hand was yours. I was standing beside to you very closely than you gave me a flower and pointed towards Prabhupada to offer. I can't belive that it happened totally opposite to my thinking. And Guru Maharaj when you touched me it was like that I have achieved everything. And from your blessings I started chanting 16 rounds which was impossible for me. I always thought that 16 rounds chanting is not a cup of tea for me, but you made it possible. At that time I realised that only a Guru can take us from darkness to enlightment. Another incident happened when you visited Delhi this year in January.

I always want a spiritual name from you because my friend's name is Gauranga and his parent's Guru Maharaj has given this name to him. So I decided that I will take a spiritual name from you. In 2017 when you visited Delhi I have made a card for you and this time when you came I again made a card for you. At 31st January after your lecture you were proceeding towards your guest house, this was the correct time to give you the card I suddenly rushed towards you but the same scene happened, all the devotees were sorrounding you but this time they all know me and gave me the path automatically and I gave you the card. It seemed that you liked the card because you became so happy and shouted 'Oh!' because this time I have made your picture in that card. You tapped on my back and called me 'Artist' I became so gladful because what I want you gave me, a spiritual name from you. You called me Artist and my name also starts from A. This is because every word fallen from your mouth is transcendental. So a materialistic position is also converted into a spiritual name. I was running here and there and telling every one about my new name. These two incident I can't forget. Guru Maharaj am not doing much for you but a small service that I am giving to spread your instructions is to type and correction of your books in Hindi. Guru Maharaj please bless me that I can handle my 10th studies as well as my spiritual career fluently...

All Glories to Srila Jayapataka Swami Guru Maharaja

Dear Guru Maharaj please accept my respectful obeisances at the dust of your lotus feet.

I don't have any qualifications to glorify you and your activities.

But somehow by your mercy I am writing,

How to glorify, where to start, where to end I have no idea,

Dear Guru Maharaj your services and your dealings are the causeless mercy upon us to favour the devotional service.

Your nectarine pastimes brings tears in eyes.

You are the distributor of the Gauranga and Nityananda,

Your name itself is the victory flag which can overcome any obstacles,

There was not any single moment where you were separated from

The instructions of His Divine Grace Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.

You brought the treasure of the Love of the Gaurachandra ,

You taught me to respect the Tulasi Maharani in Evry aspect.

You utilised your single second to distribute the message of Mahaprabhu,

I brought by your mercy under the shelter of lord Nityananda.

When I thought it's very difficult to meet Guru Maharaj and to get mercy. But you are the flood of love and ocean of mercy.

Again and again you looked after me and cared me and my devotional services.

But  I am so foolish that I didn't value it.

Whenever I see you, i remember lord Gaur Nitai,

And remember vaishnava song by Locana das Thakur

parama koruṇa, pahū dui jana 

nitāi gauracandra 

saba avatāra-sāra śiromaṇi 

kevala ānanda-kanda

Param Karuna you have and

Now a days also you are going continent to continent to distribute the treasure of love of Gauranga Mahaprabhu

And 

Anander Sima nahi niranand dure jaye.

When we hear Gauranga - Gauranga - Gauranga from your lotus mouth.

I am too fortunate, I got your causeless mercy,

On your 71st vyasa Puja I am begging at your lotus feet to shower mercy on me, so that I can follow strictly my devotional service and serve you and Srila Prabhupada.

Dear Guru Maharaj,

Please accept my humble obeisances,

All glories to srila prabhupada,

Wishing you a very happy appeareance day and to all my god brothers and god sisters. This will be very happy occassion not only for all of us but even more for you because you are very eager to always follow srila prabhupada and fulfill his orders and to give us an opportunity to serve you in serving srila prabhupada and thus deliver us from this material existence. Thus you are always happy and eager wherever you appear to spread the glories of the holy name and deliver the fallen souls.

I am still not able to practice the principles of devotional service perfectly even after several years after connecting to devotees. I pray at your lotus feet to pray for my spiritual well being and bless me to overcome lust, anger, greed, false ego, false pride, hatred, offences to devotees, enviousness, jealousy etc and develop qualities like tolerance, patience, humility, forgiveness, gratitude etc...

As the rsis of naimisaranya say in srimad bhagavatam:

yat pada samsraya suta

munaya prasamaayana

sadya punanti upasprsta

svardhun apo anusevaya

I took will like to pray in their footsteps to take complete shelter of your lotus feet which can help me purify more quickly than taking only shelter of bathing in the ganges or religious activities without your grace and mercy.

Dear Guru Maharaj,

Please accept our respectful obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Initially I was connected with the Ritvik ISKCON Temple and was doing Book Distribution quite consitently at Thiruvannamalai, 
Srirangam, Dharmasthala, Kanchipuram and around Bangalore.

Paricipated in all the Spiritual Yatras almost every year(2007-2013) but was Shocked to realize that they would blaspheme the current 
Guru Parampara and not conduct Yatras to Sri Dham Mayapur. This lead to curiosity and intense desire to have darshan of Sri Dham Mayapur.
First time, when I had visited Mayapur in 2007, I was absolutely perplexed with the Mind-blowing Kirtan, deities and the Vibration was a lot different from the Ritvik ISKCON Bangalore.

I had participated in the Navadwip Mandal Parikrama 2009 which was the turning point in my life. It was then that I had realized 
about your glories from Senior Vaishnavas and the various services that you have been performing at Mayapur.
At one point of time, I had even realized that you are one of the associates of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu and felt really fortunate
to be your proud disciple. Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu incarnates once in a day of Lord Brahma(approx 2000 Chatur Yugas) which is this 
Kali Yuga and during the same time, you have manifested to serve under Srila Prabhupada(Senapati Devotee of Caitanya Mahaprabhu)

I have always felt within my heart that I have no qualifications to receive your mercy. In 2016, when you had come to Bangalore, 
I was given an opportunity to clean your Room and during the cleaning process, I thought to myself about me being such a low class 
person trapped in Maya and still given such vapu seva which is beyond my Karma. But the entire paradigm Shift of my life from 
ritvik to the Guru Parampara through your mercy is very hard to analyse and comprehend on a materialistic platform. 
I felt that I was chased by you everytime to surrender to Lord Krishna. Please help me to become a sincere disciple and serve 
Srila Prabhupada the way you want to.

Pravupada personally told that you are an original associate of Lord Chaitannya and would preach in Bengali language with more than 10k Indian disciples. You proved each and every words of Srila Pravupada The absolute truth. The whole world had seen that you have defeated death personified. The teachings of  Lord Krishna and Chaitannya Mahapravu are practically shown,  practicing in your life.

I feel myself so fortunate that by the mercy of my councillor & siksha-guru H.G. Premanada Chaitanya Pravu , I got some opportunity to have the precious blissful enlightening association of such a personality like you Guru Maharaj.

I am praying you blessings so that I shall remain Krishna conscious forever and shall have the association of devotees.I am begging your forgiveness for my mistakes at your lotus feet.Please empower me so that I can do my devotional service nicely and can carry out the order of spiritual master for the pleasure of Shri Guru & Gouranga.

Your Insignificant Servant,

Dear Gurudēva, Jayapatākā Svāmī Āčāryapāda, all glories to your auspicious appearance day! Please accept my respectful obeisances at your lotus feet!

                You told in lecture, how fortunate were Šrī Čaitanya’s Mahāprabhu associates to be with Him, to participate in His pastimes, to experience sat-čit-ānanda of the Lord, to enjoy Šrī Čaitanya’s playful dealings with the pure spiritual personalities, expansions of His eternal energy of Prema bhakti. Similar I say – how fortunate we are to be with you, to participate in your pastimes, to feel through you presence of Gauranga’s sat-čit-ānanda, to communicate with devotees, pure spiritual souls, who render full time service to you, what is possible only because they are granted with your own special bhakti shakti.

                On the opening ceremony of TOVP Pujarī floor Vraja Vilāsa prabhu truly said, that Māyāpur is incomplete, is incomplete, is incomplete without you. It is like we cannot imagine Šrī Māyāpur Dhāma without transcendental pastimes of Šrī Šrī Nitai Gauranga.

               Last year you started TOVP Daily Victory Flag Tradition, which will represent the victory of Šrīla Prabhupāda and will continue for generations to come. On Akshaya Tritiya, the most auspicious day of giving, you sponsored Flag above the central dome, and you invited us to participate in this tradition. I was thinking, that will be very nice, if in the same Akshaya Tritiya day, together with your Flag, on TOVP will rise also Flags from two of your disciples – from me and my husband, Mādhava Prēma dāsa, who left his body on 2010. So I decided to take this historical opportunity to please you and I sponsored Flags on both small domes.

               After that these two Flags were giving back to me, and I sent them to good friend, Amala Prītī devī dāsī (devotee of HH Niranjana Svāmī), in my native country, Latvia. One Flag for the house of her with family - daughter Lalita Gopika devī dāsī (disciple of HH Radhanātha Svāmī) with her husband Urukrama dāsa (disciple of HH Bhakti Bringa Govinda Svāmī), where live beautiful big Deities of Jagannātha, Baladēva and Subhadra. Other Flag, I hope, one day will rise above my and my husbands country house, which now is under the care of Girirāja prabhu (devotee of Čaitanya Čandra Čarana Maharāja) together with others. Little by little they are renovating it for service to the Lord Šrī Krsna.

                 Now my body is 66 years old and I cannot be very active. I do my sadhana, serve to my Deities (Nitai Gauranga, Gopāla and Nrisimhadeva), attend Temple programs, study Srila Prabhupada’s, your’s and other devotee’s books, preach Krsna consciousness on Facebook, where are also my carmic friends from my native town Talsi, from school and from University. I stay in contact with my friends in Latvia, who publish the Krishna conscious magazine “RASA” in both Latvian and Russian languages under guidance of Višvavāsu prabhu (disciple of HH Niranjana Svāmī). I am thankful to him, because he helped me to return back to Šrī Māyāpur Dhāma. I keep my preaching work in this magazine. In every second issue there is my article also.

                When you was very sick, before the surgery, I came to Māyāpur and started to chant extra sixteen rounds of Mahamantra before the Deities in Temple, so trying to help you. Now I am happy to see, that your health become better and better, but I will not stop my chanting for you. Please, teach me and let me always stay under the shade of your lotus feet. Thank you, dear Gurudeva! I wish you good health in nonstop service to Šrīla Prabhupāda and Šrī Šrī Nitai Gauranga! Rādhā Mādhava kī-jaya! Gurudeva kī-jaya!

Your insignificant devotee Audārya Dhāma devī dāsī (diksa) from Šrī Māyāpur, India.

This year we are celebrating 71st appearance celebration.

Presence of Guru Maharaj brings a lot of auspiciousness to our lives.

The biggest moment in my life had been when Guru Maharaj accepted me as his sheltered disciple. Thank you so much Guru Maharaj for accepting such a lazy and insincere person. If you would have not accepted me, I would have continued to live in darkness. This shows that how a pure devotee of Krishna is compassionate upon fallen conditioned soul like me. Whatever Krishna consciousness I am practicing today is only and only due to the prayers of Guru Maharaj.

Guru Maharaj, you are the biggest inspiration in my life. Despite all odds you never compromised on the instructions which you got from Srila Prabhupada. Till today you speak of them, It shows that how deeply you have imbibed those and implemented in your life. Your sincerity towards Srila Prabhupada is the biggest inspiration for me. You are devoid of any self-interest and living in this world just for the fulfilment of Srila Prabhupada's instruction and benefit of people in general. You gave us the perfect example of how one should make the order of the spiritual master one's life and soul. In your dealings, you manifest all the qualities of an ideal Vaisnava. Your every thought, word, and example is exactly according to the Sastras. In spite of thousands of followers, comfortable living conditions, receiving donations, etc., you always remained humble and pure devotee of Sri Krishna.

You are like a parent, Just like a child cannot grow up without the attentive guidance of his parents, one cannot learn to perform devotional service without the attentive guidance of the Spiritual Master. The ability to walk is born with a baby, and within a couple of years the child develops it with practice. Similarly, Krishna consciousness is eternally present within the conditioned soul but can only be realized when guided by a true representative of Lord Krishna like you Guru Maharaj. I see some hope in my spiritual life.

On this very auspicious day of vyasa puja, I would like to send my prayers for your well-being. May Lord Nrsimhadev protect you forever in the mission of Srila Prabhupada and shower you with mercy, So that you may lead us in the service of the Lord.

Currently, I am trying to assist a Gita Course in Kadugodi, Bangalore which is run by my able shiksha guru who is a brahmacari at ISKCON Whitefield, an extension of Sri Sri Narasimha Giridhari Temple Bangalore.

Maya is very strong Gurudev, I beg and pray at your lotus feet that my mind be fixed on executing your instructions. As each day passes, Kali-yuga is becoming more and more intense, I beg at your lotus feet that I may be able to constantly meditate upon your instructions. I hanker for that day to come when I will develop some devotional qualities for your pleasure.

Yours eternally,

Avinash P

Hare krishna Guru Maharaj,

Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotusfeet.

Maharaj this is my first homage to you.

This insinificant fool (me) is not qualified to glorify you because your glories are transcendental.

There are many glories of guru maharaj,out of them some touched my heart very deeply,

1.guru maharaj is the pionner for the preaching in bangladesh,when the truck came through a big hole in the ground maharaj placed a wooden plank on his head and coverd the hole , and  maharaj ask the devotee to drive over it.

2.even in the extreme conditions of health maharj used to come rajapur to listen the realisations from the parikrama devotees.

3.H.G. Amerendra pr is explaining how maharaj cared prji  family and also his relatives when they visited sridham mayapur.It shows maharaj is very sticked to the words of his spiritual master(caring the devotees who came to mayapur)

Among the many gifts by His Divine Grace A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupad you are the crest jewel to Iskcon .

Even though  maharaj helath is not good ,maharaj gives classes very enthusiastically and call the lord  name  “Gourangaaaaaa” which touchs my heart.

I pray to the lordships sri sri Radhamadhavji ,to give you good health.

There are many glories even a ocean of ink is not enough to describe 1% about maharaj.

As maharaj is very merciful he will bestow his causeless mercy on every one even on the sinner like me but I am not able to acces it.maharaj please give me strength to acces your mercy maharaj.

Maharaj please forgive me for my offences.

Always seeking your mercy,blessings:

My dear spiritual father,

Please accept my respectful obeisances unto your lotus feet on this very auspicious 71^st glorious Vyasa Puja of yours. Though I am not qualified to glorify your divine qualities, I take this opportunity for my purification.

I do not know where to start from, as every moment of your life is so inspiring. Anyone who gets even a momentary association of yours feel so happy to be in your association and is immediately inspired and gets spiritually inclined.

You have faced so many challenges time and again. Like the attack in 1989 in Spain, acquiring the land in Mayapur, dacoit attack in Mayapur, the stroke in 2008, the transplant in 2019 and so many more. But nothing stopped you from fulfilling the instructions of Srila Prabhupada, preaching and spreading Krsna Consciousness.

You are always engrossed in thinking of new ways to give Krsna Consciousness to others. You are using the social media to reach out to the large audience. Nothing stops you from preaching and inspiring people. During this difficult time of the corona pandemic, when everyone is in lockdown you are still inspiring everyone through your classes and motivating us by giving practical tips to be Krsna conscious.

Please give me strength so that I could give up the propensity for sense gratification and be firmly fixed in KC. Please bless me and my wife Gandarvi Gopika devi dasi that we could carry your mood of compassion of giving KC to many new pople. Please bless my daughter Ruchira Radhe that she could be a nice devotee.

We pray to the lordship Sri sri Jagannatha, Baladev and Subadra, Panchatatva, Radha Madhav and Narasinghadev for your good health and long life.

Dear Guru Maharaj,

Please accept our respectful obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

We are blessed to offer few words of glorification of a great Vaishnava like you on your vyasapuja day. 

You have happily embraced the opportunities in your life and accepted inconveniences at every moment of your life in a way that could please your spiritual master H.D.G A.C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. Seeing you, I had started learning that accepting inconveniences in life for the pleasure of guru is the greatest sacrifice a disciple can do. It is not easy to for conditioned soul covered by a body and mind to accept inconveniences. You have time and again transcended all these challenges and lived a life only for the service of Prabhupada. As you had said "Jayapataka's life is not his own. It's Prabhupada to do with as his own". Your whole life is a living example for how a disciple should dedicate his life in guru's service. You are a complete transcendental personality. You have defied the calculations / predictions of doctors and dragged your living with us only to serve your spiritual master. That's your great kindness upon us. When will I change? When will I stop giving excuses and embrace the inconvenience for your service? When will I offer myself to you at your service completely? When will that day come when loving service for you supersedes all the other of this world? That day I will be able to claim myself to be Jayapataka's. That day I will be able to humble myself at your feet with love for you filled in the heart. I assure you that I am working on self for it. I am struggling to change myself. Fighting against my conditioning. I am putting my efforts but I cannot do it all alone. I need your mercy. Please bless us that we will be able to preach Krishna Consciousness widely and be able to please you. Bless us that we will also carry the mood of yours which is non-different from that of Srila Prabhupada's (our parampara) while executing services for you. Please bless us that we will be able to do service to you without expecting any sort of name, fame, glory, respect, appreciation, etc. Seeking only for opportunities to serve you and your followers.

My dear Guru Maharaj,

Happy 71st Vyasa Puja!

O Gurudev, I couldn't have been more fortunate to have had my Vidyarambham sitting on your lap with you personally holding my hand and writing my first words with me.

Just like how a baby feels cozy and undisturbed from the world around her while sitting on her father's lap; I have always found warmth and security in your presence and those qualities reflected in your disciples that is my seniors and parents.

You gave me love for Gauranga and I am constantly overwhelmed over how grateful I should be for having your presence in my life. 

You spent more than a year, here in Chennai and now when I think of it, I deeply regret those days and chances I had when I didn't take advantage of your association seriously.

I now very badly want to compensate for all those times that I took things for granted and would do anything to help you in preaching the glories of Gauranga and distributing Shrila Prabhupada's books!

Last year on Nithyanandha trayodashi, you gave this undeserving soul shelter. I desire to get initiated in this sixteenth year of my life.

You're the epitome of mercy and I pray and ask permission from my heart that you accept me as your loyal servant who is desperate in being connected to the Parampara by being your sincere disciple.

Your eternal servant

Dear Gurumaharaj,

Please accept my humble obeisances unto the dust of your Lotus Feet wishing you a very happy 71st Vyasa Puja day celebrations.

Kindly accept the results of insignificant austerities I have taken knowingly or unknowingly in the Vraja Mandal Parikrama and Puri Parikrama for your well-being. I wish to see you dance in the TOVP before Gaurasundar, your heart and soul Gurumaharaj.

Countless efforts, unlimited mercy and unconditional loving care that has been flowing from you Gurumaharaj, all the conditioned souls are being flooded with Gauranga's loving devotional service. Accepting around 50,000 disciples is a clear manifestation of your love and compassion towards the fallen sous. You have been an exemplary personality standing as the senior Vaishnava Sanyasi completing your 50th Sannyasa Vyasapuja. I can never imagine your causeless mercy that I got shelter at your lotus feet. Your guidance is the oxygen for us to sustain in this material world until our journey back home is complete and even in spiritual world as an old friend.

You taught us by example the meaning of austerity which is to tolerate the influence of the senses by accepting things which are not comfortable for the body. The moment you are connected to Prabhupada till today the austerities which you are performing have been increasing every moment. You are at the spiritual platform but it is such a severe austerity for anyone to travel around the world in such bodily conditions. You made this possible to serve Srila Prabhupada in sending as many souls as possible back to Krishna. You surely wanted to take the whole world back to Krishna.

As in the guru mantra 'Nitai kripa pradayine', I received the blessings of Lord Nityananda padukas and I am so fortunate to carry padukas on my head. I firmly believe this happened only because of you Gurumaharaj. I experienced how I became free from one of my attachments when I got dust of your lotus feet on my head. All glories to the Vaishnava Pada Dhuli. I have again experienced how the mercy of dust of Lord Nityananda padukas have given me the strength to overcome minor tests and participate in the very auspicious Vraja Mandal Parikrama and Puri Parikrama 2019.

Although I went alone to the parikrama you never made me feel alone. In the beginning of the parikrama you appeared in my dream and blessed me with the Jagannath brush thrice. That has been my only source of energy to complete the parikrama. Thank you for being with me all the time Gurumaharaj. It's your mercy that will make us realise Krishna and I felt very close to Him during the parikrama hearing such a deep and ecstatic narrations of His pastimes. You have always protected me under Vaishnava association without which it's not possible to take such an austerity, but please forgive me for any offences I have committed before and during the parikrama.

By your grace I am blessed with the opportunity to serve you through JPS Media and has reached a milestone of 400 quotes designed and 40 lecture transcripts over a span of one and half year. Under the guidance of my siksha guru His Grace Ram Murari Das Prabhu I have been able to render media services at ISKCON Guntur for the pleasure of Their Lordships Sri Sri Sri Radha Krishnachandra, Jagannath Baladev Subhadra.

Seeking your blessings to intensify my service attitude towards Guru Krishna and to help you in spreading Krishna Consciousness.

Please forgive me Gurumaharaj if I have committed any offences in glorifying you.

All Glories to your Holiness

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada and Guru Parampara

All Glories to Sri Guru and Gauranga

Our names were missed out in the initiation ceremony during Your visit to Bangalore in October’19. We remember how You have reacted to our prayers when our leader brought up this to You. We never forgot those moments on how You have ensured that - concerns of the disciple are heard properly without compromising anything in this respect. Finally, You have bestowed a special Causeless mercy to this insignificant souls.

You are always best example of a true acharya and ever well-wisher of disciples. Your care for disciple’s prayers is always high and uncompromised. You have made us to understand that attachment to spiritual master’s lotus feet is only the best way to make spiritual advancement. His mercy fulfills all desires for spiritual perfection.

We are eternally indebted to You Srila Gurudev for having blessed us with the greatest thing in the universe without seeing our disqualifications and undeserving nature.

We pay our respectful obeisances unto Your divine lotus feet by billion and billions of time again and again for Your Causeless mercy for accepting us as Your disciple to serve Your mission to Srila Prabhupada.

Our sincere prayers to Sri Sri Radha Madhav, Sri Sri Jagannath Baladev, Subadramayi  and Sri Sri Narashima Dev to keep our spiritual master always in Good health and strength to continue his service unlimitedly unto Srila Prabhupada and his mission.

We beg to remain in Your service eternally.

HareKrishna Dear Srila GuruMaharaj,

               Please accept my respective obeisances at your divine lotus feet, all glories to Srila Prabhupada.

After so long time, I am offering vyasa puja offering to you. We do perform Vyasapuja festival and offering at Iskcon Phoenix temple every year, but I am missing your biggest Vyasapuja celebration at Mayapur dham. GuruMaharaj, I see your health condition, still you are serving your GuruMaharaj, Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and Sri RadhaMadhav. Eventhough I am far away from you, by seeing your seva and you are giving lectures on youtube and Facebook everyday, I am feeling that I am near you and not far from you. I became grihastha by your mercy. Now I understand very very well about grihastha life, and grihastha life is not very good for me. For example, everybody know fire, and they don’t put their hand on fire, but I put the hand on the fire. There are so many things to say about my family life, but I just desire to come back to Mayapur or Vrindavan to improve my Spiritual life and sadhana. By your causeless mercy, we have been doing our morning sadhana everyday morning from 5 AM to 9 AM and also we do evening puja and book reading from 6 PM to 7:30 PM, my sadhana is good and my work is very good. My Wife and I are reading Srimad Bhagavad Gita, Srimad Bhagavatham, Chaitany Charitamrta everyday by your causeless mercy, this makes me feel Anandham bhudhivardhanam every day and we are very happy spiritually. Even though we are in America, I feel Mahaprabhu is in my house when offering food to the Lordships and worshipping Him. And I feel our house is like temple, when we sing Vaishnava songs, we feel all the sadhus, sadgoswami, Guruparampara is present in my house. And the Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is not very far from me. This is the only reason that I am able to survive, otherwise it will be very very difficult for me. Please forgive me for all my offences at your divine lotus feet. I am hearing many many lectures from the Iskcon devotees especially Gauranga Prem Maharaj, you Participated in the celebration of 65^th Birthday of HH Gauranga Prema Maharaj and you gave a very nice lecture and encouraged your disciple HH Gauranga Prem Maharaj and all your desciples. This was very very encouraging to me, that is the reason I feel you are very near to me and you’re not far from me. Purity is the most important, you’re very pure, please bless me so that I can get the taste for pure loving devotional service.

You connected me, to our guru parampara, please bless me to understand the mood of you all so that I can serve with the same mood.

By your mercy I am able to be here in mayapur for the last 14months. Now I got the opportunity to study under HG Vidvan Gauranga prabhu, in his institution (which is going to be established soon)for few years, guru deva please suggest me some words on this.

Guru deva Bless my biological mother & sisters so that they can chant holy nameregularly in all circumstances.

71^st Vyasapuja offering 2020

My most beloved and respectful Gurumaharaja,

Please kindly accept my prostrated obeisances at the dust of your divine feet.

Gurumaharaja, on this most auspicious occasion of your 71^st divine appearance day, devotees from whole world are glorifying you. Chanting your divine glories and thus making unlimited progress in their lives. I am also trying to meditate upon some of your transcendental qualities, like a sparrow tries to take out some drops of water from an ocean. I heard from a Vaisnava that, a good disciple should celebrate the Vyasapuja of one’s Spiritual Master every day by meditating upon the transcendental qualities of the Guru and simply glorify them and aspire to live based on those qualities.

Gurumaharaja, You are the ocean of Vaisnava qualities. Your heart is the resting place of Lord Govinda. The non-envious nature of yours has occupied innumerable hearts of devotees. You are ajatashatravah, means one’s enemy has not born. You never consider anyone as your enemy.You are always free from criticism, nindadisunyam. You never like to hear criticism. As a part of your service to Srila Prabhupada or his mission, you may have to hear from others, but you never like to. In the management you are so perfect ati daksha, that you can do everything without hurting anyone. You are always focused to please Guru and Krishna. Your selfless attitude wins everyone’s heart and gives joy to everybody. Your love and respect towards your Gurudeva, Srila Prabhupada is so much that you are having so much pains in your body still you are continuing preaching and distributing the same teachings that you have received from your Gurudeva Srila Prabhupada. Gurumaharaja, You are given the title of ‘’Acharyapada’’ is very much befitting. Achayra means one who teaches by his own example and also means the previous Achayras. Pada means the lotus feet or blessings. There are many meaning of Acharyapada and all are befitting to you.

1. Acharyapada means- One who has taken shelter of the blessings of the previous acharyas.
2. Acharyapada means- One who is following the footsteps of the previous acharyas.
3. Acharyapada means- One who is distributing the same blessings in the form of Teachings of the previous acharyas to others. You have taken shelter of the previous acharyas, blessed and empowered by the previous acharyas and distributing Krishna Consciousness based on the teaching of the previous acharyas without any discrimination throughout the world.

Gurumaharaja, you are the live n practical example of the foundamental principle of Krishna Consciousness which is ‘’We are not this body but spirit soul’’. In this condition of your body still the way you are preaching is not possible by an ordinary person. Being in the ICU, you can think of other’s benefit is the proof of your natural kindness, jive daya. You are always poro dukhe dukhi. Being fully sense controlled, still you are dukhi just because of seeing our conditionings and short comings. Your concern for others, touches the hearts of others. One of the 26 Vaisnava qualities is Kavi, means one who can express his feelings through writings. You expressed your gratitude towards Srila Prabhupada through the poem ‘’yadi prabhupada na hoito tabe ki hoito, e jibon bohito kishe, How it would be if Prabhupada had not been there, how the life would have spent. When one is very much realized and his heart is filled with the love and gratitude for the Lord, he is excited to express it to others. Even in this condition you are still writing the glories of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu in the form of a book named Caitanya, its nothing but simply your feeling of ecstacy, Pure Love for the Lord Caitanya.

Gurumaharaja, I am feeling a great need of your blessings to be able to access your mercy in the form of Divine instructions and value them by taking them seriously and following them lovingly. My good wife Rameshwari is carrying 8 months pregnancy and trying her best to practice Krishna Consciousness, kindly bestow your divine mercy upon us so that we can take and do the responsibility with service attitude and can set an example of good parents to the would be coming child.

I thank you thousands of times for bestowing your limitless and countless mercy upon me.

All glories to You Gurumaharaja.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

All glories to Sri Gauranga Mahaprabhu and Nityananda Prabhu.

Dear Srila Gurudeva!

Please accept my respectful obeisances! All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I consider this as a great opportunity & great fortune in my life to glorify the whole parampara through Your Divine Grace on your auspicious appearance day!

This year it’s very unique for all the disciples and well-wishers all over the world that they all would be part of this Maha Vyasa Puja wherein more than 50000 Vyasa puja celebrations will be observed in every disciple and well-wishers’ houses alongside their whole family! Never has there been such a great opportunity to glorify Srila Prabhupada and the whole Gaudiya Vaishnava sampradaya and spread Krishna Consciousness!

None would have had 50000 Plus Vyasa Puja celebrations on this planet at the same time! This will be another glorious history of Srila Prabhupada’s Victory Flag!!!

Being the recipient of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhus mercy, I can’t fathom the great opportunity you opened up for me to be part of this great pastime of serving you in your service to Srila Prabhupada!

I did not have the fortune of associating with Srila Prabhupada when he was present on this planet, however I consider coming in contact with you a greater fortune for me as I could understand Srila Prabhupada much more than what I could have comprehended during his presence. In understanding this pastime one thing which stands out clear is that Srila Prabhupada had great love for his Guru and that’s what we see you reflecting all the time by studying your life of devotion to Srila Prabhupada. Like father like son!

Many lessons I learnt about Srila Prabhupada and many more I’m trying to learn from you. Out of the many lessons you gave me, few really touched and transformed me during this year!

Lesson one!

Srila Prabhupada all the time demonstrated that he is not the body and an eternal spirit soul by freely distributing the mercy of Sri Sri Nitai Gaur not worrying about many physical challenges he had to undergo due to his advanced age.  You by your personal example prove to the whole world what it means to be “You are not the body”. In my limited knowledge and experience, I have never come across any person, who has undergone so many challenges to his body has become more selfless than you! Like Srila Prabhupada all the time carrying his compassionate heart in delivering the conditioned souls, you similarly demonstrating your love and care for the devotees and non-devotees alike. Your heartbeat always sounds “Nitai Gaur! Nitai Gaur! Nitai Gaur” instead of “Lub – Dub”. Like father like son!

Lesson two!

Srila Prabhupada demonstrated by practical example how Krishna is time. Srila Prabhupada hardly slept and translated books and was giving instructions how to spread this message of Godhead and save the people from the ill effects of kali by spending all his time in full Krishna Consciousness. You, under this current body conditions also demonstrating how time is invaluable and it must be fully used in Krishna’s service by giving your association to anyone and everyone. Last year we could realize this mood of yours by taking up a global travel after your transplant not wanting to waste even a single minute without serving the Lord or His wonderful devotees! Like father like son!

Lesson three!

Srila Prabhupada was always available to his disciples guiding them during ordinary times and at the time of crisis either personal or organization. Always providing spiritual solutions to their material challenges. We could realize with your fragile health condition; you are available for the whole world to uplift them from material sufferings. The whole world is distancing from the problems, you seem to be daring and going more closer to the people to uplift them from the miserable material existence like how Srila Prabhupada who took a daring decision to spread Krishna Consciousness by travelling to the West!  Like father like son!

Lesson four!

Srila Prabhupada demonstrated the sense of urgency in giving Krishna Consciousness to the whole world. To achieve this, Srila Prabhupada used all the available modern technology solutions to turns things faster, like using the Dictaphone to translate the books faster to ensure that the books are available to everyone immediately. You Srila Gurudeva, feeling the sense of urgency and wanting to reach as many suffering souls of this world as possible use all the available technology and tools to ensure somehow or other Krishna Consciousness reach them faster considering other’s inability to reach Krishna! Like father like son!

I feel so miserable and useless that for such an illustrious grandfather and father, I’m such a disgrace!

None can be more merciful than you, despite knowing the fact I’m blind and lame still you find a way to engage me in Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s service. I don’t know when I will be able to clear this eternal debt to you!

One thing comes out very clearly & strongly in my heart; that is if you are not merciful upon me, I don’t think anyone else in the three worlds would shower their mercy on a person like me! I become speechless when I realize how fortunate I am! At the same time, I feel devastated and hopeless when I realize that I’m not showing my gratitude by seriously taking up this Krishna Conscious process and help you to serve Srila Prabhupada!

Every time I see you and associate  with you even for a moment, I realize the power of thunder charging me with so much spiritual energy but due  my material desires and attachments, I fail to retain the energy and advance in my Krishna Conscious endeavour!

I feel so depressed being useless to receive your mercy, but at the same time I don’t have any alternative as I heard that you are an associate of Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and one can’t find anyone more merciful than you!

Like a lame man who is attracted to honey! I understand that I don’t have any qualification to come near you, but somehow a small desire within my heart is awakening and strongly attracted to your lotus feet. Please shower your mercy and I don’t have any other hope!

Whether I’m eligible or not, qualified or not, my only desire is to serve you till my last breath! Kindly bestow this benediction upon me!

I don’t want to miss out on this great opportunity of obtaining your mercy! I realize you have specifically appeared in this material world to uplift the fallen condition souls as part of your mission in Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s mission!

On this auspicious day! Please bless Rasamayi DD and Cidananda Nimai Das that as a family we eternally serve you in your service to Srila Prabhupada!

I would also like you to bless all devotees and their families who are connected with New Rajapur Jagannatha Dham, Bengaluru.

Hare krishna querido guru maharaj , por favor aceite minhas humildes e respeitosas

reverência.

Todas as glórias a esse grandíssimo e auspicioso dia , o aparecimento de um

vaishnava de primeira classe, que veio resgatar seus irmãos que estão  esquecidos do

senhor Krishna . Sua Santidade é um exemplo , um verdadeiro acarya,um ghostianandi

perfeito,  repleto de entusiasmo e compaixão para com todas as entidades vivas. Sua

Santidade  não mede esforços para salvar as almas adormecidad do colo da bruxa maya.

 Sua Santidade  compôs a canção para Srila Prabhupada, quantas coisas ganhamos pela

vinda dele . Mas podemos nos perguntar a mesma pergunta em relação a sua Santidade.

Mayapur ? Nama hatta ? Bhakti vriksha? Nabadwip mandala parikrama ? quanto serviço

Sua Santidade vem prestando para Guru e Gouranga ?quanta inspiração traz ao coração

de todos os devotos? Quanta devocao e firme fe nas palavras do Guru E krishna?  um

pilar inquebrável da iskcon !

Acho que não consigo escrever todas as suas glórias nem se escrevesse por um dia

inteiro. Muito obrigado pela misericórdia sem causa de ter me aceitado como seu

filho espiritual,  espero poder retribuir-lo  algum dia .

Por favor me abençoe para que possa servir a Guru e krishna sinceramente.

Dear Guru Maharaj,

Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories to you and your world-wide (Traveling)preaching.

The spiritual master is receiving benediction from the ocean of mercy. Just as a cloud pours water on a forest fire to extinguish it, so the spiritual master delivers the materially afflicted world by extinguishing the blazing fire of material existence. I offer my respectful obeisances unto the lotus feet of such a spiritual master, who is an ocean of auspicious qualities.

On this most auspicious day of your 71st Vyāsa-pūjā celebration, I want to express my gratitude for your unlimited mercy. If not for your causeless mercy, we would be rotting in the endless cycle of birth and death. Actually, I have no qualification at all to glorify you, but it is my duty to offer this homage. Even though it is impossible to glorify you adequately, please be merciful and accept it. 

Taking the shelter of your lotus feet is the only way out of this hellish condition of life.

I am born in the darkness of this material world. It is only due to your causeless mercy that you have taken me as your disciple. O Gurudeva, how can I repay my debt to you? Indeed, I can’t: my debt to you will never be paid off. 

Whenever we hear about your day-to-day activities, we get more inspiration and enlightenment that keeps us in Krishna Consciousness.

Simply by seeing you, any sinful person is purified. And by placing your footsteps upon this world, Mother Earth becomes purified of the heavy sins committed by evil men like myself.

You are a jewel of this world. May I take shelter under your lotus feet, O Gurudeva. Please be kind and splash a drop of your mercy upon us. Please cast your merciful glance upon us so that our lives will be successful.

O Gurudeva, may your glories be echoed throughout the three worlds!

Your insignificant servant,

Dear Guru Maharaj kindly accept my respectful obeisances at the dust of your lotus feet ! All glories to Srila Prabhupada! All glories to your auspicious appearance day! 

 I  find myself totally unqualified to glorify your transcendental qualities. Kindly forgive my mistakes considering  this as  my first attempt at Vyasapuja offering !

Srila Prabhupada travelled around the world to preach Krishna Consciousness and at the same time prepared his disciples to continue his mission after his physical disappearance.  At times I used to feel little  disappointed thinking why  Srila Prabhupada did not come to Assam. Why  the people of Assam and North East India were bereft of the mercy of  a pure devotee! But then I realised Srila Prabhupada let  his disciples  complete his unfinished work. And  you , dear Guru Maharaj, so kindly taken us ,  the people of Assam and other states of North East India , under the shelter of your divine lotus feet !  It is by your mercy alone  that the   ignorance of the people of this part of India is slowly melting away and the light of Krishna Consciousness is  dawning in our hearts!   I bow down at your lotus feet millions of times out of gratitude for saving us  !  Although you  started your mission in Assam long time ago, but  I am so fallen that I could take your shelter only recently.  I pray at your lotus feet that with your mercy I may qualify myself soon to be accepted  as  your diksha disciple . 

Srila Narottam Das thakur has said  about Vaishnava that " Gangara parasha hoile paschaate paavana, Darshane pavitra karo ei tomara guna" ( One gets purified after touching the water of Ganga, but the power of a Vaishnava is that just by taking his darshan a person gets purified)  

Dear Guru Maharaj, you have been very kindly purifying us with your  Darshan everyday online , showering  your mercy as well as distributing nectar of Gaura katha.  We sometimes  worry about your health and feel that you  need to take more rest,  But you  have never  let your physical discomfort come in the way of  distributing your mercy!   Srila Prabhupada said, previously you had been an associate of Nityanada Prabhu , whose mercy is unfathomable like an ocean, beyond imagination!  We consider ourselves very fortunate to see  glimpse  of that mercy of  Nityanada Prabhu through your merciful heart !  

Dear Guru Maharaj the world needs your physical presence for a long  time  to uplift many more fallen souls like me. Kindly take care of your health for the sake of all those who need you! I  pray at the lotus feet of Shri Nrisinghadev and Srila Prabhupada for bestowing you a   long and healthy life ! 

"Sri Guru charane rati ei se uttama gati" ( The ultimate fulfilment of all desires can be achieved by being attached to the lotus feet of Guru) . Kindly bless me  that I may be able to fix my mind at serving  your lotus feet with a humble heart. 

Srlia Jayapataka Swami Guru Maharaj ki Jai !!

Please bless me to be always in Krishna Conscious. Without your mercy, It is never possible to progress in devotion. I am facing a lot of troubles and deviation in this material world. kindly protect me from all those unwanted people and mishaps who/which would deviate me from my devotional life. I always want to serve you and Srila Prabhupada. Kindly keep me under the shadow of your lotus feet and protect me. I am chanting two rounds. Only with your mercy I will develop a desire to chant more.

Dear Guru Maharaja,

Please accept my respectful obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to Your Divine Grace. All glories to your auspicious appearance day.

Gurudev, you are my spiritual father, my best friend and guide. Getting initiated by you in 2007 in Krishna Katha Desh (Doha, Qatar) has been my greatest fortune. Your compassion knows no bounds, Gurudev. No words can describe your glory, your great dedication to Srila Prabhupada and your tireless efforts in rescuing the conditioned souls stuck in material mire. Thank you for being with us as our inspiration and guide. 

Inspired by your praise for Srila Prabhupada, I have written a small poem for your pleasure and glorification Gurudev. It is full of faults and errors Gurudev, but kindly accept it as an insignificant offering at your lotus feet on the occassion of your Vyas Puja.

I try to do some little services for your pleasure Gurudev, book distribution being one of them. By your mercy and blessings, my prabhu (Sree Kumar Datta, aspiring) and I have distributed Bhagavad-gita to Thane Central Jail, old age homes, to the weaker sections of society, friends, relatives and others. For your pleasure, we have donated Srimad Bhagavatam sets during Bhadra month and Book Marathon. I sometimes write for Back To Godhead magazine (sample attached) and also for the Janmashtami Souvenir of the local congregation. I participate and serve in the programs of the local congregation and every Thursday some devotees come to our place and we discuss "Teachings of Lord Chaitanya". These insignificant little services are not due to my efforts Gurudev, but entirely due to your mercy. I offer them unto your lotus feet.  All glories to you and Srila Prabhupada.  

I need your mercy and blessings Gurudev, to continue my service to please you and Srila Prabhupada.

Thanking you for everything Gurudev,

Please accept my Respectful obediences at the dust of your Divine Lotus Feet.

All Glories to Jagat Guru HDG Srila Prabhupada !

All Glories to your appearance day.

It is my immense pleasure to offer Vyasa Puja offering to you dear Srila Acaryapada 

Guru Maharaja, especially on your 71st appearance day. This year is also your 51 years of your Sanyas  Celebration.

Guru Maharaj, We will be celebrating your 51 years of Golden Sanyas anniversary on Radhastami 26 th August 2020. Guru Maharaj you are the Crest Jewel of renunciate, "Nyasi Chudamani".

Guru Maharaj you are adorned with Kavacha/Shield of numerous instructions given to by Jagat Guru HDG Srila Prabhupada.

You are fulfilling those instruction skill fully, and engaging us all in this Divine process of Bhakti Yoga.

You have declared that you are infected with serious infection of giving out Sri Gauranga Prem to new souls you meet. There is no limit to your infection, once infected there is no antidote for this infection, and once infected, one becomes Eternal victim of Gauranga Prema.

This year on your pilgrimage to Dacca birth place of many exhallted Parampara Guru 

You gave initiation to 2000 disciples, completing Srila Prabhupada's instruction to make 50,000 disciples. Nothing stops you, you continue to attract more new Souls who you are infecting to become Gauranga Bhaktas.

Also you have been continuing in developing Navadvip Dham, and this year, ISKCON has acquired land in each of the Nine Island. A Victory Jayapataka Flag erected in each Dvipa. Master Plan is to build school on each island. Where children will be learning to practice Krishna Conscious. 

HDG Srila Prabhupada  instruction to you is " I give you Kingdom of God you develop it" This year,  TOVP Pujari Floor was opened on 13 th February 2020.

Guru Maharaj post your Liver & kidney transplant you have continued to preach all over the world, you visited  5 continents, enthusing and nurturing devotees  and disciples and preaching Gaura Lila.

I feel very fortunate to be a Nitya Seva sponsor for Jayapataka Flag for all three Domes of TOVP on your every Appearance Day ( Kamada  Ekadasi ).

Guru Maharaj you are our great Victory  !  Victory Flag 

All Glories to your staunch service in serving Srila Prabhupada. 

Begging to remain your Eternal servant,

Please accept my humble and respectful obeisance unto Your lotus feet!

My dear Spiritual Father,

This is my second homage unto You Gurudev! I am not qualified to glorify You and Your service determination and Your way of following instructions of Your spiritual master – Srila Prabhupada. Your wonderful determination in preaching and spreading the Hare Krishna Movement in spite of Your health challenges inspires me and Your followers a lot. It makes me feel so very fortunate that we are in the lineage of Srila Prabupapda under Your divine guidance. May this legacy continue to all the fallen souls and may all be blessed and become receiver of Your causeless mercy and help You in spreading Krishna Consciousness movement ahead.

Srila Prabhupada will be so very pleased by Your service attitude that You carry the mood of giving Gaura Prema to many and many either personally or through Your online classes.  I am amazed to hear Your Love for devotees in this situation of coronavirus which is affecting the entire world, is converted to Parama Kaurna Virus as said by You Gurudev.

Oh Vaishvana Thakura! This world of spiritual family created by Srila Prabhupada is growing with Your special guidance and will continue to grow and expand with Your love and care for all human Kind.

Please accept me as an instrument in Your mission, let this life time be only in serving You and Your instruction Gurumaharaj.  Thank You very much for all Your love and mercy Gurumaharaj, Please accept my homage offering and this fallen soul in Your dust of Your Louts feet.

Unqualified and useless aspiring soul

All glories unto the dust of your lotus feet dear Guru Maharaj . All glories to your auspicious appearance day. I am an aspiring disciple of yours since 2017 from Jamshedpur medical college .You are incredible and unstoppable . I remember last year Kartik when you returned to Mayapur . Coincidentally I stepped out of the temple and was astonished to see you in the van . The window side you were facing was towards the temple . Thus I had the privilege to have your holy darshan and that too in Kartik . Guru Maharaj I had tears rolling down my eyes . I just couldn't believe the two ends of spectrum so contrasting . On one end I am so falling like anything and on the other hand you are so so so merciful . Your pastimes lift up my spirit . Your association and Krsna consciousness is the best thing that has ever happened to me . When I first met you I was instructed by you to go deep in bhakti but I didn't do anything extra to follow this . I hope someday I will do it for sure.

I had an intense desire to bring my family to Mayapur Dham especially my maternal grandmother . Unfortunately she passed away on 7th February this year . Please bless her soul to engage her in devotional service where so ever she may go . Please ask Krsna to keep her under his special protection . 

Guru Maharaj I have copied some lines composed by one of your disciple .                                                      "Jahara prasade pushta hoilo , , sirno bhakti latika ,,, janme janme mor gurudev ,, rahe jeno srila Jayapataka . " This is my humble desire and request to my supreme father Sri Krishna . 

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj,

Please accept my respectful obeisance.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I am your newly born child, you named me Devapalaka Nitai Das. Thank you so much for accepting the most sinful and full of bad quality animal as your child.

Still I am trying to find enjoyment from material objects, although I know this not the way searching enjoyment in this material world only serving Guru and Gauranga can give actual peace in this material world. I always remember your analogy in Bengali -" Gache kathal gophe tail" and you said just simple understanding Soul and thinks ourself perfect and takes things very granted in spiritual life. Getting the fruit of devotion service need long way to go.

Please bless me in this auspicious day, so maximum of time krishna gave me in the body , I can connect with his internal energy and  from my very heart of heart serve devotees , Guru and Nitai Gauranga.

I also pray to Gauranga , you stay very healthy and inspire all of us and save us from all danger. 

Your Newly born Son,

ভাগ্যবলে তাঁর কৃপা  জন্মে জন্মে পাই ।।

পতিতপাবন তিনি উদ্ধারিয়া মোরে ।

লইলেন মোর পাপ আপন শরীরে ।।

সব দোষ ক্ষমা করি দিলেন আশ্রয় ।

তাঁর কথা  লিখি মোর শক্তি কিবা হয়।।

বৈষ্ণব কৃপায় যেন এই শক্তি ধরি।

বন্দি গুরুচরণপদ্ম নিত্য বুকে ধরি।।

গুরুমুখপদ্মবাক্য করিয়া স্মরণ।

ত্রিসন্ধ্যায় করি তাঁহার যশকীর্তন ।।

মূর্খ আমি কিবা তাঁর করিব বর্ণন।

লভিয়া চরণছায়া জিনিব মরণ ।।

এত বলি মুকুন্দ  দাস করি জয়ধ্বনি।

জন্মে জন্মে গুরু মোর জয়পতাকা স্বামী।। 

হে পতিতপাবন আচার্য শ্রীল গুরুমহারাজ, 

আপনার শ্রীচরণপদ্মে অনন্তকোটি দণ্ডবৎ প্রণাম। আপনার মহিমা বর্ণনা করার শক্তি আমার মত পতিতের নেই। আপনি কৃপা করে আমার সমস্ত পাপরাশি আপনার শরীরে ধারণ করে আমাকে পাপমুক্ত করেন। আপনার কৃপা ভিন্ন আমার এই জীবন অনর্থ। যখন যখন আমি দিশাহীন হই, ভক্তিজীবনে কিছু অনর্থ প্রবেশ করে আপনি অন্তর্যামী হয়ে আমাকে উদ্ধার করেন। এই জড়জীবনের যন্ত্রণায় কাতর হয়ে যখন আমি আধ্যাত্মিক জীবনের অনুসন্ধান করছিলাম, তখন আপনার অনন্ত কৃপায় আমার নিকট আপনার প্রতিনিধি শ্রীপাদ শ্রীনিবাস গোপাল দাস প্রভুকে আমার নিকট প্রেরণ করেন এবং আমাকে মায়াবাদের  কবল  থেকে উদ্ধার করেন। আপনার করুণার সীমা নেই। আপনার গুণকীর্তন করার কিইবা শক্তি আমার আছে? যখনই আমার ভিতরে কোন পাপের আবির্ভাব হয় আপনি তৎক্ষণাৎ তা গ্রহণ করে আমায় উদ্ধার করেন। আপনার হাজার হাজার মহৎ শিষ্যের মধ্যে আমি একজন ক্ষুদ্র কীটের ন্যায়। আপনার কৃপালাভ করে সকলেই ধন্য ধন্য। আপনার চরণাশ্রয়ে থাকতে পেরে সকলেই নির্বিঘ্ন অনুভব করে। আপনার কৃপায় আমি আপনার চরণছায়ায় থেকে নিত্য আপনার চরণদর্শন করি। আপনার কৃপা আশীর্বাদে আমি যেন ইস্কনের সেবায় আমার পরবর্তী জীবন সমর্পণ করতে সমর্থ হই।

আপনার শ্রীচরনাশ্রিত

দেবপতি মুকুন্দ দাস।

My Dearest Guru Maharaj,
Please accept my most respectful obeisances at your lotus feet. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. 
With all the love in my heart, I would like to wish you a very Happy Vyasapuja. 

As all of your disciples watch the festivities and glorification from online, we may not be there in person, but we are most definitely there in spirit. This year, the pandemic lockdown may have changed many things, but it can never change the utmost love and gratitude that we have for you, our dear spiritual Father. It has actually taught us surrender and detachment, as well as appreciation for many things we take for granted, like the association of devotees. And most of all, as you have mentioned in your classes, how the chanting of the Holy Name is the only way to save the world. 

You are our hope, Guru Maharaj, our guiding star, and our commander in chief, leading us out of harm's way. 
We owe everything to you, Guru Maharaj, and pray that one day we can attempt to somehow repay you in service to Srila Prabhupada. 

Begging to remain at the dust of your lotus feet, 
Your servant and spiritual daughter,

ஹரே கிருஷ்ணா குரு மஹராஜ் ,

வணக்கம். உங்களை பார்க்க வேண்டும்.உங்கள் 51வது வியாச பூஜையில் கலந்து கொள்ள வேண்டும். உங்களிடம் தீட்சை பெற வேண்டும் என்று எனக்கு மிகவும் விருப்பம் குரு மஹராஜ். உங்கள் கருணையால் இதை எல்லாம் செய்து தாருங்கள்.

நீங்கள் நலமாக இருக்கிறீர்களா? எங்கள் மீது கருணை கொண்டு உங்கள் உடல் நலத்தை கிருஷ்ணர் நல்லபடியாக வைத்து கொள்ளட்டும் குரு மஹராஜ்.

நான் தேவி , என் மகன் குரு  சரண் உடன் வாழ்ந்து வருகிறேன். நான் உங்கள் முன்பு ஜெப மாலையை வைத்து தினமும் 16 மாலை நாம ஜபம் செய்ய வைத்து விடுங்கள் என்று வேண்டுகோள் வைத்திலிருந்து 16 மாலை தடையின்றி அதிகாலையில் செய்ய கருணை புரிந்துள்ளீர்கள்.

3 மாதங்களுக்கு முன்பு எனக்கு ஒரு விபத்து ஏற்பட்டு அதிக காயம் ஏற்பட்டது. நரசிம்மரின் கருணையால் வெளிவந்து கொண்டு வருகிறேன்.

இந்த நிகழ்வுக்கு பிறகு பக்தி விருக்ஷ வகுப்பில் பங்கு பெற வாய்ப்பு கிடைத்துள்ளது. நிறைய தெளிவு கிடைப்பது போல உள்ளது. பக்தி யோகம் பயிற்சி செய்ய தங்கள் கருணை வேண்டும் குரு மஹராஜ்

இன்று திரும்ப எனக்கு விபத்து ஏற்பட்டுள்ளது. எந்த ஒரு நிலையிலும் கிருஷ்ண உணர்வை பின்பற்ற நீங்களே எங்களின்  வழிகாட்டி. எந்த நிலையிலும் கிருஷ்ண உணர்வை பின் தொடர்ந்து நிலைத்து நிற்க குரு மஹராஜ் உங்கள் கருணை எங்கள் மீது வேண்டும்.

எனது மகன் குரு சரண் பலருக்கு கிருஷ்ண உணர்வை பரப்ப பிரச்சாரம் செய்து பக்தியில் நிலைத்து நிற்க வேண்டும் என்பது உங்கள் கருணையால் நடக்க வேண்டும்.ஆசீர்வாதம் செய்யுங்கள் குரு மஹராஜ்.

உங்கள் வியாச பூஜையில் கலந்து கொண்டு உங்களிடம் தீட்சை பெற வேண்டும் என்று மிகவும் விருப்பம் குரு  மஹராஜ். ஆனால் வர முடியுமா? தெரியவில்லை. ஆனாலும் வர வேண்டி டிக்கட் புக் செய்துவிட்டு பொறுப்பையும் உங்களிடம் விட்டுவிட்டேன். நான் வந்து பங்கு பெற எனக்கு எல்லா சூழல்களையும் சாதகமாக செய்து தாருங்கள் என்று உங்களிடம் கேட்டிருந்தேன். அதற்கான அறிகுறிகளை இப்போது நான் உணர்கிறேன்.வீழ்ந்தப்பட்ட ஆத்மா நான் , தயவு கூர்ந்து என்னை கிருஷ்ணரின் பாதத்திற்கு  அழைத்து செல்லுங்கள்.

கிருஷ்ண உணர்வை பரப்ப ஞானத்தை அருளுங்கள்.அனைத்து ஞானத்தையும் சரிவர மற்ற  ஆத்மாக்களுக்கு கொண்டு செல்ல துணை புரியுங்கள் குரு மஹாராஜ் . எங்களின் ஒளி விளக்கு நீங்கள் தான்.

குரு மஹாராஜ் குரு சரணுடன் கௌர நித்தாய் என மூன்று குழந்தைகள் வீட்டில் உள்ளனர். நாங்கள் தனியாக இல்லை கௌர நித்தாயுடன் நீங்கள் 4 பேர் என்று சேவானந்தி மாதாஜியும் கௌரங்க பிரசாத் பிரபுவும் அவர்கள் இருவரையும் எங்கள் வீட்டில் விட்டு சென்றனர்.

உங்கள் கருணையால் தினமும், மங்கள் ஆரத்தி , துளசி, நரசிம்ம ஆரத்தி நாம ஜபம், பகவத் கீதை, பாகவதம் என்று பக்தியால் ஒவ்வொரு நொடியும் பக்தியால் நிறைந்து உள்ளது போல் உணர்கிறோம் குரு மஹாராஜ் .

நாங்கள் ஜடப் பற்றுதலால் எந்த நிலையிலும் பக்தியில் இருந்து விலகாமல் உங்கள் கருணையால் கிருஷ்ண உணர்வில் வலுவுடன் நிற்க வேண்டும்.

குரு மஹாராஜ் கி ஜெய் !

தங்கள் கருணையை வேண்டி நிற்கும்

Sri Guru Maharaja!

Please accept my humble obeisances! All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

All glories to your auspicious appearance day!

           Om anjnana timirandhasya

           Jnananjana salakaya

           Chaksur unmilitam yena

           tasmaih sri-guruve namah.

Respected Guru Maharaj! I was suffering in the clutches of Maya and was destined to wander in the endless cycle of repeated birth and death until you rescued and saved me on that fortunate day in July 1980 (it was Ratha Yatra day) at Calcutta when Your Holiness bestowed mercy on this fallen conditioned soul and blessed me by giving harinama diksha. I still remember your instructions on that day - PREACH KRISHNA CONSCIOUSNESS.  

I have been earnestly following your instructions until today. I had to go to Nairobi - Kenya for job opportunities in Oct 1980 and I invited Your Holiness to visit Nairobi for ISKCON NAIROBI'S FIRST EVER RATH-YATRA in June 1985. I had the Privilege to associate and serve GURU MAHARAJA for about 3-4 days as your Holiness was staying at my home. I was blessed by Guru Maharaja and remembered this sloka from Chaitanya- Chairitamrta:-

              tate bhaje Krishna kare gurur sevana

              maya-jala chute paye krishnera charana

Lord Gaurahari instructed Sanatana Goswami to worship Krishna and continue rendering service to Guru, the spiritual master and become freed from Maya and  attain lotus feet of Krishna!

               Guru Maharaja, until today I keep on remembering my realisations and experiences of valuable time spent in at service and association of your Holiness. I also served as Temple President in Nairobi and Mombasa Temples for about 5 years and during this period, I got ample oportunity of Preaching and making devotees due to causeless mercy of your Holiness. I remember that whenever devotees from Mombasa used to visit Mayapur, your Holiness always remembered this fallen conditioned soul and asked my whereabouts.

               Due to Guru Maharaja's inspiration, I have written 9 books till todate as your Holiness inspired me to write more books on Bhagavad Gita & Bhagavatam after reading my First Book "HANDBOOK ON IMPORTANT VERSES OF BHAGAGWAD GITA", in 1999. Your Holiness had also given some important suggestions which I have tried to follow.

                I would seek personal darsan and association with Guru Maharaja which I have not been able to get since Calcutta Ratha yatra in July 1996. I am regularly following Daily lectures of your Holiness through pune JPS whatsapp circulation and eagerly awaiting your Holiness visit to Pune in October 2020.

               I always PRAY to Lord Nrisimha and Lord Shri Krishna

 to keep you in good health as we in ISKCON need your guidance and leadership for preaching Krishna consciousness all over the world. 

               Begging for mercy at your lotus feet,

Dear Gurudev

Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

You live to see the dreams of previous acaryas manifest. To see the desires of Srila Prabhupada fulfilled is your life’s mission. In this journey, the predictions of Srila Prabhupada about you are coming true which seemed earlier impossible. Recently, the milestone of 50,000 disciples is achieved. In spite of so many disciples and followers, the care provided by you to all devotees is unimaginable. In one of your statements you told: “for spreading Krishna consciousness, Krishna will provide all the material requisites.” You are the live example of utilizing the material requisites in the preaching service in the best way.

I am feeling unworthy to write the offering to you because I am not able to give sufficient consciousness in carrying out your instructions. Somehow or other out of great fortune I have been introduced to Krishna consciousness by wonderful devotees. I am very much grateful to the devotees you sent for me when I had no other hope I remember.

Currently, I am trying to assist devotees in preaching youths of different colleges in Durgapur for your pleasure. Please bless me with the strength to come out of my comfort zone and give my maximum in this service. I wish this service become my only pleasure.

Recently I heard realizations of devotees from different countries about Navadwip Mandal Parikrama. I am very much proud to have a real hero as you who is always anxious to see the devotees taken care of properly. I want to inculcate this quality at least a little drop of what you possess. You told in Rajapur “How many deities in the world are speaking to be served by ISKCON devotees?”. This statement gave me more faith and more determination to assist you in serving ISKCON. I am very much thankful to Sri Narsimha Deva for allowing us to continue hearing from you. I repeatedly pray to Sri Sri Radha Madhava AstaSakhi, Sri Sri Narsimhadev Prahalad Maharaj, Sri Sri Jagannatha Baladeva Subhadra, Sri Sri Pancatattva and Srila Prabhupada to keep you healthy always so that our spiritual health is maintained by your inspirations.

Dear Guru Maharaj, 

On this most auspicious appearance day of your Divine Grace, I offer my humble obeisances at the dust of your lotus feet. All glories to your divine grace. 

Many thanks for your example of surrender and service to Srila Prabhupada and Lord Caitanya’s mission.

Your untired service to Krishna and His devotees in-spite of your health condition does boost me when I am low or lazy in Krishna Consciousness

On online I have been watching Guru Maharaj's  videos added by devotees and it inspires me. Hare Krishna!!

Back home in Kerala I do attend classes every weekend as conducted in Iskcon Temple in Kannur , Guruvayoor or calicut, and do attend auspicious days--Janmashatami, Radha Ashtami, Balaram Jayanthi Narasimha Chaturdashi, and do follow the Ekadashi's -  other days I do it at home in Calicut (Arathi, chanting, Bhagavad  Gita, Bhagavatam)

Let me not be swept away by ignorance, selfishness, or pride.    

Guru Maharaj, I hope your Mercy to advance in Spiritual life will be with me always in spite of Maya attacking me.

Please help me Guru Maharaj

Dear Guru Maharaj,

Please accept my humble obeisance unto your lotus feet. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to you on this auspicious day of your vyasapuja.

I am your initiated daughter but I don't think myself to be qualified for your service. Whenever I look at you I can actually feel and realise that you cannot be an ordinary person. You are an extraordinary personality sent by lord Krishna for the sake of our lives. Your extraordinary power to preach harinama all over this world amaze me all the time. It is extremely blissful to hear Krishna Vani and kirtan from your auspicious mouth and the most remarkable  and my favourite is to watch you shout "Gauranga... Gauranga ". I can never thank God enough for having you as my leader. I shall always try to follow your path.

Your humble servant,

Minhas respeitosas e humildes reverências à seus pés de lótus meu querido

mestre espiritual. Hoje é um grande e auspicioso dia, pois é o dia em que

uma grande alma apareceu neste mundo material, com uma grande missão, dar

amor puro por Deus às almas caídas é condicionadas. O senhor é um grande

exemplo de humildade e compaixão, pois mesmo tendo que passar por inúmeras

dificuldades no decorrer de sua caminhada espiritual, nunca parou de servir

ao senhor Krishna. Isso sim é um Acarya, um devoto de primeira classe, que

nos inspira a servir mais e mais ao Senhor.

Todas as glórias ao aparecimento transcendental de guru maharaj, jayapataka

De sua aspirante a serva Bhaktin Gabriella

Nama Om Vishnu Padaya Krsna prestaya bhutale

Srimate Jayapataka Swamin iti namine

Nama Acharya padaya nitai kripa pradayine

Gaura katha dhama daya nagara grama tarine

Dearest Guru Maharaja,

Please accept my respectful obeisances at the dust of your Lotus feet. All glories to your auspicious appearance day. All glories to your Divine grace. All glories to Srila Prabhupada's victory flag. 

I have no qualification to describe your wonderful glories Gurudeva. But to get purified and seek your blessings i shall attempt to glorify your ocean like qualities. 

You are such an amazing sculptor Gurudeva. A stone hearted person like me who listens from you with faith and devotion gets sculpted into a wonderful statue and immediately takes up to the service in Srila Prabhupada's mission to please you. 

Alas! My anartha filled heart is only becoming harder day by day Gurudeva. My faith is so fluctuating. I know you are my only hope, your instructions are the only light in my dark life. But my laziness and offending mentality is pulling me down. Please Gurudeva i am swimming in this ocean of material suffering and i do not know of anyone who can lift me up other than you. 

You are always looking for opportunities to spread the love of Gauranga to everyone. This corona lockdown, you turned it into Karuna sagara. Everyone is drowning in spiritual bliss. You don't miss giving your association on Facebook no matter what health challenges you are facing. You are advising all of us to stay at home and stay safe. So much care! So much Love! More than what we can take. You are an ocean of love Gurudeva. That determination to preach, be it rain or shine. The determination that you have to please Srila Prabhupada is so mind boggling. Sometimes i am dumbstruck to see you so enthusiastic and so lively. I feel from where is this energy coming? No sign of illness, no trace of pain.  Just like how Hanuman had his Lords in his heart always, you have Gauranga in your heart always. You encourage every one to happily practice Krsna Consciousness. Please bless me with an iota of determination that you have to serve Srila Prabhupada. I really want to please you Gurudeva. O father, if you do not bestow your mercy upon me, who else will save me?

My mentors have always been instructing and guiding me spiritually. But this wicked mind of mine, doesn't let me accept their instructions. Gurudeva please bless me with the intelligence to accept that i am a fool. I want to follow the instructions of my mentors because i know that is what will please you the most. Please bless me not to question their instructions and to accept them as they are. I do not want to use my intelligence to follow their instructions. I just want to surrender Gurudeva.  

I have always been worrying about petty things and not been able to give my heart and soul to preach, Gurudeva. Instead of having the faith that Krishna provides, I am only meditating on my own needs selfishly and how to procure them. Dear father, please help me to chant offenselessly and attentively. For i know that is the only way i can get out of my anxiety. But that is possible only by your mercy. I, along with my husband (Bala Murari Das) and daughter (Ruchira Radhe) want to selflessly preach and please you dear father. My heart is fervent with the aspiration to please you by preaching but is over powered with the taunting games of my mind.

I wholeheartedly beg for your mercy on this auspicious day when you are most merciful. May your divine lotus feet be the only goal of my mind and heart. Let me not have any other aspirations other than pleasing you by following the instructions of my mentors. I only want the blessing that i render service to your lotus feet life after life in the association of devotees. For this blessing alone will take care of everything else in my life.

Dear Spiritual father ,

My humble obeisances to you.I am a very fortunate soul who got initated by your special mercy in the year 2004. Your caring attitude and mercy towards your disciples in spite of your illness and drawbacks and thinking about how to please your spiritual master Krishna and other vaishnavas are a real inspiration to all.  

My husband is hostile to Krishna conciousness but I do what I can to please my spiritual masters by distributing books prasadam and taking Bhagavad Gita class at home . Hopefully will be able to do better in the future. Dandavat pranaams.

हरे कृष्णा।

गुरु महाराज को हमारा दंडवत प्रणाम।

हम आपकी व्यास पूजा पर आपको विनीत प्रणाम अर्पित करते है।हमें अपने शिष्य के रूप मे अपनाकर आपने हम पर बहुत दया व कृपा की है।जन्म और मृत्यु के बंधन से मुक्त होने के लिए आपने हमे अपना दिव्य संग दिया है और चैतन्य महाप्रभु के चरणों में कैसे सेवा करनी है यह सिखाया है।

आप दया के असीम सागर है।जिस प्रकार हृदय में दया का सागर भरकर श्रील प्रभुपाद जी ने पतित जीवों पर कृपा की और अकेले ही पुरे विश्व में चैतन्य महाप्रभु के मिशन को बढ़ाया , उसी प्रकार आप भी दया के सागर है और पतित से पतित जीवों पर कृपा करके उनका उद्धार कर रहे है। उन्ही पतित आत्मओं में से हम भी है जो सिर्फ आपकी कृपा व प्राथना से ही भक्ति कर पा रहे है।

गुरु महाराज हम वचन देते है की हम भी आपका अनुसरण करते हुए गंभीरता से भक्ति करते हुए हृदय में दया भरकर उसे दूसरों में बांटेंगे और प्रभुपाद के मिशन को और आगे बढ़ाएंगे।बस हम पर आपकी कृपा बनी रहे।जय गुरुदेव

आपके शिष्य

Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj please accept my respectful obeisances.

I am very fortunate to have you in my life. Having you darshan is one of the best life experience in my life. I am not sure what I had done in my past life’s that I could get your association and other vaishnav sang. Then I realize that it is by devotees mercy, your mercy that a fallen soul like me could get such association. I have a lot of anrthas still devotees gives so much love, even your always with me,  how merciful You all are to me, I cannot share this in words. Since I am a girl I may not personally serve you Gurudev but I want to serve you by preaching. Without your blessings nothing is possible, so please bless me that I preach till my last breath, enthusiastically.

Right now with devotees and Your mercy I am taking 2 children’s class, also assist devotees in taking manjari classes. Sometimes I stitch dress for our New Rajapur Jagannath, Baladev, Subhadra. Daily I pray that my mother, father, brother, sister & sister in law together be at your service. Also praying that my father come in Krsna Conscious & also marry me in a Krsna Conscious family, so that me & my husband can serve you, Prabhupada, Jagannath & all the devotees under Caitanya Avatari prabhu & Rasamayi mataji’s guidance. I want to marry a devotee and don’t want to marry a non-devotee. People are forcing me to marry a non-devotee which is not suitable for my growth. Marrying a devotee will help me preach together & make you proud. I am aspiring to become your disciple.

Your Aspiring Disciple,

Dear Gurumaharaja,

Please accept my respectful obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! All glories to your lotus feet!

Happy Vyasapuja!

On this most auspicious day, I would like to express my love and gratitude to you. You have given me everything – the greatest treasure – Krsna, Srila Prabhupada, Mayapur and ISKCON. Without you, where would I be? Sometimes I try to imagine what my life would be without Krsna and I just see emptiness and darkness. You have given me and all your disciples the best life! Who wouldn’t want this life filled with bliss under your shelter, the shelter of the holy name and the house in which Srila Prabhupada built for us? Gurumaharaja, it is because of your powerful influence in my life that I have found love and beauty in being a devotee of the Lord. You have shown me what the only true happiness of this world is. I pray that I will be able to share this with others as a repayment to you and Srila Prabhupada.

You are my greatest inspiration and the strongest pillar in my spiritual life. Every breath and every thought of yours is to please Srila Prabhupada in the mission of Lord Caitanya. Although your glories are unlimited, the quality that stands out the most for me is how you are unstoppable and no matter what obstacles there are, you never give up. You have proven to the world that material considerations of the body can never be a barrier to one’s spiritual life. You have always been an inspiration, are an inspiration and will continue being so for thousands of years. Every day with you is a blessing on this Earth.

Every word that you utter is about Lord Gauranga and how to expand His preaching movement. You are a powerhouse full of ideas; you have a huge vision for ISKCON, Mayapur, CDM. When I think of all the service you contribute every single day, I cannot comprehend how you manage to do everything you do in only 24 hours. Your life is all about preaching! You have opened my eyes and showed me how to dream for ISKCON - how any dream for Krsna is not too ambitious because everything is possible in Krsna consciousness! You are a visionary and your powerful mood is so contagious that I would like to make a big contribution to ISKCON – chase the rhinos. I pray that one day I may get a drop of taste that you have in Srila Prabhupada’s mission.

Every moment of your association has been the biggest blessings and impactful moments of my life – my only true happiness. I have realised that the connection between guru and disciple is from heart to heart and transcends this world. Everything that the Ministry has achieved has only been possible due to your mercy and empowerment. I have realised that if we have the desire to please our spiritual master, anything is possible, even if we may possess no qualifications. I have poured my heart into Becoming Your Devotee book, hoping to please you in some way. This offering is just the beginning; I pray that with your blessings I may continue to render more service to help you in fulfilling Srila Prabhupada’s instructions. I offer all my efforts to you; because it is only due to your mercy and empowerment that anything can happen. Whenever I see you, I automatically become inspired and determined to do more for Krsna.

From the beginning of my life, you have incessantly showered me with mercy – memories that I will cherish forever. How can I ever repay you? You have given me a purpose and until my last breath, I will try my best to fulfil this purpose of engaging children in Krsna consciousness. I have utmost faith that by surrendering my life to your lotus feet, that this is my ticket back to Krsna. I would like to serve you even life after life.  The secret of success in Krsna consciousness is to please a Vaisnava and so this is my prayer every day – to dedicate my life to you so that I may please you. My life is yours, it is your property.

Please forgive me for any offenses I may have committed.

Yours in service always, your spiritual daughter,

Your Lilamrta is a great source of inspiration for me, and it makes me strive to be a disciple worthy of such a wonderful Guru. I am extremely fortunate to be your aspiring disciple.

Everyone's moments in your association have always been unforgettable and memorable ones. Same goes for me too. But the last time you visited Bangalore - that was a special one. I was vey fortunate to recieve the shelter of your lotus feet, even though I wasn't qualified for it. I am evr craving for your mercy. I pray to Lord Jagannath, Baladev, Subhadramayi and Srila Narasimhadev to restore 100% of your health so that you keep giving your causeless mercy, even to undeserving souls like me.

I am currently appearing in Class 10 board exams. Therefore I request your sincere blessings in order to completely fulfill my prescribed duties as a student, and at the same time progress like a rocket in my devotional life. Also, please bless me the competency to come out of all my anarthas so that my devotional service becomes flawless.

A vey happy and blissful Vyasa-Puja to you Dear Gurudev.

Last but not the least, I am really fond of your lectures, especially the ones on the Caitanya Charitamrita.

PLEASE  ACCEPT MY HUMBLE OBEISANCES AT YOUR DIVINE LOTUS FEET MY DEAR SPIRITUAL MASTER AND FATHER

ALL THE GLORIES TO SRILA PRABHUPADA!!!

ALL THE GLORIES TO YOU GURUMAHARAJ!!!

ALL THE GLORIES TO YOUR DIVINE APPEARANCE DAY!!!

I do not know how to glorify you nor I am qualified to, but I am trying to do so for purifying myself

Maharaj,I feel very fortunate to be your disciple and very blessed to get you as my spiritual master and father. Your are so merciful to all the devotees and encourage everybody to take up Krishna consciousness very enthusiastically.

Maharaj you are an  example of a pure Vaishnava who are very merciful, very tolerant and very close to the lord.You have set us an example for how a devotee should be very eager to serve the lord and spread the message of guaranga.

Even though your facing soo many health challenges  and  nothing can stop you because you are always a Victory Flag.

You are soo much dedicated to Srila Prabhupada and to the mission of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu to spread the glories of Harinam in every village and town !!

Yours insignificant servant

Gayathri S

My dear GuruMaharaj

Please accept my respectful obeisance’s  unto your lotus feet. 

All glories to Srila Prabhupada. 

All glories to your auspicious appearance day.

Gurudev, you are from Goloka, the eternal abode of the Lord. You’re the representative of the Supreme personality of Godhead. Your glories and achievements in the spiritual path has no limits. I’m just an insignificant insect, I’m unqualified to glorify your unlimited services to Srila Prabhupada's lotus feet.

Your limitless dedication and pure love for Srila Prabhupad, Guru Parampara and Panchtatva , Sri Sri Radha Madhav is always giving me inspiration , not only me but many devotees all over the world. Your example for unalloyed devotion will live forever. Sometimes I get attracted to mundane activities, but you drag me back to the spiritual path through your lectures. When I took your darshan 1^st time I got a hope in my life. You inspire me to hear about the pastimes of the Supreme lord. I don’t have words to glorify you gurudev,

Hearing from you is greatest strength for me. You have so much love for Prabhupad and Dham. I want to give some of the examples of your taste for Gaur Katha and serving the devotees in humble mood. I was hearing this from HG.Amogh Lila Prabhu. In one lecture he was narrating that once he was with you in the morning walk. He asked you , “ Maharaj ! How to get teste for Gaur Katha ?” You Replied him, “ Read 108 times Caitanya Charitamrit.” After small pause you said I did it long back. After hearing this pastime of yours I got the taste for reading scriptures everyday.

In the year 1997 this incident happened with the family of HG.Amrendra Prabhu. When Prabhu and his family visited vrindavan temple, that time you were seated below the tamal tree and chanting . When you saw this family you smiled  and you got up with folded palm you asked them in a humble way  , “ You are coming to dham?. Seems like this is your 1^st visit. How can I serve you? Please tell me. I am your servant. How can I assist you.” This is your  bhava towards devotees.

I’m humbly requesting you to accept offerings from this insignificant servent and begging for your blessings to sincerely follow your instructions.

Your Servant,

Please accept my humble & respectful obeisance unto your lotus feet!

My Dear Spiritual Appa (father),

Oh! Kripa Sindu! it makes me always wonder, how is that You are so so very merciful ? What makes My Spiritual father this very compassionate, flowing with Love & Care at all given time irrespectively? Every day after Your class You never forget to address and share about Covid -19, precautions against Coronavirus, connecting & addressing with each individual on Zoom.

This arose just because; You have accepted this crooked, envious, stone hearted soul with all anarthas, under the shelter of Your Divine lotus feet.

My dear Mighty Spritual Mercy! You never discriminate to give away the mercy of previous Acharyas and Gauranga to make all the fallen and this fallen soul to get connected in Disciplic parampara. One should be really very very fortunate to be one among Your disciple, but just by knowing one’s own position, it is instinctive to realize Your Position is very exalted.

It was very astounding that Your examples connecting all that are seen are connected to Krsna and Gauranga Your examples – My Knee (Mai – Ni), Knee Thigh (Ni  - Tai), Go Ran Go (Gauranga)

Am always in fear and shameful sense, that being in hail and healthy human form and with all proper mental stability, still not getting connected or realizing Your presence at this very moment on this planet. Am are so very fearful for the unseen virus, but not sincere and committed  unto You who gives class every day without fail to give us Your Loving Association.

My prayers unto Their Lordships - Sri Sri Parhalad Narasimhadev, Sri Pancatattva, Sri Sri Radha Madav & ashta sakhi to shower abundance of Their blessing with good health and all Your activities for Pleasure of Srila Prabhupada become very successful.

Unto Your divine service, I would like to distribute Srila Prabhupada Books and offer the count of books distributed into Your account Srila Gurumaharaj.

Humbly request Your blessings for taking up and performing this glorious service to just please You and bring smile on Your beautiful merciful face.

Thank you Gurumaharaj for accepting this soul as Your servant,

Your insignificant Daughter

Dear Guru Maharaj, my Eternal Spiritual Father ,  please accept my respectful humble obeisances at your lotus feet.

             Since the time of  my being  in Krishna Consciousnesses , the one thing that I have been observing is, your compassion
 and magnanimosity in accepting the least deserving entities like me and others, with a view to giving us a chance to purify ourselves through your  association, and to take us, the straying children , back home, back to Godhead.

              The corona virus has given me a lot of time to ponder upon the above and has confirmed the fact of your magnaniimosity and kindness that you have extended to me in accepting me as your disciple through initiations, when I happen to be reading the Srimad Bhagavatam 9th Canto the incident relating to king Bhagiratha pleading for the ganges to come down to earth.  When Ganga maatha agrees to come down  on two conditions, the second one expresssing her anxiety about her getting tainted and contaminated with the sins of sinners who would take bath in her waters, I cannot but bow down to you Guru Maharaj,  for you have taken us all under your fold knowing fully well , the effect of such engulfing it will have on your well being. We are seeing your suffering on account of us.  The least I can do is to bear that in my mind - apply such realisations- to my words and actions- and stay away from such of those by which your suffering is aggravated.

                I am ever grateful for this kindness compassion and mercy of yours, for that simple yet binding affection for me and the likes of me.

                 Thank  you Guru Maharaj , my gratitude filled obeisances to you

Hare Krishna Dearest Spiritual Grand paa!!, Guru Maharaj.

Please accept my most respectful obeisances at your divine lotus feet Guru Maharaj,

All Glories to Srila Prabhupad,  All Glories to Jayapataka Swami Guru Maharaj.

On this auspicious occasion of your 71st Vyasa Puja , I place my heavy head full of pride at the dust of your divine lotus feet dearest Gurudev.

Thank you Guru Maharaj for accepting a fallen soul like me as your Spiritual Daughter.

It’s hard to sum up my happiness of finally being able to call You my Spiritual Father, Guru Maharaj!!  I feel like a fish who was lying since ages on the shore and one day an angel comes and puts her back to the occean where she belonged. You are my that Angel Guru Maharaj, who has always come to my rescue and this time by initiating me, You have given me a direct path to where I belong by connecting me to the Guru Parampara all the way upto Lord Sri Krishna.

You are the most magnanimous of all Father!, You took the aparadha's of all the living entities in this material world. I recall an incident where a professor had payed a visit to Your Holiness and was reciting a poem which he had written in Guru Maharaj's Glorification. While he was reciting, it appeared to all as if Gurudev was too engrossed in his work that maybe He did not hear the professor out. But as soon as the professor completed his recitation You looked at him and said " you wrote one line wrong, I will not just take my disciples aparadhas but I am ready to take the aparadhas of this entire world.” 

Yet, we were so foolish to not understand the hidden meaning behind your words Guru Maharaj. You have taken again and again the aparadhas of every sin committed ever so that we fools don't suffer. Who can be so magnanimous other than an incarnation of The Lord Nitayananda Himself.

*हरे कृष्णा* 

*श्री गुरु महाराज के चरणों मे प्रणाम*

मै कभी भी महाराज से नही मिला  था मेरे मन मे महाराज से मिलने की चाहत थी।

पर मुझे लगता था मै महाराज से कभी नही मिल पाऊंगा क्योकि महाराज हमेशा दिल्ली से बाहर ही रहते थे पर मुझे मन ही मन लगता था कि मुझे महाराज के दर्शन जरूर होंगे 

मेने मीटिंग में कई बार सुना था कि महाराज बहुत ही कृपालु है और वह अपने शिष्यों पर कृपा करते और भगवान कृष्ण तक जाने के लिए मार्ग दर्शन करते है।

और जब मैने गुरु आश्रय लिया तो मेरी महाराज से मिलने की लालसा ओर बड़ गई ।

मै कृष्णा से प्रार्थना करता कि मुझे महाराज के साक्षत दर्शन करा दे ।

बात उन दिनो की है जब हम पुरे परिवार के साथ वृंदावन के दर्शन करने गए आते समय पता चला की महाराज दिल्ली में आ रहे है औऱ अपने भक्तो को दीक्षा देंगे।

मेरा तो दिल गदगद हो गया कि महाराज हमारे लिए ही आ रहे है 

महाराज राधा-पार्षति मंदिर में है 

मगर वहां महाराज से न मिलने के सख्त निर्देश थे मगर भगवान हमे महाराज के दर्शन करवाने थे हम मीटिंग के रूम देख रहे थे औऱ भगवान ने हमे महाराज के रूम के बाहर खड़ा कर दिया जैसे ही मेने दरवाजा खोला तो मेरे सामने महाराज थे मेने महाराज को प्रणाम किया और महाराज ने भी हमे हरी बोल बोला और जो मेरा दर्शन करने का सपना था वो पूरा हुआ।

अगले दिन हमने दीक्षा दी।

*श्री श्रीमद जया पताका स्वामी महाराज की जय*

 My dear Gurudeva please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Guru and Gouranga. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.  All glories to Sri Sri Sri Jagannath Baladev and Subhadradevi  and Sri Narasingadev. All glories to Gowranitai. Also I pray Their Lordships to shower their blessings for long healthy life  on this auspicious day of Guru Maharaj appearance day (71st vyasa pujaday).  You are a pure devotee of Krishna who gives  you all that you wish  in fulfilling Srila Prabhupadas instuctions, and making many more Krishna devotees ( inspite of more challanges).  You are very determined and very compassionate to all mankind because of that many get benefit in spiritual advancement,  thereby they are becoming devotees.  You change them very quickly .You got all qualities as demigods got (as said in Bhagavat Gita by Krishna). We can glorify you going on, there is no limit. However I got the opportunity of having you as my spiritual master. Nowadays Guru Maharaj’s classes are having nectar instructions. By hearing to that my doubts are getting cleared. I keep remembering Guru Maharaj’s ( physical presence  association) when you were in Coimbatore for treatment. You speaks humourously,once you asked my age  when i said ,  you  immedeately told that,  gopathy you are younger than me one year GuruMaharaj you only appeared in my dream and brought me to Iskcon no body else .Srila Prabhupada in his purport said that Guru and disciple  relationship is very subtle This shows that you knows present ,past and future in my case.Howeverplease bless me for keep doing devotional services to their LORDSHIPS. and to Gurudeva.Please forgive me for the offences commited by me knowingly or un knowingly. Again I pray their lordships  Jagannath ,Baladeva Shubadradevi Gournitai and Narasingadeva for your long healthylife by which you can save some more fortunate souls.

Srila Guru Maharaja,

Hare Krishna 

Please accept my respectful obeisances

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada.

As days pass by your glories are being revealed more and more. Srila Prabhupada had said, that you are an eternal associate of Lord Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and you are proving that the word of the Acharyas like Srila Prabhupada is always true. An associate of the Lord is always serving the lord amidst any material calamities. You are a living example of this. The gopis of Vrindavan took many risks just to serve Krsna and to satisfy him(anyābhilāṣitā-śūnyaṁ, ānukūlyena ). Your Divine Grace following their footsteps took many risks with the only purpose of satisfying Hari , Guru and Vaishnavas. This is the real manifestation of Bhakti of Vrindavan, living only to serve and satisfy Krsna. If we look at all our previous acharyas they had also contributed  with the same spirit as your Divine Grace is exhibiting now (kṛṣṇānu-śīlanaṁ). This shows that due to your intense desire and sincerity to serve the acharyas you have their presence in you. So they are constantly inspiring you and empowering you thus you are serving their Lordships Sri Sri Radha Madhava with complete enthusiasm,confidence,and patience.    

Srila Guru Maharaja in the Srimad Bhagavatam 5.12.12 Sri Jada Bharata instructs Maharaja rahugana as such, 

rahūgaṇaitat tapasā na yāti

na cejyayā nirvapaṇād gṛhād vā

na cchandasā naiva jalāgni-sūryair

vinā mahat-pāda-rajo-’bhiṣekam

My dear King Rahūgaṇa, unless one has the opportunity to smear his entire body with the dust of the lotus feet of great devotees, one cannot realize the Absolute Truth. One cannot realize the Absolute Truth simply by observing celibacy [brahmacarya], strictly following the rules and regulations of householder life, leaving home as a vānaprastha, accepting sannyāsa, or undergoing severe penances in winter by keeping oneself submerged in water or surrounding oneself in summer by fire and the scorching heat of the sun. There are many other processes to understand the Absolute Truth, but the Absolute Truth is only revealed to one who has attained the mercy of a great devotee.

From this it's understood that only by the mercy of pure devotee like Your Divine Grace a worthless person like me  who is attached to sense gratification can become materially detached and attain pure devotional service to Krsna. On this auspicious day my prayers are 

1. To always keep me under the shelter of your lotus feet

2. To bless me that the quality of my sadhana especially chanting and hearing improve more

3. I should give up the fault finding mentality 

4. I should serve Srila Prabhupada's mission more and more

5. I should develop attachment to Sri Mayapur Dhama and our Deities here

6. I also should get more your personal association 

7. Right now i am serving at Mayapur academy under the supervision of Narasimha Kavaca Prabhu, pls bless that i would be able to contribute well there also 

 Srila Guru Maharaja please forme for all my previous offences.

Dear Gurumaharaj,

All Glories to Srila Jaya Pathaka Maharaj… All Glories to Srila Prabhupada..

Please accept my most humble obeisance at your lotus feet… Gurumaharaj by your mercy I had been there in Vrindavan and visited mostly all sacred places of Lord Sri Krishna’s pass time. I was there at Radhakund for seven days and had the opportunity to do circumbulance of Giriraj all days… Which I had did as a prarthana for your health… Guru and vaishnava’s mercy I had completed that.. This year ( by February 4 th) ISKCON VRINDAVAN sent a calendar with Krishnabalram’s pictures and a milk sweet as prasadam by courier. I am blessed. I received that courier on Nithyananda Trayodasi… I cant believe this,,, so much mercy on me…All these things happening in my life only because of your mercy Guru Maharaj.. with out your mercy I am nothing…. A real fallen soul…, who is not even keeping the words I have given to you… But by reading Guru Prasanga and hearing your vani, I am coming back to the track of Japa… And Maharaj, I need your presence at my home always to protect us from falling down .. I had fixed two of your pictures at both the door tops one at entrance and one at exit… please bless us Gurumaharaj, you are the only one who can really take care of us..

Gurumaharaj, the way you are doing things to please your Guru, actually amazing… we should take you as the example and try to do something to help you to fulfill your Guru Srila Prabhupada’s dream come true… But being a lazy fellow I am not doing much… please Guru Maharaj empower me with the light of knowledge and will power to do right things to speak only right words at right time at right place. I hope I may improve my sadana and possibly I can assist you to serve your Gurudev Srila Prabhupada, I pray for the opportunities and increase my enthusiasms to serve you,, please help me Gurudev to please you,, as being an insignificant soul please put me in such places where I can do some service to please you .

According to SB:3.25.21

titiksavah karunikah suhrda sarva-dehinam ajata-satravah santah aadhavah sadhu-bhusanah

“the symptoms of a sadhu are that he is tolerant , merciful and friendly to all living entities. He has no enemies, he is peaceful, he abides by the scriptures, and all his characteristics are sublime”. Guru Maharaj, You are the perfect example for this sloka… as being your disciple I pray to you to give me your karunya , and make me to be like this.. by my rajao and thamo gunas I am getting tempted easily and shower harsh words to my dependants, which is showing my low quality of nature… being an insignificant foolish soul, after getting your prema karuna and being an initiated devotee, I should not behave in such a ways which may give bad impression on you… so please Guru Maharaj give me the power to control my mind and tongue… and give me the willingness and will power to make all living beings happy who ever in contact with me….and give me the blessings … which is the only medicine for me to get rid of these such diseases of material being…

Guru Maharaj, we here in my home, me (Gopi bhava Chaitanya Das), my wife ( Ananda pradaha Kesavi Devi Dasi), My daughters (Bhakthin Abhaya & Amrita ) and my son Bhakt Madhav Krishna all are doing the sandhya arathy together and pray to Vigna Vinasak Narasimha Bhagwan to give more strength and good health for you to guide us and give us more intelligence to please you and Gauranga....

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada

All glories to you Gurumaharaj

Please accept my humble obeisances

It has been 71 years since you came from the spirtual world for the sake of

delivering fallen souls like me back home back to Godhead. You truly are an

inspiration for many on how a pure devotee should be like. Despite your bad health,

you still continue to preach the glories of Lord Chaitanya around the world and

follow the instructions of your spritual master,His Divine Grace A.C Bhaktivedanta

Srila Prabhupada.

On your 71st Vyasapuja Festival, I sincerely pray to Pancha Tattva, Sri Sri Radha

Madhava and Lord Narasimhadev for your better health and to continue delivering

fallen conditioned souls.

Please bless me so that by your mercy I can chant properly and do devotional service

to the Lord without any offenses.

Thank you Gurumaharaj.

My dear Guru Maharaja,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Sri Sri Guru and Gauranga ! All glories to Srila Prabhupada, saviour of the whole world !

On the most auspicious occasion of your divine vyasa puja, I pray at the lotus feet of Sri Sri Radha Mahdava, Sri Sri Panca Tattva and Sri Sri Prahlada Narasimhadeva for the continued good health of your Holiness.

As the whole world is staring at all kinds of uncertainties, thanks to the tiny virus, we understand from your Holiness how to deal with such situations. As a true Acharya, your Holiness has asked the entire ISKCON universe to increase and improve the chanting of the Holy Name as it is the only hope for a world beset by such an endemic. Through that, your Holiness is also ensuring that devotees stay fixed in their sadhana bhakti of chanting the Holy Name, primarily. We also learn from your Holiness how to face uncertain times. Your Holiness has been resolute and steadfast in the face of crisis after crisis over the last many years. Dear Guru Maharaja, you have showed us how to stay focussed on service to Guru and Gauranga, whatever the situation maybe. We have also seen from your life, how a steadfast follower of his spiritual master overcomes all limitations to be engaged in the service of his Guru. Your alaukika guru-nishta, sraddha, kshama and sthairya is enough to inspire anyone to take up the path of devotional service. May it also inspire a mudha like me !

Its only by your Holiness’ blessings that I continue to serve the BBT and Srila Prabhupada’s Bhagavad Darshanam magazine. Although it is a struggle, mainly due to my inabilities, I am always trying to improve all aspects of my service, as I am sure it will please Your Holiness as well as Srila Prabhupada.

On this most auspicious occasion, I pray at your lotus feet that I be blessed to continue to assist you in my miniscule way to serve Srila Prabhupada’s mission.

Dasanudasa,

Govardhana Giri Dasa

Chief Editor, Bhagavad Darshanam, Kerala.

Dear Guru Maharaja,
 
Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet. All Glories to Srila Prabhupada! All Glories to Sri Guru and Sri Gouranga! All Glories to your Vyasa puja festival!
 
When first time I come to know  about to you through my siksa-guru, I was not very inspired but gradually after hearing long time about you I am feeling very fortunate myself because pure devotees are very rare previously before come to KC, I  was thinking same like ordinary people because of your health issue and hear some wrong from outside friend but as prabupad said result is the proof of you are going right or wrong direction so similarly whatever I heard from my siksa-guru, I found reality in his words when I show you Guru maharaj thats empowered me lots that in any situation one can execute devotional service and you are the biggest example, so may Lord bless me that in difficult situation I will able to remember you and fell sheltered and in this way you empowered every devotees to continue their journey towards Krsna.

Dear Guru Maharaj,

Please accept my humble obeisciences at your lotus feet.

All glories to Srila Prabhuada. All glories to you.

Guru Maharaj, by  your presence at any place people get feeling of presence of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu on the spot, because you are His eternal associate.

Guru Maharaj, inspite of so much difficulties in your body you have always given priority to preaching even inside  ICU in the hospital, many times.

Guru Maharaj, you have developed the Mayapur Dham(the kingdom of God)whose responsibility was given by Srila Prabhupada to you and the emerging TOVP the dream of Srila Prabhupada is going to take complete shape soon due to your hard work.

Guru Maharaj, your huge body and big Kartals in hand looks very extra ordinary and unique while dancing, jumping  & doing kirtan.

Guru Maharaj, people from even outside ISKCON respect you and love you very much.

Guru Maharaj, you are very dear most desciple of Srila Prabhupada and you have prooved your deep love to Srila Prabhupada by composing the song "Yadi Prabhupada Na Hoite......".

Gurudev!!! I have no qualification to describe your glories, please forgive me for all the  a offences I have commited.

Gurudev!!! please accept Dandavat Pranam of my Family members (Wife, Son & Daughter) and please bless us.

Dear Guru Maharaja,

Please accept my respectful obeisances. All glories to you, Guru Maharaja. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

This morning I heard a wonderful offering by HH Tamal Krishna Goswami Maharaja to you on your Vyasa Puja in 1993. Maharaja described how surrendered you were to the Krishna consciousness movement from your very first day at the temple. Hearing about your glorious qualities was very inspiring.

One especially striking quality he mentioned was your ability to think very deeply. Since then, I've been reflecting on how thoughtful you are, Guru Maharaja. You are always thinking about the welfare of others; How others may be benefited; How they may come closer to Krishna. You are kind and concerned about everyone - whether it be preaching to some Christian nurses at the ICU or arranging to shower cool water on the roads of Navadvipa Mandala so the devotees who are walking barefoot on parikrama may feel some relief. You think of everything!

I was also reflecting on how you arranged to distribute dry prasadam to all the devotees here in Mayapur on Ram Navami day during the fast breaking time, anticipating that devotees may struggle during this lock down period. Thank you for caring so much!

Thank you for displaying to us the causeless mercy of Lord Nityananda and your exemplary service attitude through your activities. Thank you for being so exemplary in constantly meditating on Srila Prabhupada's instructions and endeavouring with your life and soul to fulfil them. Thank you for showing us by your own example how we are not this body, but the spirit soul.

I consider myself most fortunate to be connected to you through your spiritual son, HG Ādi Gaurasundara Prabhu, and pray we may both be of service to you in Srila Prabhupada's glorious movement.

Your spiritual daughter-in-law and niece,
Govinda-priya dasi 
 

My Dear Guru Maharaja,

We cannot do vapu seva of Lord Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu but we can do Vani seva Of
Lord Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu through the via media of Guru parampara by fulfilling their
desire. You also mentioned we are indebted to Srila Prabhupada to give us this most
Valuable gift, Krishna Consciousness. And the books of Srila Prabhupada are full spiritual

I am now trying to please my superior authority sincerely by youth preaching due the power 
of mercy of You. Please bless me so that I can carry out the order under the footsteps of
superior authority with grateful attitude by properly following the rules and regulation to

to be situated according to different challenges due to my short comings. Please bless me so
that even there is so much difficulties, I can continue to follow and serve my spiritual
superior authority to please them.

By your preaching activities you shows that we can carry on spreading this most auspicious
movement of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu without any material barrier. By this only there is a
possibility to wash out maya from the core of our heart and always fully engaged in the
service of Krishna. I am begging your mercy specially on preaching the glories of Sri
Caitanya Mahaprabhu by which I can always attached to devotees so that I can protect my
bhakti lata and distribute others this Krishna Consciousness in association of devotees. 

At this present moment due to pandemic of corona virus its clear that how much we are
insignificant infornt of punishment of Lords enrgey, mother nature. At last I humbly pray my
respectful obeisences at your lotus feet as by your mercy only I will be able to stay always
under shelter of devotees.

Dear HH Jayapataka Swami Gurudeva, 

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All Glories to Guru and Gauranga. 

I wish you a very happy 71st birthday on this auspicious day. I have immense respect and love towards your holiness and you were the first person to lift me out of the ocean of darkness. Please find below my humble offering unto your lotus feet. 

Hare Krishna. 
 

71st Vyasa Puja offering following the footsteps of Jayadev Goswami's Ten Incarnations Prayer :

Ohh Krishna!

During flood of dissolution,

As a fish you became the solution

Taking the form of a boat

You protected the Vedic vision

Ohh Gurudev Jayaptaka Swami!

While struggling in this material ocean

You doled harinaam as a magic potion

Being the yoke of the fish for the boat

You revive drowned souls again to float

Ohh Krishna !

The demons and demigods churned for nectar

As a tortoise, you appeared there as a protector

Sporting the mountain Mandara on your bareback

You ensured Demons do not get nectar in their sack

Ohh Gurudev Jayaptaka Swami !

For the demons or the demigods

You have distributed the holy name against all odds

You have borne TOVP on your bareback

And against Maya, you have led the counter-attack

Ohh Krishna!

Earth, Drowned at the bottom of the ocean

As a boar, you lifted and brought her back to motion

Praised by all through multiple verses

Varaha dev glorious are your converses

Ohh Gurudev Jayapataka Swami!

While Varaha lifted Earth on his mighty tusks

You lift the fallen souls from dawn to dusk

Sowing seeds of devotion in the heart's garden

You have eliminated mother earth's burden

Ohh Krishna!

You killed the lust of the demon with your nails

As half-man and lion you made the demon wail

Such an incarnation was unprecedented

Seeing that Prahlad's devotion augmented

Ohh Gurudev Jayaptaka Swami!

You are a lion amidst the bhakti cult

Your roar in kirtan is liked by kids, babies and adult

You brought the handsome lion to Mayapur

We take great pleasure watching his grandeur

Ohh Krishna!

Making Ganges flow from your feet

As dwarf Vamana your appearance to Bali was discreet

Your mighty steps tamed Bali through deceit

Still, he glorified you for your wonderful feat

Ohh Gurudev Jayapataka  Swami!

Through Parikramas, You brought the world to mother Ganges

Your efforts are none shorter than the seven Sages

You toiled hard for Prabhupada without any wages

Breaking our material bonds and freeing us from our cages

Ohh Krishna!

When the protectors of the world were lax

As Parashuram, you punished them with your axe

You bathed Kurukshetra with rivers of blood

Protected the citizens like a tender flower bud

Ohh Gurudev Jayapataka Swami!

Taking the message of the Kurukshetra far and wide

You wielded the harinam axe in your every stride

You conquered the hearts of enemies and friends

Gave them the love of Caitanya beyond dividends

Ohh Krishna!

The world wilted due to atrocities of Ravana the demon

You appeared as Ram and upheld your sermon

Severing Ravana's ten heads in ten directions

You brought to doorsteps of Lanka ultimate destruction

Ohh Gurudev Jayapataka Swami!

When our mind raced in all ten directions

You gave the names of Rama as the initiation instruction

Severing our desires for material enjoyment

You built a bridge of devotion to our heart's content

Ohh Krishna!

Appearing on this earth wielding your plough

As Balarama, you made the Yamuna not to flow

Adorned with bluish garments of various length

You looked handsome and gentle yet with immense strength

Ohh Gurudev Jayapataka Swami!

You took around the world Balram's shoe

You are stuck to Nitai like transcendental glue

Digging deep into our hearts with the harinam plough

You kneaded it with love making it soft like a dough

Ohh Krishna !

The animals cried their hearts out in Vedic sacrifice

As Buddha, you showed to such acts a deep despise

Uprooting the evils and all the vice

You made the men of this world again to rise

Ohh Gurudev Jayapataka Swami!

Taking a note from Lord Buddha's compassion

You too walked for 50 years under renunciation

Touching the lives of humans and animals alike

Through your Vani which for Maya is a painful spike

Ohh Krishna !

As the men become more barbarous in the world

As Kalki, you appear to bring the times of the old

You flash with your sword through them like a comet

Your final act for them will be hard to forget

Ohh Gurudev Jayapataka Swami!

You have taken a vow to stop the effect of evil

By bringing the message of Gita for an upheaval

You travel across the world in full speed

Delivering souls by chanting Hare Krishna on every Bead

Ohh Krishna!

As Jayadeva has sung the great song on ten incarnations

The readers of it are bestowed with happiness and devotion

You appeared beautifully in ten different forms

Breaking the shackles of time, breaking all the norms

Ohh Gurudev Jayapataka Swami!

When will this Haridas Varya get a drop of your merciful glance

Who has knowingly put his heart through Maya's lance

On this 71st Vyasa puja, I am taking a chance

For the cry of mine to be heard through the universe's expanse

Begging for Jayapataka Swami Thakura's mercy

Dear Guru Maharaj

Please accept my respectful obeisance unto your lotus feet

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Gurudeva, you are teaching us the pure path of devotional service. I wish to share my meditation on some of your divine qualities.

Executing intense devotional service at all circumstances

You are one of the powerful soldiers of Srila Prabhupada, showing all of us how to execute devotional service among adversities. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu in the last verse of Siksastaka mentions “adarśanān marma-hatāṁ karotu vā yathā tathā vā vidadhātu”, whatever position the Lord Krishna may put, I will not budge an inch from the intense devotion to You. Gurudeva, you are an ideal example in this regard. You have all reasons to be in one place and still inspire many souls in Krishna Consciousness but still you take the trouble to go to places where no one goes to preach, just to please your spiritual master His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada. You have not reduced your services to Srila Prabhupada, in this condition, rather you have expanded your services more and more.

Completely free from envy a quality of resident of Sri Vrindavan/Sri Mayapur

Srila Prabhupada write in purport to Srimad Bhagavatam 10.13.60 “Envy develops because of sense gratification, but in Vṛndāvana there is no sense gratification, for the only aim is Kṛṣṇa’s satisfaction”. I have personally witnessed how devotees having differences and misunderstandings could easily confess and take your guidance and resolve their issues. Anyone can approach you and feel completely sheltered and secure. This is because your heart is completely free from envy, rather it is filled with intense desire to help every single person of this world.

Unlimited compassion

One may be satisfied to preach as much as possible. But you constantly think of the many souls who are out there in this world and think how will they get Krishna Consciousness. We hear many of your pastimes where, you go out of the way to give Krishna Consciousness to people at hospitals, airports and many unusual places. I have heard from devotees about your recent travels of South America. You had visited places where no other preachers normally go, places where there is constant security threat. In such a health condition of yours, visiting such places is much more than adventurous, it is intense and unlimited compassion you have. One may go to such places with great difficulty occasionally, but you happily expressed that you wish to go there every year. It is just to please Srila Prabhupada. We can only count on our good fortune that Lord Krishna and Srila Prabhupada has gifted your association to have a firsthand experience of mood of a Vaikunta man.

Identity as a servant of the spiritual master

From your lectures we can understand how by serving and pleasing one’s spiritual master one achieves all the perfection. Focus on executing the instructions of spiritual master is the prime identity of the disciple. Your life is a perfect example of this. You could have chosen to execute some of the instructions of Srila Prabhupada as it is convenient, but you remember all the instructions Srila Prabhupada, both formal and casual as both of them are vani of spiritual master, and you strive to follow every bit of it. You constantly remember these instructions. Your only identity is that of servant of Srila Prabhupada.

Your qualities are unlimited and each of them are very deep. As an insignificant soul I can see some of your qualities and to a very shallow level. My only hope is that I grow my intensity to follow your instructions, which are your actual mercy, as my life and soul. I seek your blessings to follow your instructions.

I have heard from my seniors, that the spiritual master is pleased when he sees the disciple engaged in service of Lord Krishna always and develops divine qualities. On this auspicious occasion I pray that I may be blessed with a drop of your good qualities, that can offer you pleasure.

Please bless me that my mind, which constantly hovers on sense gratification be pulled into thoughts of executing your instructions.

Your servant

I asked you my dear spiritual father, we do transcription service and if we please the service authority, do we please you?" You answered "why not?"

    You also said” Thank you for your service” and I understood that it pleases You and we would continue to perform this seva being grateful for the service opportunity we got

    Longing to have your association always which is our most treasured spiritual wealth

Dear Gurumaharaj, 

     Due to lot of work and service, I was very tired and down, so I could not chant rounds. That time I was praying you saying in the mind that Gurumaharaj iam not getting mood to chant, please help me in chanting. Within some minutes, I got call from London. Amala manjari mataji spoked with me. Asking about my sadana, how I am doing.?it was friendly talk. Mataji inspired me to do chanting. Then I started doing it regularly. This is really a miracle Gurumaharaj, I prayed to you and you sent your empowered disciple to talk with me and to inspire. What to tell about your love and care Gurumaharaj. And one more incident that I was telling you in my mind that Iam very fearful, please help me. Immediately iam getting a quote. 

That is your mercy Gurumaharaj. We are very far from you but you are close to our Heart. Thank you very much Dear Gurumaharaj. For your mercy.

Please kindly accept my respectful obeisances at your lotus feet.

All glories to you! All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

All glories to your auspicious Vyasa Puja day!

Dear Maharaj, your causeless mercy knows no limits, and your enthusiasm to serve Srila Prabhupada come what may is inconceivable.You are an incredible source of inspiration for all.

Those who are able to get the shelter of your lotus feet are indeed the most fortunate. I am the most fallen, offensive person Maharaj. Although I have no such pious credit and qualification to get the shelter, blessings and mercy of a pure devotee like yourself, I still somehow shamelessly beg to you for your causeless mercy to please kindly accept as your spiritual daughter and kindly bless me that I can endeavor sincerely, enthusiastically, faithfully, determinedly, patiently with my life air to serve your lotus feet nityam. 

Please kindly bless me Maharaj, that I can soon become eligible to be your initiated disciple and endeavour enthusiastically, determinedly, patiently and faithfully with my mind, body, and words to serve and please you.

Please kindly bless this most insignificant, wretched being with your causeless mercy Maharaj.

Your insignificant servant

MY DEAREST FATHER AND SPIRITUAL MASTER,

Please accept my humble obeisances unto the dust of your lotus feet. All glories to You! All glories to
Srila prabhupada!

Gurumaharaj, it is a great privilege and honor to write an offering unto the most elevated person on this planet even though I don’t have any qualification to write or talk about You.

Firstly, I sincerely thank and pray to Srila Prabhupada, Sri Guara Nitai, Lord Narasimha Dev, Sri Radha Madhava, for giving us back our beloved Guru Maharaj to guide fallen souls like us, from the clutches of Maya and progress into Krishna Conscious journey. You are a living inspiration of how firm faith in Guru and Supreme Lord will bring us out of the most trying conditions.

Guru Maharaj, You are so merciful. In spite of your health conditions, you have bestowed your mercy and accepted this fallen soul under your care by giving diksha to me and my husband Ramarupa gaura prabhu in Chennai on 28th March’18. Last year (2019), during the Maha Abhishekham period in Mayapur, we had the great fortune to have Your darshan and listen to Your evening lectures on the pastimes of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and Sri Kolavecha Sridhar. We - myself, my husband and my son felt blessed seeing You and listening to You.

As You know Guru Maharaj, because of material attachment I could not do my sadana and preach sincerely. I am sincerely requesting you to forgive me, enlighten me with knowledge and remove my attachments/anarthas. 

We got the opportunity to get Your darshan, Guru Maharaj, during your visit to Bangalore in October’19. We got connected with New Rajapur Jagannath Dham Temple in Bangalore. We are under the guidance of HG Chaitanya Avadhari prabhu and HG Rasmayee mathaji here, while we are also connected remotely to Sachi janani mathaji and Ramananda prabhu. With their guidance, Bhakthi Vriksha is happening in our area every week and I am coordinating for the program,by Your causeless mercy. During Damodar Month, I have been trying to reach many fallen souls by conducting & coordinating for school programs.

I have a desire to start Tulsi Manjari, Gita Manjari and Bal Utsav class in our home. A few days back, I started Bal Utsav for two students and would like to have more children join in, by Your causeless mercy. During this lockdown period of COVID-19, by Your and Srila Prabhupada’s mercy, I am leading a group chanting for members in our area. Hope to continue this group chanting even after this lockdown period.

Please give me and my husband strength to serve Srila Prabhupada and You with great enthusiasm. Please bless my son, daughter & son-in-law who are aspiring under Your lotus feet to quickly grow spiritually and take initiation under You, so that they can entusiastically contribute more in Your mission.

Koti Koti Pranams.

Your servant,

Beloved Gurudeva, please accept my humble obeisances.

All glories unto you and All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Gurumaharaj, on this most auspicious day of your Vyasa puja, I am really glad to write an offering unto your lotus feet. I don’t know what qualification have I got to glorify you. But still I would do so in order to get purified. Please accept this humble offering.

As a true follower and disciple of Srila Prabhupada, you have imbibed from him, his mood of preaching and compassion for all the conditioned souls in this world. You see them as a part and parcel of the Supreme Lord and engage them all back in their own constitutional position in serving Krsna. Thus you prove yourself as the most merciful pure devotee present in this world today.

Gurumaharaj, you are just like a rescue boat sent by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu to fetch the conditioned souls suffering in this material ocean of nescience. You take in the boat anyone who wants to get in, not caring for their previous material backgrounds. This is very much true because even though undergoing very serious illness for the past several years, you still continue to  travel and preach extensively and initiate thousands of devotees who have taken shelter at your lotus feet. 

Gurumaharaj, I am one of those conditioned souls to whom you have given shelter at your lotus feet.Though I have got this rare human form of life and a chance to take birth in a devotee family and study in gurukula at ISKCON Salem, if I would not have had you as my glorious spiritual master, then surely these fortunate opportunities would have been of no use. Still I am not steady in my spiritual life.I have tremendous attraction for kirtans in our movement,but many times I feel that its only for the music and the instruments played in kirtan and not really for the holy name of the lord. Though my parents and other well wishers keep inspiring me and instructing me in devotional service I still tend to get slackened in my regular devotinal duties such as chanting attentively and regularly reading books of Srila Prabhupada’s and yours.

O Gurudeva, on this most auspicious day of your Vyasa puja, I pray that I myself with my brother and parents become steady and sincere in the process of devotional service and continue to preach the message of Krishna Consciousness, following in the footsteps of  you and Srila Prabhupada.

Your insignificant servant,

Hare krishna Gurumaharaj,

Please accept my humble obeisciences!

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!!

All glories to you!!!

We pray to Radha madhava Panchatattva Narasimhadev Srila Prabhupada and Tulasi maharani for your well being and continued enthusiastic service for the benefit of many conditioned souls.

With you mercy and our shiksha Guru's tremendous support we are  trying to better our sadhna and keep our consciousness intact. We have been fortunate to get association from you several times and your kind loving nature and instructions helps us recover from various tests of life and remember and depend on you all the more.

It is very inspiring to see you each moment giving yourself fully for your displicles upliftment. Although unqualified we sincerely pray to Gaura Nitai  that they protect us and prepare us to engage in pure devotional service for your pleasure.

Hare Krishna Maharaj,

Please accept my respectful obeisances.

All glories to srila Prabhupada.

I wish to extend my sincerest gratitude to you. I used to attend bhakti vriksha classes at our bhakti center, which had actually helped me to connect to KC, maintain devotee association and many other aspects of my spiritual life. Very recently when I was reading an Instagram post on you, it was written that it was your idea to start something called "Bhakti vriksha" many years ago, and you introduced it. It was both a joy and surprise to see how your wisdom is helping in uplifting fallen souls like me. Beyond grateful for all of that maharaj!!

With my sincere prayers for your good health,

Your aspiring servant,

Jay Sri Sri Guru and Gauranga, Jai Srila Prabhupada 

My Dear Guru Maharaja,

                                        I am very happy to glorify you on this most auspicious day of Your Vyasa Puja.Please kindly forgive me for this inexperienced offering, my words are empty still I hope that Your Holiness would accept it as Lord Rama accepted the small amount of service rendered by the squirrel.

                                        Guru maharaja you are the mercy representation of Srila Prabhupada.You are always thinking of saving the conditioned souls from this darkest age. Even after the major surgery, you didn’t pause your preaching activities but went on for a world tour encouraging and delivering millions and millions of people and your disciples. Your care and affection for your disciples over personal physical well being was clearly seen, when even after the doctors stern recommendation for you not to exert and travel, you nonetheless went on helping and encouraging them, both spiritually and mentally.This shows your selflessness and the compassionate nature. As stated in Caitanya Caritamrita (madhya 4.186);

pragäòha-premera ei svabhäva-äcära

nija-duùkha-vighnädira nä kare vicära

”This is the natural result of intense love of Godhead. The devotee does not consider personal inconveniences or impediments. In all circumstances he wants to serve the Supreme Personality of Godhead.”You are the living example for this.Wherever you travel, you convert them into holy places.As stated in Srimad Bhagavatam  (1.13.10) 

bhavad-vidhä bhägavatäs

tértha-bhütäù svayaà vibho

térthé-kurvanti térthäni

sväntaù-sthena gadäbhåtä

My lord, devotees like your good self are verily holy places personified. Because you carry the Personality of Godhead within your heart, you turn all places into places of pilgrimage .

Guru maharaj, I can never imagine the level of your dedication to Srila Prabhupada and his movement.You are always thinking to please Srila Prabhupada by following his instructions. I rememeber hearing from His Grace Mahavaraha Prabhu that even though you were very sick after the 2008 stroke still you never missed to chant 16 rounds, and to speak about Krishna with others at least for twenty minutes ,even in your busy schedule of six hours exercise, etc.. . In fact you did so many extra rounds also.And I also remember your famous statement”what’s life without preaching and talking about Krishna.” You also showed it by your practical example. 

                          Guru maharaj, I am really blessed to have such a great personality like you as my spiritual master.Please deliver this conditioned soul, I am completely helpless and dependent upon you.

Your insignificant servant,

Hiranmaya Haladhara Dasa.

Dear Jayapataka Swami,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I am happy to say a few words of glorification to you because you are a devotee that is very dear to Srila Prabhupada.

Your faith in Srila Prabhupada and Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu can be seen by your determination to spread the glories of the Holy Name all over the world.

Your eagerness to increase the family of devotees and to help the conditioned souls by connecting them to Srila Prabhupada's ISKCON shows your outstanding compassion.

71 is the age most people retire and take it easy, but you are full of energy, you have a burning desire to bring more devotees to take shelter to Sri Sri Pancha Tattva, Sri Sri Radha Madhava, Lord Nrsimhadeva, Srila Prabhupada and you give them shelter and give them a new spiritual birth.

Srila Prabhupada wrote to Abhirama Prabhu in January 1976

Where there is preaching there must be life.

Your preaching is very much alive and we can see that you are very much concerned about the material and spiritual welfare of the Mayapur devotees and therefore the devotees feel sheltered and loved and cared for and that's why they can go out on book distribution and become number one in the world because the devotees see your example of pure unalloyed devotional service to please Srila Prabhupada and they want to reciprocate by working hard, to serve you. 

You see the Corona Virus as an opportunity to distribute the Karuna, the mercy of the Lord, to other devotees. You encourage the Mayapur devotees to stay fixed in Krsna Consciousness by increasing their Devotional practices, their chanting, their reading of Srila Prabhupada's books and you are inspiring them to preach trough the different internet channels to reach as many devotees that are isolated and to reach many people who are bereft of Krsna Consciousness and who are suffering due to a lack of knowledge.

Due to the Covid 19 and the confinement to stay in one place and due to the decisions the Mayapur Administrative Council has to take, we are having your association more than ever. I am very happy to serve in Mayapur Dham under your guidance and I hope Krsna will continue to bless me by giving me the opportunity to continue to serve you in this way.

Your servant,
Hrdaya Caitanya das

Dear Guru Maharaja,

Please accept our respectful obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada and to Your Divine Grace.

We, at the ISKCON Congregational Development Ministry, feel privileged and most fortunate to have the opportunity to serve under your kind guidance, the congregational mission of Srila Prabhupada and the previous Acaryas. It is practically inconceivable how connected you are with the divine desires of the Parampara, and how you know 'exactly' what is to be done to expand the Sankirtan movement of Lord Caitanya. 

From as early as 1979, you have been pioneering in reviving the congregational methods of preaching taken from Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura. After years of travelling far and wide, visiting remote villages in Bengal, Orissa, Assam and even in Bangladesh, sometimes going by car, bicycle or foot, you were able to re-establish the Namahatta program in villages of all these areas. For this, you learnt fluent Bengali and all the related practices in the Gaudiya line; you visited and helped to develop many holy places, that otherwise would have been forgotten.

As if this wouldn't be enough, you adapted the congregational program into an urban format and coined it, "the Bhakti Vriksha", or the "devotional branches" of the tree of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Up to date, between thousands of Namahatta and Bhakti Vriksha groups worldwide, millions of people have been outreached by ISKCON.

Recently, while rearranging some old boxes at our central office in Mayapur, I found some of your books of decades ago at a time when you were researching on congregational methods of expansion. I noticed how diligently you have made notes in many pages of such books and in your personal writing pad. Many of these notes had exclamations marks, underlines and some words were circled and others 'decorated' with stars!!! I could almost feel your excitement when reading these things and realizing that there were so many ways in which Srila Prabhupada's movement could benefit from an organized endeavour to reach out practically to everyone.

You said that you can always talk about three things: Lord Caitanya's pastimes, Sridham Mayapur and Congregational preaching. It would be impossible to properly glorify you since just these three thing are unlimited and transcendental. That is why you are truly like a monsoon cloud pouring down torrents of rain with ideas and realizations on not only how to expand this movement, but also how to train and care for the devotees. 

It is a treat to see you relish with pleasure every time someone brings a positive report on congregational preaching. You often say that if Srila Prabhupada would be physically present with us, he will innovate; he would look for ways of growing further and further. This is exactly what you do; you like to listen to devotees' reports on preaching, and see how ISKCON can reach out in more and better ways.

One of the most amazing of your transcendental qualities is your natural way of appreciating everyone; doesn't matter if it is a very small success in services or a so-called "big" problem is someone's personal life. You are always endeavouring to encourage everyone; doesn't matter to what capacity the devotees had been able to succeed or not in their endeavour to please Guru and Krsna; you only focus on their intention to expand the glories of Gaura and Nitai.

On this auspicious day of your appearance, we humbly commit life after life to serve your preaching desires and 

pray for forgiveness for our inabilities and limitations while being part of such a valuable service. You are truly a transparent representative of Krsna and the disciplic succession. At the same time, we openly express our gratitude to keep us all engaged in this wonderful opportunity to serve the devotees who are carrying the victory flag of Guru and Gauranga.

Dear Gurumaharaj,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Guru Maharaj , you are an ocean of mercy and you are taking great hardships to spread Krishna consciousness and the Holy Name throughout the world. You have been a very dear disciple to Srila Prabhupada who had entrusted you to develop Sridham Mayapur by saying “I give you the kingdom of God. You develop it”. Today , we can see Sridham Mayapur in all its glory from a simple village to one international town where we can meet devotees from all over the world. Your contribution to this change has been phenomenal . We have heard that you would personally travel to Krishnanagar on bicycle to bring building materials to Mayapur. Gurudev you  are a perfect example of dedication and surrender to your spiritual master, Srila Prabhupada and thus you left your comfortable and sophisticated environment of USA to come to a small village of Mayapur in West Bengal to develop the vision of Srila Prabhupada , a vision of world wide congregation of devotees .

This material world is a web of problems. Padam padam yad vipadam. However for devotees , the mercy of the spiritual master keeps them safe and protected  from in adverse situation  of the material world. Guru Maharaj your mercy is extremely important for us . Your unending compassion for the conditioned souls makes you very special and we are fortunate to have you as our spiritual master. Even for the lost ones , who think that they have nothing left in life , you continue to inspire them. Your 50000 disciples and others who have known always look toward you with hope in this otherwise hopeless world.

Guru Maharaj , I wound up from Damodardesh last year and relocated to India to try and work there . I tried my hand in a few things including Krishna conscious governance. However, I have not been able to achieve much in that attempt and therefore have again come back to Damodardesh and rejoined my previous company . However, the times have been extremely challenging.   With the pandemic of carona  virus  the job situation along with the present economic and financial systems there is lot of insecurity  ahead .Your shelter and mercy is the only means to overcome the difficulties.

Kindly keep us under your lotus feet and also continue to allow us to serve your lotus feet. We pray to Lord Krishna and Narsinghadev to given you good health and strength. On your 71^st Vyasa Puja , we dedicate ourselves to serving you and the mission of Srila Prabhupada.

Your servant,

Dear Gurudeva,

Please accept my respectful obeisances at your Lotus feet.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.  All glories to you on the auspicious occasion of your Vyasa Puja.

I am very grateful to you Gurumaharaj, for accepting me as your disciple and giving me an opportunity to spread the mission of Srila Prabhupada in whatever insignificant way that i can. I really like preaching and i feel very inspired by you. It is my heartfelt desire to bring as many souls as possible into your shelter and for that i need your blessings.Whenever i hear about your pastimes in JSSS meetings i feel so proud that you are my Gurumaharaj but at the same time i feel that  you are suffering because of an unqualified disciple like me.

The way you are trying to fulfill the mission of Srila Prabhupada with your heart and soul, i wish that i can also follow your instructions the same way and dedicate my life unto your service. I have been facing a few obstacles in my preaching due to the many offences that i commit knowingly or unknowingly so i seek your blessings to overcome them and continue to preach.

I am very happy that my daughter(Sudevi Sunayana dd)  got initiated by you last year. Since i don't know English that well, she keeps sharing with me what she heard in your lectures and she helps in preaching as well. I request you to please bless my son(Suraj), who is not as Krishna conscious but is supportive of us following the process and does some service when he visits us(He's currently working in Muscat or Mathuradesh). He also gives some purify money out of his earnings every month. Requesting you to please bless all of us Gurumaharaj, for it is by your mercy that fallen souls like us can be uplifted.

All glories to His Holiness Sri Srimad Jayapataka Swami Maharaj. All glories to His Divine Grace Sri Srimad Abhay Caranaravinde Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada Maharaj. All glories to the Divine Lordships SRI SRI RADHA MADHAVA. namah om vishnu padaya krishna preshtaya bhutale srimate jayapataka swami iti namine namo acharya padaya nitai kripa pradayine gaura katha dhama dhaya nagara grama tarine Dearest Gurudev, Please accept my humble prostrations (dandavat pranaams) unto your lotus feet. Five years have passed since you have given me initiation. In these five years what have I done to please you? Even though it is said that a disciple can never repay his spiritual master but the conscience says that one must do whatever the disciple is able to do. Gurudev I am at present (46years of age) living with my mother near Simhachalam, Andhra Pradesh, but I feel that unlike my other Godbrothers who serve you closely I am not doing so. Gurudev I was bewildered about life and then by Sri Krishna’s mercy You have come. Then the window of spiritual world opened. By knowing your life story (which I may now also call as pastimes) awareness of sanity has come, even though I do not claim to have realized that sanity in total. This small jnana I believe is a great escape route from the abyss of material madness. A trillion thanks to you. Gurudev only a few times I had your personal Darshan, mostly in the Temple hall and on a couple of occasions at the penthouse atop the Chakra building. Gurudev I am forever indebted to you. Nowadays especially I am feeling separation from you. I pray to Sri Krishna that I get a chance to have your Darshan and take an instruction from you to follow. I pray to Sri Krishna that you are always in bliss. Your servant forever, Ishtadev Damodar das.

Dear Guru Maharaja, please accept my respectful obesciences at your lotus feet.

The past one year has a very eventful one in my spiritual life, especially as I got the opportunity to serve you in Hyderabad and in the GBC meetings at Tirupati. Seeing and associating with you in close helped me rejuvenate my faith in you and in my spiritual practices. I realised that at this neophyte stage of mine, it is very important for me to have your personal association. I pray to lord for further such opportunities in the near future.

Also Guru Maharaja, I am currently working in Hyderabad and staying in one of the youth centre, under the guidance of HG Radheshyam Prabhuji. Prabhuji, regularly visits our centre and inspires us in all aspects of our spiritual life, especially preaching. Under his guidance and  under the guidance of my local authorities, I am assisting(calling the boys, follow up and facilitating) in Corporate preaching in tech park of Hyderabad. Currently he have 24 devotees in our centre and there are about 15 more devotees, who are staying outside , but chanting 2 - 8 rounds on a daily basis.

I beg for your blessings, so that I can be inspired and apply more of my energies and think of newer and newer ways in assisting you in the spreading of this Sankirtana Movement.

I also beg for your mercy, so that I can increase my attachment towards you, especially through your Vani, and thus lifelong be  inspired to carry out your instructions. Also Guru Maharaja, please bless me with the desparacy and urgency to take shelter of your lotus feet and also with the realisation that without taking the shelter of your lotus feet, this life is simply a waste.

Your insignificant servant,

Indranil Chatterjee.

শ্রীশ্রী গুরু-গৌরাঙ্গৌ জয়তুঃ

“আমি কৃষ্ণকৃপাশ্রীমূর্তি শ্রীল জয়পতাকা স্বামী আচার্যপাদের চরণ কমলে আমার দণ্ডবৎ প্রণাম নিবেদন করি, ‍যিনি শ্রীকৃষ্ণের চরণ কমলে আশ্রয় গ্রহণ করে তাঁর অত্যন্ত প্রেষ্ঠ হয়েছেন। আমি সেই শ্রীল জয়পতাকা স্বামী আচার্যপাদের চরণ কমলে আমার দণ্ডবৎ প্রণাম নিবেদন করি, যিনি কৃষ্ণকৃপাশ্রীমূর্তি শ্রীল অভয়চণারবিন্দ ভক্তিবেদান্ত স্বামী প্রভুপাদের এবং পূর্ববর্তী আচার্যদের আকাঙ্ক্ষা, নির্দেশ এবং চরণ কমলের সেবায় নিজেকে সম্পূর্ণভাবে উৎসর্গ করেছেন। তিনি মুক্ত হস্তে শ্রীমন্‌ নিত্যানন্দ প্রভুর কৃপা বর্ষণ করছেন এবং শ্রীচৈতন্য মহাপ্রভুর ধাম, উপদেশ ও দিব্য লীলার মহিমা বিতরণ করছেন। তিনি সমগ্র গ্রামবাসী এবং নগরবাসীদের মধ্যে কৃষ্ণভাবনামৃত প্রচার করে তাদেরকে জড় বন্ধন থেকে মুক্ত করছেন।”

হে পরমারাধ্য, পতিত পাবন গুরুমহারাজ, আজ আপনার ৭১ শুভ আবির্ভাব তিথী ব্যাস-পূজা মহোৎসব উপলক্ষ্যে আপনার রাতুল চরণে আমার ভক্তিপূর্ণ শত সহস্র দণ্ডবৎ প্রণতি জ্ঞাপন করি। করুণাপূর্বক তা গ্রহণ করুন। শ্রীল প্রভুপাদের জয় হোক। গুরু-গৌরাঙ্গের অশেষ কৃপায় আজ এই শুভ তিথীতে আপনার গুণমহিমা করার এই সুযোগ আমারা পেয়েছি। সেইজন্য গুরু-গৌরাঙ্গ-গুণগ্রহী সকল বৈষ্ণবদের শ্রীপাদপদ্মে আমি পুণঃ পুণঃ দণ্ডবৎপ্রণাম জ্ঞাপন করছি। যদিও আপনার গুণমহিমা করার নূন্যতম যোগ্যতা আমার নাই, শুধু এইটুকু জানি যে, যোগ্যতা বিচারে কিছু নাহি পাই, তোমার করুণা ছাড়া।

এই বৎসর রাধাঅষ্টমী তিথীতে আপনার সন্ন্যাসের ৫০তম বৎসর পূর্ণ হতে চলেছে। এটি আমাদের জন্য এক মহা আনন্দের সংবাদ যে সমগ্র ইসকন সংঘঠনের মধ্যে আপনি হচ্ছেন প্রথম আচার্য যিনি শ্রীল প্রভুপাদের সেবায় সন্ন্যাসের ৫০টি বছর অতিক্রম করে সমগ্র বৈষ্ণব সমাজের উজ্জ্বল মুকুটমণিস্বরূপ বিদ্যমান। গুরুদেব আপনি মহাত্মা, শুদ্ধভক্ত, পরম ভাগবত, শাস্ত্রের মূর্ত বিগ্রহ। গঙ্গায় অবগাহন বা স্পর্শ করার পরেই কেবল মানুষকে পবিত্র করে। কিন্তু আপনা দর্শন করা মাত্রই জীব পবিত্র হয়ে যায়।

যেষাং সংস্মরণাৎ পুংসাং সদ্যঃ শুদ্ধ্যন্তি বৈ গৃহা ।
কিং পুনর্দর্শনস্পর্শপাদশৌচাসনাদিভিঃ ।।

কেবলমাত্র আপনাকে স্মরণ করার ফলে আমাদের গৃহ তৎক্ষণাৎ পবিত্র হয়ে যায়, অতএব আপনাকে দর্শন, স্পর্শন, পাদ প্রক্ষালন এবং গৃহে আসনাদি দান করার ফলে যে কি লাভ হয়, তা কে বর্ণনা করতে পারে। (শ্রীমদ্ভাগবত- ১/১৯/৩৩)

শ্রীল প্রভুপাদ বলেছেন আপনি হচ্ছেন গৌর-ধন-জন। গৌরাঙ্গ যার জীবন-ধন, মন, প্রাণ সমগ্র অস্তিত্ত্বে যার গৌরাঙ্গ। শ্রীমন্‌ নিত্যানন্দ ও গৌরাঙ্গ মহাপ্রভু যেমন জাতি, বর্ণ নির্বিশেষে অকাতরে কৃষ্ণপ্রেমের বন্যায় এই জগৎ জীবদের ভাসিয়েছিলেন ঠিক তেমনই আপনি বর্তমানে - ‘গৌরাঙ্গ’ ‘গৌরাঙ্গ’ ‘গৌরাঙ্গ’ কীর্তনের মাধ্যমে সকলকে শ্রীগৌরাঙ্গের পাদপদ্মে নিমজ্জিত করছেন। তাই আপনি পূর্বাচর্যমনোঽভীষ্টং । আপনি গৌরাঙ্গ মহাপ্রভুর নিজজন ও পতিত পাবন, তাই আমার মতো হতভাগ্য, অধম পতিত জীব এই লোভেই আপনার শ্রীচরণ তলের শীতল ছায়ায় আশ্রয় লাভের অধিকার পেয়েছে।

গুরুমহারাজ আমি শ্রীপাদ শ্যামরসিক প্রভুর কাছে শুনেছি যে আপনি হচ্ছেন ভীষ্ম দেবের মতো – ভীষ্মদেব যেমন কুরুবংশের সকল বিপদে আপদে সব সময় সামনে থেকে তা প্রতিহত করতেন তেমনি আপনিও আপনার শিষ্যদের তাথা ইসকন সংস্থাকে সদা সর্বদা সংরক্ষণ করছেন। এমনকি অত্যন্ত অসুস্থ থাকা সর্ত্ত্বেও আজও অবধি আপনি সকলকে ভগবদ্ভক্তির মর্গ প্রদর্শন করে যাচ্ছেন। শ্রীশ্রীমৎ রাধানাথ স্বামী মহারাজ বলেছেন যে “আপনি হচ্ছেন বর্তমান ইসকন এর একটি বড় খুটি বা পিলার। আপনি না থাকলে কে আমাদের দেখে রাখবে।”

গুরুমহারাজ আপনার অহৈতুকী করুনার বর্ণনা কে করতে পারে? অত্যন্ত অধপতিত হওয়া শর্তেও আমি গত কিছুদিন ধরে আপনার বপু সেবার অধিকার পেয়েছি। এটি আমার প্রতি আপনার বিশেষ দয়া।

সব কিছুই নির্ভর করে গহণকর্তার শক্তির উপর। যেমন, প্রচণ্ড সূর্যকিরণে বহু বনস্পতি এবং ফুল শুকিয়ে যায়, আবার অন্য অনেক বনস্পতি খুব সুন্দরভাবে বৃদ্ধি পায়। এইভাবে বৃদ্ধি এবং হ্রাস নির্ভর করে গ্রহীতার উপর। তেমনই, মহীয়সাং পাদ-রজোহভিষেকম্‌—মহাপুরুষের পাদপদ্মের রজ গ্রহীতাকে সর্ববিধ মঙ্গল প্রদান করে, কিন্তু সেই রজই আবার ক্ষতি করতে পারে। যাঁরা মহাত্মার শ্রীপাদপদ্মে অপরাধ করেন, তাঁদের সমস্ত দিব্য সদ্‌গুণগুলি বিনষ্ট হয়ে যায় এবং তারা শুকিয়ে যায়। মহাত্মা অপরাধ ক্ষমা করতে পারেন, কিন্তু শ্রীকৃষ্ণ সেই মহাপুরুষের চরণ-কমলের ধূলির প্রতি কৃত অপরাধ ক্ষমা করেন না, ঠিক যেমন কেউ তাঁর মস্তকে প্রচণ্ড সূর্যকিরণ সহ্য করতে পারেন কিন্তু তাঁর চরণে সেই তীব্র সূর্যকীরণ সহ্য করতে পারেন না।  (শ্রীমদ্ভাগবত- ৪/৪/১৩ ভক্তিবেদান্ত তাৎপর্য)

গুরুমহারজ আমি জনিনা কায়, মন, বাক্যে কতটুকু আপনার সেবা আমি করতে পারব। আজ এইশুভ দিনে আপনার শ্রীচরণে এই মিনতি করি কখনো যেন আপনার চরণে কোন অপরাধ না করি। আমাকে দয়া করুন যাতে করে নাম অপরাধ, সেবা অপরাধ থেকে মুক্ত হতে পারি। গুরু-গৌরাঙ্গের সেবায় এই জীবনটি অতিবাহিত করতে পারি। কখনো যেন আপনার সেবা থেকে বঞ্চিত না হই। যে কোন প্রকারেই হোক না কেন আপনার শ্রীচরণের শীতল ছায়া থেকে যেন আমি বঞ্চিত না হই।

গুরুমহারাজ আমি বর্তমানে জেপিএস আরকাইভ এবং পাবলিকেশন্স এ সবা রত আছি শ্রীপাদ বিদ্ধান গৌরাঙ্গ প্রভু এবং শ্যামরসিক প্রভুর তত্ত্বাবধানে। গতবছর আমি বলেছিলাম যে টি.ও.ভি.পি মন্দির উদ্ভোদন হওয়ার পূর্বেই শ্রীমদ্ভাগবত কম পক্ষে ১বার পড়ে শেষ করার ইচ্ছা পোষণ করেছিলাম। বর্তমানে আমি শ্রীমদ্ভাগবতের ৪র্থ স্কন্ধ এর নবম অধ্যায়ে অধ্যয়নরত আছি। আর্শিবাদ করবেন যাতে শ্রীমদ্ভগবদ্গীতা, শ্রীমদ্ভাগবত, শ্রীচৈতন্য-চরিতামৃত ইত্যাদি ভক্তিমূলক গ্রন্থে পড়ার প্রতি আমার আগ্রহ বৃদ্ধি প্রাপ্ত হয়।

শ্রীল প্রভুপাদ তার ভক্তিবেদান্ত তাৎপর্যে লিখেছেন যে, কেউ যদি জড় জগতের বন্ধন থেকে মুক্ত হতে চান, তা হলে তাঁকে মহাত্মাদের সঙ্গ করতে হবে। তাই পরিশেষে এই মিনতি করছি আমি যেন আমার ইন্দ্রিয় গুলেকে পবিত্র করতে পারি এবং সদা সর্বদা গুরু-গৌরাঙ্গ ও শুদ্ধভক্তদের সঙ্গ করতে পরি। যাতে—অন্তে নারায়ণ-স্মৃতি এই স্থিতি লাভ হয়।

Namo Om Vishnupadaya Krsna Presthaya Bhu-tale

Srimate Jayapataka Swamin Iti Namine

Namo Acarya Padaya Nitai Krpa Pradayine

Gaura Katha Dhama Daya Nagara Grama Tarine

Respected Guru Maharaj,

Please accept my most respectful obeisances unto the dust of your lotus feet.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

All glories to you and our present Acaryas!

All glories to your 71st Sri Vyas-Puja Mahotsava!!

To write something about you seems very easy and at the same time difficult too. I have so many things to be grateful to you for but also I am not able to express those in some limited words. Still as a matter of duty, love and obedience I shall humbly try to write down something about the glories of you, Gurudev.

Without your shelter and incessant love for us, it would be impossible for us to continue in Bhakti. If I really want to be a Vaishnava, I should take lessons from your exemplary character. You never waste your time. In fact, yesterday itself I was discussing with a devotee and wondered how you could manage everything in just 24 hrs. It seems you need some more hours in a day.  Your body, prakriti, time etc. may appear as some stumbling blocks in your motion of spreading Krsna-consciousness throughout the world. Still you never care of those things and move on like a King’s elephant.

There are many qualities of you I should learn and imbibe in myself. But out of those the most prominent I feel is your Caring nature. I have heard it many times from senior devotees that how you give yourself completely to listen to their problems and solve them, you are so concerned about others’ well-being. One time even before going to GBC meeting you stopped by an old lady and asked about her and her experience in Mayapur Dham. Being a Sannyasi, a Guru, GBC, a leader of many, could have avoided these petty things but you always make sure that everyone should be cared for . In 2015 day after Gaura Purnima, by Lord Krsna’s grace I was fortunate enough to get your personal association and that time also you asked me the same things and I felt very warmth coming in contact with your so much love and care. HG Haridhvani mataji also told that you once gave your own sunscreen to the safari devotees and I feel amazed that you care for the small things of the devotees.

Apparently we may see you sick, sometimes dependent on others for physical support but this is a fact that whenever and wherever you go, you simply infect people around you with spiritual energy, bliss and Gauranga fever and this way you actually cure us from our material sickness and give us various opportunities to serve you. It gives me goosebumps and tears in my eyes when you describe the very famous pastime of Lord Nityananda saving the two most fallen Jagai and Madhai where in spite of Madhai hurting Nityananda prabhu with a broken pot and made Him bleed, the all merciful, Patita-pavana Nityananda prabhu told him “merechhish kolshir kana, tai bole ki Prem debona!!" (Shall I stop giving you love because you have hit me with an earthen pot? All glories to Lord Nityananda! All glories to Lord Gauranga!! You not only preach the philosophy but practice it in your own life as an Acarya. You accepted the mood of Lord Nitai and the pastime reminded me of yours when a crazy man slit your throat in Spain airport and caused you bleed heavily and upon arresting the person you asked the Police to forgive him. Also some of your careless disciples who are not keeping their vows at the time of their initiation and thus making you suffer, you take that sufferings voluntarily and are ready to forgive them if they again take to Krsna-consciousness seriously.

I bow down my head before you and ask forgiveness for the offenses I have made in past that affected you physically and emotionally. I truly mean that Guru Maharaj and also I pray to you so that I may be able to rectify myself and be always engaged to activities which are pleasing to you. With your blessings I may enter into Grihastha ashram this year. I beg your blessings for our Krsna-consciousness life ahead and also kindly empower us so that we may also be able to serve you and Guru-parampara in spreading the glories of the Holy Name –

HARE KRSNA HARE KRSNA KRSNA KRSNA HARE HARE

HARE RAMA HARE RAMA RAMA RAMA HARE HARE!!

MY DEAR GURU MAHARAJ DANDAVAT PRANAM

I OFFER MY HUMBE OBEISANCES AT YOUR LOTUS FEET.ALL GLORIES TO SHRILA PRABHUPADA ,

MY SHSHA GURUS AND NUMAROUS BHATAGANA.

I HAVE NO QUALIFICATION TO PRAISE YOU . I HAVE NO QUALIFICATION TO GLORIFY YOU. BUT YOU ARE MY

KRISHNA BHAGAVAN AND I AM TOTALLY DEPEND ON YOUR MERCY.I AM VERY UNFORTUNATE NOT TO SERVE YOU IN PPERSON

BUT I AM TRYING TO CARRY YOUR ORDERS TO BEST OF MY ABILITY. ENVIRONMENT SURROUNDING ME IS NOT VERY GOD TO CARRY KRISHNA SEVA BUT AT MY HEART I AM TRYING MY BEST TO SERVE KRISHNA, GAURA NITAI AND  DEVOTTEES.

I AM CARRYING OUT VERY SMALL SERVICE IN SPREADING sHRILA pRABUPADA MESSGAE BY CONDUCTING GITA CLASSES ON EVERY EKADASHI AT T THE TEMPLE AT OUR COMPLES.

PL BESSME TO RENDER MORE SERVICE TO KRISHNA.

YOUR UNFORTUNATE DICABLE

JAGADISH MANOHAR DAS

I offer my respectful obeisances at the lotus feet of Jai Om Visnupada Paramahamsa Parivrajakacarya Astottarasata Sri Srimad Jayapataka Swami Maharaja. He has taken complete shelter at the reddish lotus feet of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Sri Krishna Caitanya by his preaching efforts in taking the holy names of the lord in every town and village.

Dear Guru Maharaja, 

On your 71st Vyasa puja celebration, I submit my million obeisances unto you for having appeared in my life and mercifully placing the seed of devotional service in my reluctant heart. 

Caitanya Caritamrta, Madya 19.151 says,

brahmāṇḍa bhramite kona bhāgyavān jīva

guru-kṛṣṇa-prasāde pāya bhakti-latā-bīja

After wandering through millions of planets in millions of species, by the mercy of Guru and Krishna, one gets the seed of devotional service. 

Srila Prabhupada writes in the purport to Caitanya Caritamrta, Madya 19.152 that "The word guru-prasāda indicates that the spiritual master is very merciful in bestowing the boon of devotional service upon the disciple. That is the best possible gift the spiritual master has to offer." I beg you to give me the realization that you have offered me the best gift and then let me properly take care of it. 

Caitanya Caritamrta, Madya 19.152 says,

śravaṇa-kīrtana-jale karaye secana

If one waters the seed gradually by the process of śravaṇa and kīrtana [hearing and chanting], the seed will begin to sprout.

After receiving the bhakti lata bij from you, I have taken shelter of a few of your God brothers particularly with importance HH Bhakti Vikas Swami, for the watering process of sravana-kirtana. In their shelter I am feeling bliss in this divine process of bhakti yoga. The fruit of Krsna prema has not manifested to me. But I see that due to the absolute nature even the process of bhakti is sweet. What then can be said of the all sweet love of Krishna that the creeper can produce!

Guru Maharaja, except for one instance, I did not have any personal association with you. But you are inspiring me by your deeds. The most wonderful thing that I see in your personality is your tireless service to Prabhupada amidst worst bodily conditions. I am definitely one of those wicked persons responsible for your bodily condition. Please forgive me for committing offenses at your lotus feet. My illicit desires to enjoy material existence is haunting me. (If not for HH Bhakti Vikas Swami, my situation would have been irrecoverably worse. Hope you are pleased for my taking guidance from one of your dear God brothers HH Bhakti Vikas Swami.) Serving my lusty desires, my body is endlessly giving me pains and troubles. My mind is filled with fear due to attachment to body. Please severe my attachment to my pain-giving body. I see that you are inconceivably dealing with your body. We often hear that your bodily parts are malfunctioning. Just like our philosophy of acintya bhedabheda, you are also inconceivably attached to your body in serving Krishna and non attached by your indifference to bodily situation. Your strong subtle body musters to serve Krishna unceasingly. By tirelessly working with your spiritualized body, you are making us attach to your divine body by worshipping it. Simultaneously by your action of callousness to your bodily situation in travelling and preaching, you're teaching us to transcend the bodily concept of life. 

Guru Maharaja, Your transcendental body with all its organs and parts are our inspiration and I offer my million obeisances to each and every part of your transcendental body to relieve me from my bodily concept of life.

your eternal servant, 

jaganmohangopal dasa,

Brahmacari, ISKCON Salem, India.

Hare Krishna, My Dear Guru Maharaj and My Spiritual Father,

All Glories to Sree Sree Guru and Gauranga. Shreela Prabhupaad maharaja ki jay.Please accept our humble respectable dandavat obeisances pranam to Guru Maharaaj’s lotus feet.

Calling forth all glories and all victory to Gurudev on Gurumaharaj’s most auspicious 71^st vyasapuja.

Guru Mahārāja, You are distributing the unlimited mercy of Lord Nityanand in this world, incessantly, still I am such unfortunate and useless fallen disciple of yours, who failed to get the chance of your association.

But when I get the chance to have your darshans from a distance or from facebook , I feel myself to be truly fortunate, because just by your darshan, you can make my mind, consciousnessbody, and fixed in Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

Therefore, please bless me so that no matter where you stay, I may always feel your presence in the core of my heart.

I humbly seek your mercy and blessings so that I can continue to serve you eternally at your lotus feet, to be always in the association of devotees, for attentively chanting, for regular book reading,  book disctributing and doing arathi to the satsamgam too.

Please bless me so that I am always engaged in devotional service and spread kṛṣṇa consciousness wherever I go. Please bless us my whole family to do more and more Krishna seva in the coming years.

Your Humble and Insignificant Servant,

 Jaganatha Pathithapavana Das(Diksa Disciple)

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaj, 

Dandavat pranams, 

Kindly forgive me if anything wrong with my offerings. 

From the day of my initiation, my prayers to jagannath baladev subadra devi is some how I must follow the 3 promises which I made to you. By their mercy I chanted my everyday minimum 16 rounds without fail. Seeking your blessings always that this insignificant and low born person should follow the promises, which I made to you lifelong. 

My only prayers at your lotus feet is, I should help you in spreading srila prabhupada's movement to introduce many persons in to chanting and take care of them with out disturbing the other devotees. 

My commitment to your words only shall be the offering, which the worm like me shall make for your appearance day. Please accept my humble obeisances. 

Your insignificant servant. 

Hare Krishna Srila Guru Maharaj,

Please Accept my respectfull humble obeisances

All glories to srila Prabhupad

All glories to you, my dear gurudev

Am one of the diksa desciple among of your thousands of qualified desciples. I hope and pray that you will accept this homages for the auspicious occasion of   71st vyaspuja celebrations and me as your insignificant desciple.

Recently when your Holiness visited ISKCON Juhu Mumbai, there I enquired about your message for future generation dated 16th of January 2020. I really would love to accept your instructions as my life and take up some responsible service and excute it sincerely with Krishna Concious Society as you answered. Your continuous endevers to spread krishna Conciousness all over the world inspite of your health crisis is really inspire us and gives us hope that your Holiness is really concerned about your Spiritual sons and daughters.

When I can really understand your mood and mission for spreading the glory of Sri Chaitaya mahaprabhu and His devine grace mercy ?  

When I was hearing your offerings on disappearce day celebrations of srila Prabhupad in mayapur,  I could'nt understand your anxiety for bringing all the vaishnavas under one banner. Please give me spiritual strength to remember guru and gaura along with sinciar practice of krishna Conciousness.

Your aspiring insignificant servant

Hare Krsna Guru maharaja,
Please accept my humble obeisances to your lotus feet..All Glories to Srila Prabhupada,All Glories to your Divine Grace,

Guru Maharaja,
Your causeless mercy has touched the lives of so many.. including mine,for a darshan of your holiness for a fallen soul like mine is too much to ask for.

Your mercy knows no limits and I have personally seen and experienced this.

On this auspicious day I would like to humbly thank lord Krsna and your holiness for allowing me to express my gratitude.

I humbly pray for your merciful glances to be upon my family and me so that one day we would be able to serve you and live up to your expectations.

My humble obeisances to Śrī Śrī Rādhā Mādhava.

My humble obeisances to Śrīla Prabhupāda and all his followers, Ācāryas, Guru Mahārāja and all vaiṣṇavas, Śikṣā-guru, Bhānu Swami Mahārāja and to every one who is attending this Vyāsa-pūjā. 

This Vyāsa-pūjā, is very special because the Lord has permitted Guru Mahārāja to be with us. All of us are praying for Guru Mahārāja's long life. This is an examination for us how much we are attached with Guru Mahārāja. As per ones own circumstances how much we are concentrating on Guru Mahārāja's lotus feet and praying for eternal life. 

Simply by following Guru Mahārāja's instructions we can go to Kṛṣṇa, not doing so we will be always in the hands of birth and death. One devotee from another sampradāya asked me, "Can you show me the Lord or have you seen Him?" I told electricity or air can not be seen but we can feel like that. The devotee replied than the other side also where we can see Kṛṣṇa or his own God through spiritual master. Yes we are practically experiencing the presence of Kṛṣṇa when we are hearing Vedic scriptures through spiritual master. 

Whenever my mind is disturbed I remember the lotus feet of Guru Mahārāja. Then it becomes okay. Every disciple might have experienced it. 

I am sharing the meaning of one Hindi poem. 

"If a Spiritual master and Lord Govinda both come together I will pay my first praṇām to Guru only because of his mercy only showed God. I will also lead my life giving first preference to my spiritual master so that both Guru and Kṛṣṇa will be pleased."

Desiring the service to the lotus feet of Guru Mahārāja,

This vyasa puja, is very special because the Lord has permitted Gurumaharaj to be with us. All of us are praying for Gurumaharaj's long life. This is an examination for us how much we are attached with Gurumaharaj. As per ones own circumstances how much we are concentrating on Gurumaharaj's lotus feet and praying for eternal life. 

Simply by following Gurumaharaj's instructions we can go to krishna, not doing so we will be always in the hands of birth and death.

All glories to śrī guru and gaurāṅga

My dear spiritual father, please accept my respectful obeisances at the dust of your divine lotus feet. All glories to the most auspicious tithi of your appearance. All glories to śrīla prabhupada.

Gurumahārāja, when you came to Mayapur from Chennai on 20^th February 2019, devotees celebrated the event by naming the festival as:

KRISHNA GAVE YOU BACK TO US!

Mayapur Home Coming with Jayapataka_Swami

You addressed the devotees by briefing about your liver and kidney transplantation. You said as to how you have been waiting in Chennai for four months for the transplantation, but nothing happened. Surely, Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya who is very dear to you had his own plan and wanted to arrange everything for you. You visited the government hospital and it was supposed to be a visit to check the possibility of getting the organs, but Kṛṣṇa arranged everything that it happened very quickly on the very next day, 15^th August 2018. Even the newspaper carried an article about how you got the organs so quickly which usually takes so long, everyone waiting in the line.

You came to Mayapur on 20^th February and the next two days you worked on the upcoming “Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya” book wherein comes the account of Lord revealing as to how He saved his devotees in their past event. Somehow, these two pastimes seem like an announcement from the Lord because these narrations of the pastimes were not pre-planned but coincided with your arrival and your speaking about the pastimes.

Śrīvāsa Ṭhākura’s being saved by the Lord was narrated on the next day on 21^st. This is narrated from Caitanya Candrodaya Nāṭaka as follows:

Lord Caitanya:  Çréväsa, do you remember how with My hand I once forcibly stopped your life breath from leaving your body?

Çréväsa: (remembers) Yes, I know, O Lord of Lords. I remember that I was forcefully saved from death by someone. While listening to the story of Prahlāda Mahārāja, the moment arrived. I became unconscious and, under the spell of death, I fell from a balcony to the courtyard below. Then someone rescued me from the mouth of death.

Lord Caitanya:  It was I that appeared to you in a dream. It was I that gave back your life when it was ended.

Then the very next day on 22^nd, the narration from Caitanya Bhāgavata of how Gaṅgādāsa Paṇḍita was saved personally by the Lord Himseld was declared by the Lord which is as follows:

While narrating the previous activities of Gaìgädäsa Paëòita that were unknown to all, the Lord said, “When you felt great danger because of not finding a boat on the bank of the Ganges to escape the harassment of the Yavana king, at that time I assumed the form of a boatman and took you in a boat across the Ganges. No one except you knows about this. But I know.”

So, why should the narration of these two pastimes should be done on the two consecutive days of your arrival to Mayapur? Surely, these must be an announcement from the Lord as to how the Lord saved His devotees in the past, saves His devotees in the present and will continue to save His devotees in the future. You mentioned a phrase about undergoing this experience as, ‘’coming out from the jaw of death”, and so the Lord has hinted of His involvement with the narration of the incidents about Śrīvāsa Ṭhākura and Gaṅgādāsa Paṇḍita. Therefore, it was aptly celebrated your arrival to Mayapur as: 

KRISHNA GAVE YOU BACK TO US!

Mayapur Home Coming with Jayapataka_Swami

You are so much detailed in every aspect of dealing with devotees and everyone else whoever comes in touch with you. You even are thinking of novel means to spread Krishna Consciousness to every one. For instance, you inspried devortees to send quotes from Bhāgavatam and other scriptures with the brand name Go-Run-Go and Kee-Tie. People without any knowledge of Gaurāṅga and Nitāi are made to chant Go-Run-Go and Kee-Tie, but are playfully chanting Gaurāṅga and Nitāi. This is just only one example of numerous ways you are giving the people unknown sukṛti. 

On the day of Navadvīpa Maṇḍala Parikaramā Mahāmilan 2020, you spoke recounting the realization of one of the devotees that did Parikramā

It was very nice to hear the realizations yesterday! One person said that they were suffering so they wore shoes. And some elderly man who came up to him, I don’t know if it was Krsna in disguise, and said, I need shoes, someone took my shoes, so I gave my shoes, what could I do? Then he said, that somehow the holy name seemed to be coming from his mouth, automatically! 

Thus, you are teaching the importance of Vaiṣṇava-sevā even while one does Parikramā. Then you further told devotees to write down their realizations and made the assembled thousands of devotees to chant Gaurāṅga and Nityānanda.

I hope all of you have written your realizations in the form provided. So just to satisfy the prediction of Śrla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura, we should chant three times, Jaya Śacīnandana! Jaya Śacīnandana!Jaya Śacīnandana!  Gaurāṅga ! Gaurāṅga ! Gaurāṅga ! Nityānanda! Nityānanda! Nityānanda! Dhanyavād! Nanḍri!

Thus you concluded your inspiring speech. Not just lecturing to the crowd, but even to your intimate servants, you remind them about Gaurāṅga and Nityānanda. At present, when the whole world is talking about Corono Virus, you sang Parama Karuṇa song and added the line Parama-Karuṇa-Virus of Gaurāṅga and Nityānanda.

Since you are the person Bhāgavata, glorifying you would be as good as the book Bhāgavata and there is no limit to such glorification because one can never finish glorifying, but still for the Vyāsa-pūjā book, this is my tiny offering to you.

Your spiritual son, Jayarādhākṛṣṇa dāsa

To my dear Spiritual Father, 

Hare Krsna Gurumaharaja! Dandavats.

Please accept my respectful obeisances and all glories to Srila Prabhupada. 

I am wishing you a very divine and blessed 71st Vyasa Puja! May this year bring an abundance of love and esoteric blessings to you and all of your spiritual family.

I am most grateful to Krsna and Srila Prabhupada that I have received you as my spiritual master. You are an Uttama Vaishnava and present the finest caliber of devotional service.

In this world of illusion, Srila Gurumaharaja you are an ardent ray of truth and sincerity. You are finely ornamented with authenticity and genuineness. Your purity of heart and absolute surrender are unsurpassable and place you on an untouchable platform. You are the embodiment of sincerity. We are most fortunate to have you as our Cheif, guiding us on the path back to Krsna. Thank you for being a living example of the teachings of Sri Krsna Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Thank you for showing us how to properly walk the path given to us by Srila Prabhupada and chalked out by Srila Jiva Goswami.

The human form of life is a precious gift from Krsna. Human beings need to be properly educated by the Mother  Veda in order to learn how to utilise the human form of life for serving God. I humbly pray that you can give this healing of spiritual education to all of humanity. I humbly pray this year that Krsna and the Guruparampara will empower you to conscecrate and bless the entire earth with pure unalloyed devotional service. I humbly pray that you may be able fullfill Srila Prabhupada's Mission and respirtualize all of humanity. I humbly pray that by the power of the Holy name, may you be able to make everything on earth sacred again.

I bow down again and again to your lotus feet. For you are the bestower of bhakti and I owe my every breathe to you. I thank you again and again from the core of my heart for teaching me about the virtue of humility. Humility is the crest jewel of Caitanya Mahaprabhu's teachings and this does not come cheap. Thank you for this rare opportunity to humble myself before you and to work on learning about real humility.  

I humbly beg to you that I may always stay attached to your lotus feet  and eternally stay under your loving shelter. I pray that I may have the good fortune to remain obedient to your orders and give you what you exactly what you ask of me and more!

Thank you for illuminating my life and nourishing my heart with the power of your love! Your giving heart and pure love have the power to heal the whole world. I pray that Krsna may bless you with greater and new dimensions of love, health, and vigor for serving the Mission!  

You are a beautiful warrior of love and light! Victory belongs to you and you shall triumph! I look foward to many many more brilliant years of helping you serve Srila Prabhupada and the previous Acaryas!

Have a very sacred 71st Vyasa Puja!!!

With love from your spiritual daughter,

Ofrenda de Vyasa Puja del 2020

En este dia tan especial , de su aparicion trascendental y al mismo tiempo inusual, por la influencia de este mal, que nos afecta a todos y nos pone a reflexionar, quisiera expresarle unas palabras, que lo puedan glorificar, mas alla de las distancias , a su persona sin igual,

y en profunda separacion, como me encuentro hoy, fortalezca mi deseo, de incrementar nuestra union.

 Yo se que estoy muy lejos y cubierto de ignorancia y de pasion pero usted padre querido, me otorga la sensacion, de que siempre esta a mi lado y me da su proteccion.

 Esto es algo muy hermoso y me libra del temor, del acecho de los males y me llena de emocion, ilumina mi camino y me nutre el corazon.

 Oh querido padre, que tan afortunado soy, de contar con su presencia, en este mundo de afliccion, sus cualidades son tan grandes que no encuentro explicacion , como puede una persona, estar llena de tanto amor y resolver tantos conflictos de personas como yo.

Oh querido padre , no me abandone nunca y deme su compasion , soy un niño tonto que esta hambriento de su amor, estoy solo en este mundo sin ninguna direccion, su persona es mi barco y sus palabras el timon, que me guian por la vida ,que es un oceano de ilusion.

No tengo otro refugio, ni esperanza ni valor, estoy desprovisto de todo, con una sola posecion, que es mi joya muy valiosa y es su ejemplo arrasador. Usted nunca se detiene y esta fijo en la mision, de Gauranga-Nityananda y de nuestro Acarya Fundador.

Eso es digno de alabanza y una gran aportacion , que pone vivos a los muertos y a los vivos en accion. Despierta mi conciencia y me brinda inspiracion, con esa fuerza que lo mueve, que no tiene comparacion, es el motor de la vida , es la fuerza del amor. Amor que lo envuelve todo, amor incondicional, amor conquistador, amor con conviccion.

Oh querido padre ,gracias por siempre estar, en el momento preciso, la circunstacia y el lugar, dentro de nuestros corazones y que nos ayude a sanar, los imprevistos de la vida y que le enseñe a caminar , a este pobre niño que apenas puede gatear, que se para y se tropieza, pero que no quiere abandonar, el estar siempre a su lado y hacer su voluntad.

Mi querido padre, no hay final para las palabras que lo puedan glorificar, ni como medir al hacerlo, la emocion que pueda brotar, usted es mi guerrero, un guerrero ideal, sin importar lo que pase, siempre dispuesto a luchar. Cada vez que me confundo y se nubla mi vision, su recuerdo me ilumina y me muestra donde voy y aunque sigo preso en este mundo, ya no siento la presion, yo sigo dando pasos en busca de la liberacion.

Oh querido padre ya se aclara mi mision   usted es como un oasis en medio del desierto, un jardin en el camino y una bella cancion,  que alegran los corazones, que estan llenos de dolor, de personas inestables, de personas como yo.

Oh querido padre, ya para finalizar y aprovechar la situacion, imploro una ultima cosa y esta es mi oracion:

Vuelvase mi virus y penetre mi corazon, saque la basura y ponga compasion,

Contagie mis pensamientos con pensamientos del Señor

Influya en mis acciones para que no caiga en el error, que actue con conciencia, quiero ser inspiracion

y afecte mis palabras para que no hable sin nocion, que hable con sentido, que hable del amor, del amor que personificas , del amor de DIOS.

 Su insignificante aspirante a sirviente Jayadeva Hari Dasa.        

Dear Gurumaharaj,

Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet all glories to Srila Prabhupad and You.

I would like to express my gratitude towards to you. You are a very compassionate spiritual father who cares for everyone and is concerned for all in every crisis. Even if doctors give advises to take rest and your personal servants forbid you, you still go beyond and do everything you can, to serve devotees, Srila Prabhupad and Mayapur. You are executing Srila Prabhupada’s instructions from your heart, distributing thousands of books and encouraging so many people to do Krishna Consciousness.

Thank You Guru Maharaj for coming to Balaramdesh. Thank you for making my parents devotees and engaging us in Krishna consciousness. What would have happen to us if you wouldn’t have come to Bahrain? Thank you for everything you are doing for us. Please bless us so that we can serve you and please continue to shower your mercy on us.

                                                                                                                                                Your insignificant servant

Dearest Guru Maharajah,

Please accept my most humble obeisances at the dust of your lotus feet.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Hare Krishna, with your blessings last time I was able to do Vrindavan parikrama and the experience is wonderful and it is so wonderful that as long as I live I want to do this parikrama.Last year, during jhulan yatra I saw you,after that it’s been quite long time I haven’t seen you directly..My mind is craving for your darshan, day by day the desire to live in mayapur, to be around you is increasing more and more..Whenever I see you, I start crying.I feel why I am so far from you??I know I am a fallen soul,due to my mistakes only I’m suffering now.But still I strongly wish to see you daily,I want to touch your lotus feet.You are my shore,you are my support,you are my world.Wherever your feet landed that place has become heaven,such is the magic you possess.Who has your attention over him can’t be afraid.The water that falls out of clouds on us to quench our thirst, you are that stream of elixir of life.

This is my realisation,going beyond this material world your health is absolutely fine in spiritual world..I want to remember some lines from a famous song, ‘’ O ocean of mercy,be merciful unto your servant.Give me the shade of your lotus feet and purify me.I do not find the strength to carry on alone the sankirtan of the holy name of Hari. Please bless me by giving me just one drop of faith with that to obtain the great treasure of the holy name of Krsna.Krsna is yours.You have the power to give him to me.I am simply your servant running behind you.’’

Life is a river, it waves flow on and on .The heart’s ship sometimes gets drowned, sometimes it is saved.If you are not the guide, how I will reach the destination??If the waves get turbulent,we come in your refuge.

One instant is brightness the other moment is all darkness.Why won’t the heart fear??? When the mind is on the cross roads,which path to follow??Who other than you would explain????

Last year I took shelter unto your lotus feet and since then I’m strongly waiting to be your spiritual daughter...Please fulfill my dream very soon..Also a very important decision I am going to take , please be with me, guide me, correct me, bless me. Hare Krishna

Although we are not  qualified to write ,  please accept this offerings at your lotus feet  with your causeless mercy of this fallen soul .

We are happy to share that , with all your mercy and mercy of our siksha gurus, we have taken shelter in the month of Oct 2019 inTirupati, A.P. It also happened so miracaly. By this incident  faith further  increased and  we are able to see good in every situation and changes in our life.  

71st Vyasa puja is a very special and auspicious day in the life of each and every soul that has taken your shelter Guru Mahārāja .  inspite of your health condition, you have taken pain in travelling  fulfilling prabhupāda's instructions and gave  Gaurāṅga's love to more souls in Bangaldesh , Atlanta and other parts of the world.

You are the source of inspiration to each and every soul  and never letting your spirit down even in such bodily conditions.

We are very much blessed for seeing you and getting shelter in tirupati and this is the most  happiest moments in our lilfe.

After taking  blessings , We are much more  inspired and commitment in our sadhana also increased  . We are daily watching your classes in face book and our taste to hear pastimes of Chaitanya Mahaprabhus  increased.

Our love towards Kṛṣṇa and commitment towards the words spoken by you and Prabhupāda and by seeing our śīkṣā gurus comitments towards you are increasing and   helping us sincerely to move  forward and  in improving Bhakti , Preaching and service towards  Lord. We are regularly participating in temple activities and thankful to Lord  Krishna,  temple authorities and Vaishnavas for giving services.

With all your blessings, during this year, we inspired 10 to 15 souls to chant harinam regularly and during book marathon, distributed around 75 BG’s.

When ever we  hear your keertan our eyes filled with tears in happiness.

When ever we watch your previous classes may be shooted during paikramans or in some other places the way which you treat your god brothers and other senior vishnavas inspires us how we should go further in our bhakti life and many more things for us to learn and implement in our life.

Hence this is a small offering to you on your vyasa pūjā .Guru mahārāja please accept our offerings. Please forgive us if any mistakes written by us. We pray the Supreme Lord Kṛṣṇa ,Lord Nityānanda and Gaurasunder and Pañcatatva and Guru Parapara to improve your health more and more so that you have to uplift many fallen souls like us.

You are the source of inspiration and spiritual strength for us Guru Mahārāja. On this auspicious occasion we beg your blessings so that we can contribute more service at your lotus feet and help you in spreading the message of Lord Chaitanya so that we can always stay protected under your divine shelter and guidance of our śīkṣā gurus..

On this auspicious event I would like to seek your blessings to get a krsna conscious child as i am tring to concieve from past 1year, i have taken medication . For this I spoke to HG Rasamayi Mataji from New Rajapur Jagganath Dham Banagalore. As per her advice i sent my horoscope to HH Bhanu Maharaj. He said this problem will get solved in month of April. Gurumaharj please bless me so that I can upring a child in your service.

I am unable to express my feeling as every time i am praying to attend Mangal Arati but this time I happy to share with you that because of your blessings I am able attend Mangal arati daily now.   Thank you supporting me always, i would like to tell you one thing. Here, in Surat I shared with you that I go ISKCON VESU center which is very near to my home but the president of the center never support me for preaching.Because of that in Month of Kartik I got depressed. Now i have started going to HG Swarna Gaurhari Prabhu.I dont know whether I am right or wrong.

I Pray to Lord Narashimha Dev for better health and you come to Surat as early as possible.

Hare Krsna Guru Maharaj, Please accept my most respectful obeisances unto your divine and transcendental lotus feet.

Most beloved gurudev, I am the most insignificant and most fallen yet out of your most merciful and compassionate nature you have given me the oppurtunity to write for you. I am faulty and defected, hence I can never express properly how glorious you are. I am full of faults when it comes to thoughts, words and deeds. Yet like lotus grows in the mud, you have appeared in the material world and you have showered your causeless mercy on me by accepting me as your sheltered disciple.

I offer unto you this poem as an offering for your auspicious appearance day:

You held me through all the pain,Oh! gurudev you are my biggest gain.

I shake, i tremble, i fall down, but you stay as my strength crown.

I am superfallen and not worth it, Yet you are merciful and love me.

You accept me as i am, Though i am an undeserving lamb.

Everybody tells me i am wrong, But you accepted me all along.

People complain, criticize and break my heart, You love, you care and never let me fall apart.

I was sad, depressed and stressed, Then you came and made me blessed.

I am fallen and worthless, you give me causeless mercy nevertheless.

I am told i am bad a hundred times, You told me these are maya's tests in your words divine.

You are preparing me for the final test, You support me without any rest.

Challenges & obstacles throw me away, yet seeing you never give up makes easier my way.

I will always be the most undesired, Yet your blessings will never get me fired.

People will always look at me as the biggest problem, But krishna will accept me in an envelope when he sees you as the emblem.

You are kind and rare like a diamond, You are mine and i am yours forever.

I love you, you are my beloved divine, Our story will last forever and beyond time.

I have waited for you since a very long time, when i fell down in this material hell for my crimes.

My soul here is going through numerous birth, disease, old age & death, You appeared to parcel me back home back to godhead.

You came and you held my hand, Please never leave me at any bend.

I will never be able to serve you properly, Yet hold me tightly out of your causeless mercy.

Oh guru maharaj, Please, hold me tightly eternally out of your causeless mercy.

All glories to your auspicious appearence day!

Gurudev, you have accepted me as your sheltered disciple. I am trying to fulfill the requirements for initiation. I need your causeless mercy and blessings to do the same.

I am associated with Iskcon Punjabi Bagh temple from last 10 years and chanting my 16 rounds daily from last 8 years now. In my quest for spiritual advancement I met His Holiness Jaya Pataka Swami Maharaj ji in 2017 summer, when he visited Iskcon Delhi. 

It was a hot and humid day and one of my office colleagues (a devotee from Punjabi Bagh temple only) informed me that Maharaj has come to Delhi temple. By Krishna's arrangement I reached temple guest house where devotees were waiting in queue to meet Maharaj to take his blessings and ask any questions. Maharaj despite many apparent difficulties seemed to be in bliss and he was blessing each and every devotee and answering their spiritual queries. 

On my turn, I payed my obesciences and asked Maharaj that I am still suffering in my Sadhna sometimes. Maharaj assured me that I should continue my chanting and slowly I will develop love for chanting. He asserted that I should keep faith and patience. It was my first face to face meeting with Maharaj and I felt a unique soul to soul connection. I could see his perseverance in meeting devotees, motivating them and leading from the front in Srila Prabhupada's mission.

Two years went by and Maharaj came to Delhi temple in Jan 2020 for Diksha ceremony. This time I was thinking that may be this is the time when I should take my spiritual journey seriously and get Maharaj's shelter and he very kindly bestwoed his mercy and gave me shelter. 

I thank Maharaj for showing me the way a real desciple should act; always serving his spiritual master by mind, body and words.

I pay my obesciences to Maharaj and happy to be a part of the vyasapuja mahotsav as a sheltered desciple.

Your holiness are one of the most beloved (ankom ja tare) disciple of your Guru Srila Prabhupada. Prabhupada himself confirmed that you are one of the associate of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. You proved your self the name Jayapataka by flying high the victory flag of ISKCON. Devotees are much indebted to you for your service to TOVP, fulfilling the dream of Srila Prabhupada.You are beyond my capacity to glorify. Your Kirtan "Prabhpad nahi to" catched my heart. You are an exemplary in serving the Guru irrespective of your physical condition. You are so merciful to all your disciples in this condtion also by showing unconditional mercy to them. I pray to give you Good health and long life to guide the fallen souls to back to home, back to god head..

Hare Krsna Dear Gurumaharaj!

Please accept my respectful obeisances unto to Your lotus feet.

On this auspicious day of Your Vyasa puja, the whole world has come together to glorify the presence of Your Holiness, on this earth. Even during these trying times of a scary pandemic hovering upon us and despite the restriction on assembling to celebrate this wonderful occasion, ISKCON world-wide has not failed to assemble, virtually, to take the opportunity to commemorate Your appearance.

Year after year, one can truly perceive the magnanimity of Your ubiquitous mercy, by the means of spreading the message of Sri Krsna Caitanya Mahaprabhu in Your daily Caitanya Bhagavata classes, fueling up the enthusiasm of devotees to distribute Srila Prabhupada’s books and giving out instructions on many subjects so that we can practice devotional service properly. These are but a few to enlist.

i got to personally experience the extensive spread of Your benevolence and pure love when we had been to Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura's bhajan kutir. The sanyasi Maharaj welcomed us with much love and sat down with us to sing Gauranga Karuna Koro, at the beautiful temple. Later, after we took darshan of the actual bhajan kutir, Maharaj began to speak of Jayapataka Swami Gurumaharaj. His eyes glittered and smile beamed as Maharaj spoke while standing at the veranda of the kutir. ------

      “Jayapataka Maharaj, my best friend! I love him so much and he loves me so much! He comes with so many devotees during Navadvipa Mandala Parikrama. He gives me a big hug! After all, devotees go, he sits with me and we talk for many hours. I love him very much! “  – Maharaj spoke with eyes overflowing with love for You, Gurumaharaj, while he placed his hand on his chest.

Above is just one of the million examples of how You have touched and showered love upon so many lives. i am extremely grateful and fortunate to be one of those souls, Gurudev. This leads me to quote from Srimad Bhagavatam 6.16.6 , purport ---

Janame janame sabe pita mata paya

Krsna guru nahi mile bhaja hari ei

In transmigration of the soul through different bodies, everyone, in every form of life – be it human, animal, tree or demigod – gets a father and mother. This is not very difficult. The difficulty is to obtain a bona fide spiritual master and Krsna...

Srila Prabhupada has so sublimely expressed the difficulty in achieving the mercy of Krsna and the shelter of a bona fide Guru. This helps me realize how blessed i am to have been accepted by You as your daughter.

Stray dogs owner-less. They have no one to take care of them and nowhere to take shelter. They wander off to where their hunger is satisfied. Often such dogs are put into captivity because they become a menace. Troubled by hunger and disease, they turn out to be harmful to others and themselves too. i, too, used to be a stray dog. Not anymore. Now, i have a collar with the tag – ‘Property of JPS’. But, now, the problem is  that i have the tendency to stray away. Gurumaharaj please kindly pull my leash and keep me under Your curb. i hope to become a loyal servant of Yours.

One of the most valuable aspects of any individual is to be accepted by the ones they love. Acceptance of who one is, where one stands in life, and what makes one who they are. But material nature pushes forth the harsh truth that, it being a hypocrite world, everyone wants to change the individual, mold him according to their wishes and requirements, to suit their tastes and comfort. Thus being forced to mold into so many shapes as others want, the exhausted individual loses his own identity. But there only two personalities in this whole universe who accept one as he is – Sri Krsna and one’s spiritual master. This is very true, because even after seeing how much of a fallen and conditionally shackled soul i am, You have continued to show mercy upon me, Gurudev. Not only did You accept me for the poor, ill-minded person i am , but You also saw the very minute speck of good in me that even i never could realize. This unconditional mercy of Yours has made me want to change myself , to be able to practice devotional service , in better capacity.

Gurumaharaj, it is in Your nature that Your show mercy to whoever comes in contact with You. But I would want to beg forgiveness at Your lotus feet; For the offenses that i have knowingly and unknowingly committed. Unless forgiven and glanced upon compassionately, i will not be able to carry myself forward in Krsna Consciousness.

Hoping to be of better use to You in Your seva to Srila Prabhupada.

Praying vehemently to Sri Narasimhadev for Your health. Offering 108 recitations of Sri Narasimha Kavacha and Sri Narayana Kavacha at the lotus feet of Narasimhadeva for Your protection.

Beseeching for Your Karuna and forgiveness.

Gurudeva! You are embodiment of a true Spiritual warrior, what not you have been through to save Your Disciples from very first day they were introduced to Kṛṣṇa consciousness to the day they are continuining. Guru Mahārāja How can one be Śrīla Prabhupāda multifarious in his actions as you who encompasses nearly impossible tasks of spreading Kṛṣṇa consciousness to every home possible, I just can dream how manyn life you are impacting positively by enfusing love of Gaurasundara into the hearts of hearers. There is so much positive resonance that I see in my life since I started to take your shelter again. There is Lord Caitanya definetly beside You smilingly guiding you always and Nitāi Prabhu manifesting his mercy through you more and more.

Gurudeva! I beg! Please accept me and engage me fully in Your service. I don't see any hope that I can live happily alone, I want your shelter through service to You, Your Godbrothers, Your Disciples, Vaiṣṇava commumity, Māyāpur, Śrīla Prabhupāda and Kṛṣṇa.

Please forgive this degraded soul who is now wanting to rise back and purify himself by being Your servant truely.

Dear Guru Maharaj,

Please accept my respectful obeisance on to your lotus feet ,

Happy 71st Vyasa puja,

I'm aspiring initiation from you Maharaj from long time, many obstacles in my spiritual journey maharaj,

In my home there is no support for me and I'm mentally draining out often please bless me so I can continue my spiritual journey &sadhana strongly.

2 times in my dreams you came & blessed me please continue the same.

1st dream you came & told me to take initiation ASAP in 2017 I guess but due to many obstacles I couldn't and that's been in my head from long time.

2nd dream we both were dancing at mayapur temple, I was so happy to see you recovering completely and dancing with me, this was about may be in 2018.

Your servant,

Hare Krishna dear Guru Maharaj,

Please accept my respectful obeisances, All Glories to Srila Prabhupada and unto your service to your Gurudev!!!

This is your insignificant, fallen soul, representing our family and making a foolish attempt to glorify you ,but for our own purification, so please forgive us for our shortcomings. 

• You are ocean of mercy distributing Nitai Kripa all over the world without any distinctions. This is very much evident as soon as your critical surgery is over, and your great comeback with unimaginable rigor is so inspiring
• You are ghanāghana-tvam, pouring that mercy you are the only hope for conditional souls who are suffering dāvā-anala of material existence
• While you prayed,  (yadi) prabhupada na haita tabe ki haita jivana bahita kise, we are praying that what would have happened to us if nobody is there to give that (Prabhupada's) mercy to us.  (yadi) jayapataka swami na haita tabe ki haita jivana bahita kise
• You are true Acharya.. You sung, nitai-gaurera apara karuna ke dita sakala dese for Prabhupada, but every single day, you are ONLINE, spreading that Gaura-Nitai karuna, sakala dese, all over the world
• Your enthusiasm is so addictive that watching you LIVE gives so much of hope for our devotion. What will happen without that. Your every movement is so sweet, REGAL, so childlike lovable, same time, so adorable. Your ecstatic symptoms are the greatest hope for us to taste the amrta of Krishna Consciousness
• Watching your esteem, while speaking tamil language, especially nandri, its so sweet, its so melting, even being an tamilian, that word made a lot of sense only when you spoke
• Some times its heart pounding to see you suffering and coughing but yet you are there for us, how one should dedicate his for Guru, you even redefined "example" 
• I feel like hugging you, but I am so fallen and dirty can't even think of it, so want to just fall under your feet and beg for your mercy only kṛṣṇa se tomāra, kṛṣṇa dīte pāro,tomāra śakati āche

Dear Gurumaharaj, 

Please accept my respectful obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Wishing you a happy and memorable vyasa puja 2020. It is by your mercy that this fallen conditioned soul has come into this wonderful Krishna conscious association.

I was just 3 years old when you brought me into this blissful association. But I took advantage of that and wasted time just playing around. Recently i had taken things little seriously and immediately you reciprocated enormously. Last year when you had come to Bangalore at the palace grounds, we could not meet you personally due to your health issues. I was a bit disappointed for that. It had been almost a year but it felt like a lot. But you didn't leave us. During the initiation and sheltering ceremony, you said that anyone who was chanting 16 rounds and following the 4 regulative principles for a year could get sheltered. This was like a precious chance and the I got sheltered. Right now, I am continuing my services in bangalore.

I am ever grateful to you for being the light of my life and my saviour. I hope that I will be able to see you soon. Happy Vyasa Puja!!!

Your humble and insignificant servant,

Kaushikh

All glories to you Srila Gurudev!!!            GuruMaharaj every incident of your life is an inspiration and driving force for a disciple. Personally I'm inspired a lot by your mood in pleasing Srila Prabhupada at all your services, your dedication in executing it, for which you keep going your life. Despite your health status you travelled different countries few months past for various programs and never miss to give your association in Facebook too. Please shower a drop of your mercy to walk your path in pleasing you at all the tiny services that I do. Knowing more about your glories from the other vaishnavas gives me a lot of inspiration and encouragement in keeping my spirits high in practicing the devotional process. All glories, All glories, All glories unto you Srila Gurudev !!!                                        GuruMaharaj I conduct children's class at my residence in Kaggadaspura, Bangalore.

My dear Guru Maharaja,

Hare Krishna !

A million humble dandavat pranaamams to the dust your lotus feet.  Please accept them, out of your own sheer causeless mercy.  All glories to Sri Guru and Sri Gauranga.  All glories to Srila Prabhupada.  All glories to your Holiness. All glories to all the Vaishnavas.

Gurudeva, this is your insignificant servant, attempting to offer this homage letter and my deep gratitude to your Holiness on your auspicious 71st Vyasa puja. I humbly request you to accept it out of your sheer causeless mercy alone.

Your holy self, being a sincere disciple of Srila Prabhupada, have been serving his mission and ISKCON untiringly for many decades with tremendous enthusiasm and joy, without displaying even an iota of tiredness in your spiritual journey. That gives me more encouragement to serve you in my little insignificant way and earnestly trying to do so.

I feel very happy to know that you have achieved a major milestone of blessing 50,000 disciples at your lotus feet recently in Bangladesh yatra. My humble hearty congratulations to you Guru Maharaja! I feel very much blessed that I’m one among those 50,000 disciples whom you mercifully accepted and blessed with harinaam deeksha. I’m ever grateful to you and wish to serve you for eternity and beyond as your servant of servant of servants.

Gurudeva, knowing well about my helpless inabilities, I humbly and sincerely beg at your lotus feet to please, please, please bless me to serve you in the way it pleases you the most. Without your merciful glance upon this THE MOST FALLEN conditioned soul, I don't have any strength to perform any service to your lotus feet and to our dear Radharani and Krishna and all the Guru Paramapara. Just like a honeybee finds a cool shelter in the lotus flower, I feel safe to be under your lotus feet shelter, Guru maharaj!

Guru Maharaja, as it is said that Vaishnavas are generally very merciful always, and on their divine appearance day, they are even more merciful than ever, to the fallen souls – like myself.  Keeping this truth in view, on this auspicious occasion of your Vyasa Puja, I humbly fall at your lotus feet and earnestly beg and beg and beg at your lotus feet, dear Gurudev, please forgive your this pathitha sevaka for all the offences committed -- knowingly and unknowingly --  toward your holy self and toward any other devotees and disciples.

Gurudeva, I heard in one lecture that the greatest gift that we can ever offer to anyone is to sincerely pray to Krishna for them. Although I do not at all have any qualification whatsoever, keeping this truth in mind, Gurudeva, on this auspicious occasion, from the very depths of my heart, I earnestly pray to our beloved Radha and Krishna, Srila Prabhupada and all the Guru Parampara to please give you Their merciful blessings in your mission to please Srila Prabhupad and Krishna. This is what your this poor, helpless, unworthy and unfit servant can do for you, dear Guru Maharaja.  Out of your own sheer causeless mercy alone, please accept my this insignificant service as a small token of my love for you.

Please bless me that my love for you becomes really pure, unconditional, uninterrupted  and limitless,  and it  keeps on  ever-increasing, and my Guru-nishta and my commitment to your mission keeps on deepening, and  I render -- most lovingly and  most unconditionally --  pure, loving, unconditional, uninterrupted, limitless, unflinching and unmotivated  devotional service to your holy self, all the Guru Parampara, all the Vaishnavas, and  our beloved Radha and  Krishna, in the way it pleases them the most -- eternally and even beyond.  Your merciful blessings alone can take me in that direction – Guru Maharaja!

With my heartfelt deep gratitude and millions of humble obeisances at your lotus feet,

Aspiring to be the servant of the servant of the servant of  your holy self,

Kesi Damana Krsna dasa.

Dear Gurudeva, I am your most unqualified son Kotisasi Gauran Das. 
Please accept my most humble and respectful humble obeiscences unto your divine lotus feet.
I are very fortunate that you are my spiritual father. You have dedicated your every breath in service of Srila Prabhupada and have setting an example for othets. Just by observing your activities at present, one can understand that you are perfectly situated in transcendental consciousness and are an example for others to understand that one is not his body. Despite your external circumstances, you are rendering uninterrupted and unmotivated devotional service by your travelling and preaching around the world and distributing the mercy of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.
I am giving my best for Bhakti Sastri course which is happening in Bhakti center. Also trying to understand the mood and preaching mission of Srila Prabhupada by going through the Bhakti sastri syllabus. But with my little intelligence I am always fail to understand the purports of Srila Prabhupada and other acharyas commentaries. Finally I completely depend on your causeless Mercy, which is the only hope to understand great acharyas. Also due to my lack of sincerity and purity I failed to understand them. Please bless me that I may rise above my anarthas and engage sincerely in the service of Mahaprabhu.
Please Please bless me to fulfill your instructions and expectations in the service to Your Divine Grace, Śrīla Prabhupāda and the previous ācāryas

Please accept my humble Obeisances.

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada, All Glories to Gauranga Mahaprabhu.

I came to know more about you only after you visited Bangalore last year. Your devotees are always so inspiring, encouraging and always enthusiastic to serve Guru and Gauranga. I understood that they get it from You only after hearing about You.

You were one of the most trusted servants of Srila Prabhupada. You have been the pillar and guardian of Srila Prabhupada’s house even after Prabhupada left this world. You have stayed true to your words to your Spiritual Master even during so many difficult and turbulent times. Please bless me with some of that commitment so that I stay true to my commitments to Prabhupada and Devotees.

It is very difficult to imagine ISKCON without Your Holiness. Thank You Very much for protecting it and giving us such a valuable gift.

Your Servant,

All glories to Your Divine Grace

By the mercy of Lord Caitanya, Srila Prabhupada and the vaishnavas i came to follow Krishna Consciousness. However, many a times i used to feel, if we follow all the steps in Krishna consciousness, its easy in any condition to progress spiritually. As days are progressing, i am realising its not true. Its' simply the causeless mercy of Sri Guru, that one is able to follow the instructions/path in Krishna Consciousness. And the more i see your dedication in the service of Srila Prabhupada inspite of your physical condition, it just amazes me how much Srila Prabhupada has empowered you. I am fully confident your followers will achieve the ultimate success of achieving the Lotus feet of Lord Caitanya as Srila Prabhupada mentions in his books.

Srila Prabhupada many times said, he came to this world only to give us Krishna consciousness and the Bhaktivedanta purports and accepted so many difficulties personally. When i see your physical condition, i just get to realise, you appeared here only to deliver sinful souls like me. Although it is way beyond words for me to describe the difficulties you endure, you appear blissful and engage all the devotees in Krishna's service and guide the devotees on how to live in Krishna Consciousness always.

You have given me wonderful and stalwart godbrothers and sisters, who not only speak, but also execute very big tasks in the service of Lord Caitanya and Srila Prabhupada. On this auspicious day, I pray to your divine grace to bless me to continue devotional service to the Supreme Lord and also increase my commitment to help your mission.

On this auspicious day of Sri Vyasapuja, I pray to Sri Sri Radha Madhava, Sri Panca Tattva and Lord Narasimha dev and the guru parampara to give you a long life to stay with us and deliver this world.

My Dear Gurudev,

            Please accept my prostrated obeisances on to your lotus feet.

On this auspicious day I would like to express my deepest gratitude to you.

On 29^th September 2019 I was initiated by you in Bangalore, I have no words to express my happiness & joy that I felt on that day. So close to you, taking the japa mala from you is the best experience that I have ever felt in this life. I have heard that when a Guru initiates his disciple, he takes away all the karma. On the very next day I got fever & was diagnosed with appendicitis and underwent the surgery. May be something bigger was there in my life, but because of your mercy I could fight this small battle.

With your mercy I am in association of such great devotees, under the guidance of HG Caitanya Avatari prabhu & HG Vaishanavanad Nitai prabhu. I feel blessed that I stay in the temple & have their guidance & support at every step. I am indebted to you and all the devotees to help me. Now with your mercy and devotees guidance I am trying to preach youths in around our center.

I pray that I be fixed, be Krsna Conscious and serve you & all the vaishnavas eternally.

Hi am kumarswamy and am practicing Krishna conscious since 5 years  I am not capable to say about Guru Maharaj but I share my opinion the more we listen about guru Maharaj pastimes in the association of devotees the More attentiveness am getting like how he's so mercy full to his disciples, how dedicatedly following the instructions of his guru and mission  of srila Prabhupada even though physically not active,how the Mercy is flowing in Bangalore and giving initiation to more than 50000 disciples in Bangalore,and also how he negotiate with krishna  to stay in this material world to help his disciples, there are somany past times are but am sharing few of them.

Dear Gurumaharaj,

Please accept my respectful obeisances

All glories to Srila Prabhupad,

All glories to you Gurudev.

Gurudev , you are a ocean of mercy, you are compassionate. You always want to preach

everyone and give them shelter . You have belief in all the souls you come in

contact and by your mercy, they take up Krishna consciousness very easily. Iam just

one of the fortunate souls.

      Chanting everyday, doing Aarthis, reading Srila Prabhupad books , reading Gita

daily has helped me to face the difficulties of life easily. Preaching the

same to people has reaffirmed my faith in you, Gurudev and Krishna.

       I need to improve my quality of chanting and spend more time on Krishna

conscious activities. Please bless me Gurudev, so that I can serve you, (

Guru), Gauranga and devotees nicely.

    Thank you Gurudev for accepting me and guiding me.

I express my heartfelt gratitude to you for  having  shown your  causeless mercy to this fallen  soul by lifting me from the  slumber.  Having wasted more than 60 years of  my life, whatever little devotional service I am  doing now is because of your  causeless mercy for which I will be  ever grateful to you.   I don't know how many more years left for me in this lifetime.  

On this auspicious occasion I pray for your mercy to progress  rapidly in Krishna Consciousness  and I have fervent faith that you will show me the right path to attain the  goal in this lifetime  itself.

Dear Srila Gurudeva,

Please accept my most respectful obeisances at the dust of your divine lotus feet, which are the only shelter for countless fallen souls including myself. Thank you so much for accepting this unworthy living being as your disciple and showering your causeless mercy.

Since the time I took Harinam initiation from Your Divine Grace on the auspicious Vasanta Panchami day last year (10 February 2019), my devotional life has been continually improving by your mercy. By your mercy, I am engaging in steady devotional practices and also able to participate in Bhakti Vrksa and Bhakti Sadan programs and services therein, under the care of my parents, Vidura Madhava Prabhu and Keshavi Madhavi mataji. By your mercy I recently graduated with 4th rank from Vishveshwaraiah Technological University, Karnataka with a Bachelors degree in Architecture and I want to dedicate it to your lotus feet. By your mercy, I am now rendering architectural design services for the ongoing temple constructions here and I seek your blessings for the same. 

On this auspicious appearance day, I pray to you to forever remain under your shelter in gratitude, upholding my vows and following in your footsteps sincerely. I also pray to have the constant cushion of pure devotee association by which I shall remain within the fold of devotional service under all circumstances. I pray to be careful to avoid offending devotees knowingly or unknowingly and to be able to serve the Lord and his devotees.

On this auspicious appearance day, I want to re-dedicate myself to you and hope that I shall always serve to please you. I beg the Lords Nitai - Gaura and to Srila Prabhupada to protect your health.

Your aspiring servant,

Hare Krishna gurumaharaj,

I am very happy to see you today via online. Gurumaharaj have told me to continue my services on cooking and therefore I am currently servicing SJMKL food for life team, the general kitchen and as well as deity kitchen alternatively every Sunday. 

Currently, I have brought my whole family into iskcon and two of my daughters are initiated under Gurumaharaj as well. One of my daughters that was initiated by Gurumaharaj is currently married and have 2 boys. They are born devotee and their names are Aryan Kshetra and Gaurasyamasundar. 

My daughter, Sita Sarveswari Devi Dasi who is married and moved to Penang is currently doing her services at Bakti Mandir at Bukit Mertajam, Penang. She does service to the lord and devotees in cooking and by teaching at Penang gurukul every Sunday. My son, Surintan  who is currently working in Singapore also always attend the program at Singapore center. Recently, he designed the banner and booklet for Navadip parikaram for the past 3 years. 

My another daughter Divya Vrindavan Devi dasi is currently a doctor and my last daughter, Shemasaunthari is currently an auditor. All my four children are following Krishna consciousness very seriously in their material life.

Gurumaharaj, once when I saw Gurumaharaj to take initiation but Gurumaharaj told me to take it together with my prabhu. Currently my prabhu has not taken initiation yet but he is doing very good seva at temple and his chanting everyday. He also always read the bhagavad Gita and all our books to gain more knowledge. My prabhu also is very active in book distribution. 

I humbly would like to beg Gurumaharaj blessings unto all my family members so they will be able to continue and speared this movement throughout their life.

Dear Gurudeva,

I beg you to accept my most respectful prostrated obeisances at your lotus feet.

Srila Gurudeva, on the occasion of your 71st Vyasa puja, I pray to Sri Sri Radha Madhava, Gaura Nitai, and Narasimha Deva to protect you and bless you with good health.

With your blessings and mercy, my husband and I have had the opportunity of staying in Mayapur since Oct 2019 to pursue our sastric study.  We recently completed the Bhakti Sastri course and had the good fortune of getting the Degree certificates from you.  We have also been doing a few other courses so that we can return to our yatra and make some contributions to teach the Bhakti Sastri course.  We seek your blessings for this. 

jogyata-vicare, kichu nahi pai,

tomara karuna—sara

karuna na hoile, kandiya kandiya,

This year, with your blessings, we also got the opportunity to join the Nabadvip Parikrama with the South Indian Group.  I was a little skeptical if I would be able to walk such long distances, but it was a wonderful experience.  I am particularly grateful for the opportunity to join in the sankirtan of the Holy Name all the way and to hear Mahaprabhu's lilas and the significance of each place that we visited during the parikrama.  During the Bhakti Sastri course also we were able to participate in some short parikramas which were all very enlightening and gave me the opportunity to appreciate Mahaprabhu's Holy Dham and the glory of the acaryas.

I am ever grateful to you for giving us the association of your disciples like Caitanya Avatari Prabhu, Rasamayi Mataji, Vaisnavananda Nitai Prabhu and all the devotees in our New Rajapur Jaganatha Dham, who are helping us and engaging us in your services.

Guru Maharaja,  I want to once again convey my sincere gratitude to you for accepting my husband, Visveswara Govinda Das, and myself as your disciples and giving us the shelter of your lotus feet.  Please bless us that we may be steady in our devotional life and continue to be engaged in services to you and the Lord, in the association of devotees.

On the occasion of Your Divine Grace’s Vyasa Puja celebration, I reconfirm my surrender and dedication to serve your lotus feet and pray for your causeless mercy and beg forgiveness for all my offenses.

I am very thankful to you for bringing me into this wonderful Krishna conscious movement. You are a living inspiration on how to serve Guru and Gauranga. I am very fortunate to get this opportunity to Glorify your wonderful qualities on the most auspicious day of your 71st Vyasa Puja.
In spite of your health challenges you have been travelling around the world and preaching Krishna Consciousness to all the fallen souls. You have been rescuing us from this ignorance. I have heard that you don’t even waste a single moment and try to utilize that time in preaching Krishna Consciousness. You have always been in the mood of serving the devotees and take personal care of them.
Gurudev you are always focused on how to preach and fulfill Srila Prabhupada’s instruction. Days passing by, you are accomplishing all the instructions given to you by Srila Prabhupada. You are setting a great example on how to follow the instruction of a spiritual master.
My sincere prayer to Sri Sri Radha Madhava, Sri Pancatattava and Narasimha Dev to shower their blessings unto you for Good Health.
Gurudev please forgive me for the offense that I have committed knowingly or unknowingly. Please bless me that I always be engaged in devotional service and assist you in fulfilling Srila Prabhupada’s instructions.
Once again, I offer my humble, respectful obeisance to you Gurudev.

Dear Guru Maharaj,

Please accept my respected obeisances unto thy lotus feet.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I am a toddler in this devotional path struggling to find my balance.  While I tread this path I am constantly making mistakes, some which I am aware of and maybe many which I don't even realize. I ask your forgiveness for all of them. Though I intend to constantly improve I am not that successful. Please help me overcome them with your mercy. 

I heard a lot about you from my seniors, but the most overwhelming was when I heard you live. something touched me, I found myself in tears, and I could now relate with all those who were glorifying you. I realize you are not ordinary. Its soothing, motivating, calming to hear you. 

It is amazing how you remember all your disciples, how you reach out to them. you are most sought after spiritual master being easily approachable. You acknowledge their efforts and constantly care for them.

the zeal with which you work is mindblowing thereby becoming a great inspiration to all of us. being constantly on the move despite the health issues is beyond imagination. Guru Maharaj, you are unstoppable and contagious as well as you pass that mood to whoever comes across you.

yet, the obstacles (which I consider as obstacles) though trivial seem too big to me. With this realization I intend to put in more effort and work my way but still, I beg for your mercy to overcome them. Please be with me at every step guiding me, showing me the right way even if I don't ask for it as I am so ignorant that I might not know when to approach you.

Thank you so much, Guru Maharaj, for accepting me as your disciple.  I hope I succeed in becoming a worthy disciple and make you proud someday.

My Dear Gurudev,

            Please accept my respectful obeisances on to your lotus feet.

Gurumaharaj, in your auspicious appearance day, I find no words with which I can glorify you. From the core of my heart, I will say, that you have changed not only my life by initiating me but also initiating my entire family consisting of my wife (Anukampita Radha Devi Dasi), daughter (Jotirmayi Kaushalya Devi Dasi) & lastly my son (Krsnarupa Gaura Das). Gurudev, on 29^th of September 2019, when my son was initiated in Bangalore, I started crying & thought that in my previous life what I had done that all of us got your mercy. When I put a word of thanks to our Shikha Guru (HG Caitanya Avatari Das), he indicated you saying it is all because of your mercy only. Many senior devotees say, “Yours is a successful family!”, but “where from the success come !?”, it is only by your causeless mercy. In an open forum, I will say that you not only changed my family but also life of my close & distant relatives as well. I will be ever indebted for your causeless mercy on me, my family & all my relatives.

            Gurudev, we are conducting some bhakti vriksha classes and started a new reading class in my house, we pray for your blessings, so that we can bring more & more souls under your shelter.

(তবু) তোমার স্মরণে নাই সময়, মনের নাই তো লাগাম
কেবলই ইতি উতি ধায়।
পশুসম আচরণে নিজেই তো বিব্রত,
অথচ তাহা থেকে মুক্তির নাই চিন্তা।
দেহ জড়, সুখ জড়, জানি তো সবই-
তবুও কি একবারও ভাবি তা?
বৈষ্ণব অপরাধে জর্জরিত আমি,
ভক্তির লেশ মাত্র নাই,
তোমার চরণে আশ্রয় নিয়ে
তোমাকেই ক্লেশ দিয়ে যাই।
আর তো নাই সময়, এখনও যদি না শুধরাই
এভব সংসার পাকে, আরও আমি যাবো ডুবে
এইবেলা তোমাকেই বলি তাই-
ওহে গুরুদেব তুমি অন্তর্যামী!
কৃপা করে আমারে ক্ষম তুমি স্বামী
দয়াকরে তর নরাধমে
কৃষ্ণনামে  যেন আসে মোর রতি
তোমার চরণে যেন সদা থাকে মতি,
বৈষ্ণব জনা যেন সেবিবারে পাই।

গুরুদেব!
তোমার মহিমা                            নাহি তার সীমা
                      কি আর বলিব আমি।
 হরিনাম প্রচারে।                         সদা অগ্রগামী
                      তুমি জয়পতাকা স্বামী।।
দেশে-মহাদেশে                         পুরবে- পশ্চিমে
                       করেছ কৃপাবিতরন।          
ক্লান্তি-ক্লেশ ভুলে                        সকলের মঙ্গলে

পাশ্চাত্যে যখন                     করিলে অবতরণ
                        গলাতে মারিল কোপ।
কি ভীষণ যন্ত্রনা                     ভাবতেও পারিনা
                       বয়ে যায় রক্তের স্রোত।।    
তবুও না থেমে                       মজেছ কৃষ্ণ প্রেমে
                           গেয়েছ হরিগান।
প্রভুপাদ বাণী                               প্রচার করিতে

ওঁ অজ্ঞান তিমিরান্ধস্য জ্ঞানাঞ্জনশলাকয়া।
চক্ষুরুন্মীলিতং যেন তস্মৈ শ্রী গুরবে নমঃ॥

আধ্যাত্মিক গুরুদেব বা পারমার্থিক পিতা কেবল পালন করার মতো এমন কিছু বস্তু বা কয়েক দিনের জন্য প্রচলিত কিছু বা ইচ্ছামত পরিত্যাজ্য এই রকম কিন্তু কোন কিছু নয়। গুরুদেব যিনি আমাদের হৃদয়ের মধ্যে শ্রেষ্ঠ আসনে থাকা ‘আত্মা’ নামক অদৃশ্য বস্তুটিকে সঠিকভাবে সঠিক স্থানে সঠিক ধামে পৌঁছে দেওয়ার জন্য সর্বদা সচেষ্ট আছেন।গুরুদেব আমাদের কাছে কৃষ্ণরূপে এসে আমাদের পরম পিতার নিকট ফিরিয়ে দেওয়ার জন্য নির্দেশ দিয়েই চলেছেন। সকলের কাছেই এটি গুরুত্বপূর্ণ উদ্দেশ্য।

প্রকৃত জ্ঞানের অভ্যন্তরে জ্যোতি থাকে। সেই জ্যোতির দ্বারাই অজ্ঞানতা দূরীভূত হয়। জ্ঞানই প্রকৃত জ্ঞানের যথার্থ অর্থ প্রকাশ করে। আমাদেরকে ত্রুটিমুক্ত রাখে এই জ্ঞান। আমরা কখনই গবেষণামূলক জ্ঞান আকাঙ্খা করি না। আমরা সর্বদাই অবরোহী পদ্ধতিতে গুরু-পরম্পরার ধারায় শিষ্যত্ব গ্রহণের মাধ্যমে সঠিক এবং ত্রুটিমুক্ত জ্ঞানের লক্ষ্যে আসীন রয়েছি। কারণ আমাদের সঠিক অনুভূতি রয়েছে। পারমার্থিক গুরুদেবের অনন্য অবস্থান বিবেচনা ক’রে তাঁকে বিবেচনা করা উচিত কিভাবে তাঁর সান্নিধ্যে যাওয়া সমীচীন।

শ্রীমদ্ভগবদ্গীতায় সুস্পষ্টভাবে বর্ণিত রয়েছে-

“ তদ্‌বিদ্ধি প্রণিপাতেন পরিপ্রশ্নেন সেবয়া—উপদেক্ষ্যন্তি তে জ্ঞানং জ্ঞানিনস্তত্ত্ব দর্শিনঃ”—  সদ্‌গুরুর স্মরণাগত হয়ে তত্ত্বজ্ঞান লাভ করার চেষ্টা করতে হবে। বিনম্র চিত্তে প্রশ্ন জিজ্ঞাসা করে অকৃত্রিম সেবার দ্বারা তাঁকে সন্তুষ্ট করতে হবে। তাহলেই সেই তত্ত্বদ্রষ্টা ব্যক্তিত্ববর্গ আমাদেরকে পারমার্থিক দিব্যজ্ঞান বা দিব্য উপদেশ প্রদান করবেন।  

দাবিযুক্তভাবে বা দর্পযুক্ত দাম্ভিকতাপূর্ণ মনোভাবের মাধ্যমে কেউই  পারমার্থিক পিতার থেকে আলোকায়ন পেতে পারে না। ক্ষণস্থায়ী জাগতিক লাভ ক্ষতির বিবেচনা না করে আত্মসমর্পনের অর্থ সম্পূর্ণভাবে আত্মনিবেদন।  

এই পবিত্র ব্যাস পূজার শুভদিনে আসুন আমরা সকলে আমাদের গুরুদেবের চরণকমলে প্রণিপাত জানাই এবং তাঁর নাম এবং নির্দেশনামাগুলির গুণকীর্তন করি।

please accept my respectful obeisances at your lotus feet

All Glories To Srila Prabhupada

All Glories To You

Today is the most auspicious day of your appearance.Iam so fortunate and blessed to have you as my Guru.

Gurudeva Iam able to associate through your Guru prasanga magazine.I feel very happy to read your nectarian lectures from the Guru prasanga magazine.

Gurudeva when I meet  disciples of other Maharaj and they ask me who my Guru maharaj is and when I tell them my Guru maharaj is “HH JAYAPATAKA SWAMI” Gurumaharaj . They become so happy.

Gurumaharaj you are so great inspire of so many health challenges you are so enthusiastic in spreading Krishna conscious mission. I pray to Lord Narasimha Deva to protect your health

Gurumaharaj please bestow your mercy upon me so that I can help you in spreading Krishna conscious.

your most fallen and insignificant daughter

Madhureswari Radha Devi dasi

On ajnana timirandhyas ca jananjana salakhaya, caksur unmilitam yena, tasmai sri gurave namah!

Dearest Gurumaharaj, 

Please accept my respectful obeisance!

All glories to Srila Prabhupad!

I take this opportunity to offer my heartfelt gratitude unto my glorious spiritual master, who is an embodiment of compassion, mercy, love, devotion and dedication. 

I always cherish my good fortune of coming in touch with Srila Prabhupads books, reading which i became conscious of Lord Krishna and understood my own constitutional position of being an eternal servant of Lord Krishna.

Your words are so true Gurudev, in the song written by Your Divine Self, 'Yadi Prabhupad na hoite, tabe ki hoite'.what would have happened to us? If it was not for Srila Prabhupad, how would we ever get shelter of your Lotus feet? How would we ever understand Devotional service?

All glories to Srila Prabhupad!

All glories unto You,Srila Gurudev!

How will I ever be able to repay you the debt of the good fortune and the unlimited mercy you have bestowed upon me? I think the only way I can repay, is by keeping my own sadhana strong and making as many people Krishna conscious as possible. 

You are a glorious disciple of Srila Prabhupad and your dedicated life of selfless service is an inspiration for every living being on this planet.

On this very auspicious occasion of your appearance day,  I pray to you that may I develop attachment to your lotus feet, to chanting of the Holy name and to service of Vaisnavas. All that I am today, is your causeless mercy and all that I want, is your Causeless mercy!

Your heart is as wide and deep, as an ocean, and I feel fortunate that you have given me space in your heart, and have kindly engaged me in the service of Sri Sri Nitai Gauranga! I feel so safe, secure and fearless. 

Thank you very much Gurumaharaj!

I beg for forgiveness for so many offences I must have committed. And I aspire for just one drop of the nectar of love of Lord Gauranga that you hold so dear in your heart.

Seeking the dust of your lotus feet, I remain,

Your insignificant servant ,

Madhuri Mamatamayi DD 

Hare Krishna, dear Gurumaharaja.

nama oà viñëu-pädäya kåñëa-preñöhäya bhü-tale
çrémate jayapataka-svämin iti nämine
namo acarya pada Nitai krpa padayine
Gaura katha dhamo daya nagaro grama tarine

Several years back you had send to us, your disciples, your Christmas wish.

When I was a child, on Christmas Eve, we would go out and when we came back, Santa Claus would have visited and there would be gifts under the Christmas tree. Now if I have to say what I want for Christmas Day gifts, I want that my disciple and all the devotees develop their taste for chanting the holy name and their extreme laulyam for serving Lord Caitanya, Lord Krsna and entering into Their eternal pastimes. Prabhupada had repeatedly reminded us that we are not the body. We are eternal soul, part and parcel of Lord Krsna and our nature is to serve Krsna eternally. Lord Caitanya and Lord Nityananda are the most merciful and They want to give us Krsna prema but we should carefully avoid the aspects of Kali like extramarital sex, meat, fish and egg eating, intoxication and gambling. In this way, we should absorb ourselves in chanting, in hearing, and serving in Krsna Consciousness. Hare Krsna.

Your well wisher always,
Jayapataka Svami.

Gurumaharaja, since then I want to present this gift to you, although it may take the whole lifetime to complete it.

Serve and enter the eternal Gaura’s and Krsna’s pastimes.

I am hearing and hearing in order to fill my mind with these transcendental lilas, but the real smaranam will come by the grace.

Nevertheless I am not giving up. Maybe one day after a great attempt of mine my spiritual guardians and well-wishers will bless me with ability to live in and serve these most attractive lilas.

Thus as a result of my desire and deliberate contemplation the poem has taken birth. I offer it to you, Guru Maharaja.

Daily Pastimes of Lord Gauranga

The world knows only that can be seen by the eyes
Even Brahma and Siva in their realm are enticed
But they long to witness that has never been born before
Lord Gauranga’s prema sankirtana, He broke the bolted door

Pure-hearted  devotees at Mahaprabhu’s feet
Indulge in the sakirtana as soon as they meet
They dive deep and go high to pluck that fruit
When they eat it they can hear Sri Syama’s flute

It is free for everyone - each and every soul
One can start from nothing and gain the ultimate goal
Take Mahaprabhu in your heart and seat Him there
Such a merciful Lord you won’t find anywhere

Fill your mind with the thoughts of His lilas and sports
You will forget the past and the rest of that sort
The most virtuous saints live this manasic way
I offer my full respect to them and all that they ever say

Just before sunrise Lord gets up from His bed,
Stretches His body, so charming from His toes to the head
Then He shares few words with beautiful Visnupriya, his wife
He washes His face and begins His eight-parted daily life

In the morning His figure, exquisite and very tall
Always so loved and never-endingly adored by all
Gets massaged with the oil and bathed in the Ganges
Then for worship of Vishnu He indeed arranges

Before the noon attains its respectable post
Lord enjoys delightful Krishna Katha the most
He goes to everybody’s house eager for these topics
He will visit all the devotees; no one can ever stop it

His followers gather around Him, eager like honeybees
On the banks of Ganges, they wander amongst the trees
The beautiful gardens full of flowers and birds.
Loud midday sankirtana - everyone’s ear must have heard

Afternoon hours are blessed by the Lord as well
Through the streets of Navadvipa play mridangas and bells
The people of town immerse in the sankirtana sounds
Forgetting their homes they fearlessly dance around

To the house of Mother Saci Gauranga returns at dusk
To worship Vishnu, with devotion – not one thing to ask
May these pastimes pervade my mind and existence
May I be able to serve them without a resistance

Later in the evening the absolute Lord, satisfied on His own
Enters the courtyard of Srivas – the most fortunate soul
Together with intimate friends He dances and sings Holy Name
No one else can enter into this pure and unalloyed game

Never born Lord Gauranga comes home much later at night
To lay down in the bed next to His Sat Cit Ananda wife
May Lord Caitanya, the most magnificent of all
Protect all His souls, because we are ever so small

Please always keep me at your lotus feet, your eternal servant

Mādhurya Gaurāṅgī devī dāsī

My most dear respectful Spiritual Father,

Śrīla Jayapatākā Swami Guru Mahārāja!

Please accept my prostrated obeisances at the dust of Your Divine lotus feet on the occasion of your 71st Vyāsa-pūjā. All glories to Your Divine Grace. 

It is said that the disciple should remember the mercy of his spiritual master every moment of his life. If not every moment atlist 3 time in a day. Though I am not upto the mark as a disciple but still I will take this opportunity of your Vyāsa-pūjā to remember your transcendental qualities and glorify You for my spiritual advancement.

Guru Mahārāja Your Qualities and glories are very very vast and unlimited. I can't explain it. From the beginning of your spiritual life Śrīla Prabhupāda has given you big big imprortant service and you have exiquted all those services very sincerely and successfully. Your have done unlimited service to Śrīla Prabhupāda like - distributing huge quantities of books, developing Navadvīpa Māyāpur dhāma, developing Namahatta - Bhakti-vṛkṣa, accepting 50,000 disciples, building TOVP, unlimitedly Traveling and preaching all over the world, developing Navadvīpa Maṇḍala Parikrama, taking care of management of huge zone as GBC etc. These shows how much you have won the trust of Śrīla Prabhupāda and how much he has empowered you. All these are very great example of your love and dedication to your spiritual master and his mission.

One quality really inspire me very much that you are completely fearless and fixed up to fullfill the disire of Śrīla Prabhupāda and privious ācārya's in all sercumstances. Even though there are many challenges, calamities one after another.it is not one year or 2 year. But year after years from the beginning 1970, when you came to Māyāpur dhāma it was only paddy field. Then learning Bengali language, traveling remote villages and preaching, cullecting funds to mentain temple, cultivating land and selling vegetable, working in the shop after being a grand son of millionaire, traveling tirelessly one continent to another continent, being physically attacked, getting removed from the precident posts in Kolkata 11 times, Brain Hemarage and becoming half paralysed and finally Liver and Kindly transplant. In all these extreme difficulties you never become disturbed and gave up a single service nor you are performing them with lots of tentions and dissatisfaction. Rather you are so blessfull and greatfull. This proves how much you are spiritualy advance and fixed up in transendetal platform.

When I got opportunity to do your personal service, I saw you are 100% engaged in Kṛṣṇa's service and always active to completel the project of Prabhupāda and privious acarya's. You are busy to attend different meetings, solving the problem of devotees. Even when you are in toilet either you are chanting or answering the questions of disciples in mail.at night devotees read Srimad-Bhagavatam to you or you are dreaming about Prabhupāda, Caitanya Mahaprabhu. I was completely shocked. How a person phisically challenged but 100% busy without any complain. It was giving me deep lesson in my life that how we should serve spiritual master.

Above all even though you are menifesting such an exsolted devotional quality, you are so simple, so humble, so loving and accommodative. No tinch of pride. In your all lecture you speaks the same thing,the sicret of success in spiritual life is to satisfy the spiritual master and privious ācārya's.Guru Mahārāja it is very difficult to understand you with material intellectual mind set. I am not able to understand you. Rencently you came to Bīrnagar to perchese the land to make some memorial and library for Bhakti Vinoda Ṭhākura. And you are fully active in that with a team of disciples. I saw this year there are many new place for Night stay in ISKCON's name in Navadvīpa Maṇḍala Parikrama. This year you have completed your 50,000 disciples. As soon as 1 year of doctors restrictions is completed you went abroad for long time for preaching. Such a short  time so many things you are achieving. You are not at all attached to any place, post or comfortable facilities, not even to your disciples. You are fully attached to service to your Guru and taking all difficultiesand to fullfill the disire of Śrīla Prabhupāda and privious acharya's. Nothing can stop you. This transendetal quality wch you are showing by your life is very very important and Inspiring to all of us .today is your 71st Appearance day and 50th year of sannyāsa I beg your causeless mercy so that I can practice this quality atleast some extent to please you, though I am unqualified. 

Guru Mahārāja you are reminding us the qualities of Rantideva, Haridāsa Ṭhākura. They have volunteeryly accepted all suffering to make others happy and delivered. Though your body is not fit to stay, your Godbrothers are calling you and you have also done sufficient service, still you have choose to stay in this world to train many neophyte disciples like me and deligate the ligacy of Śrīla Prabhupāda service and bring maximum saul to the spiritual world. His Grace Jananivāsa Prabhu was saying "I never saw you not doing service even for a second. Even after your health crisis you never stoped your sevā. This is Vaiṣṇava, who does not live for himself". In the most auspicious day of your Vyāsa-pūjā I beg that, Guru Mahārāja I don't want to increase your suffering, rather please bless me so that I can reduce some of your lodge by coming out from māyā and lazy zone and doing responsible service for your mission.

Guru Mahārāja you are fully surrender to Kṛṣṇa. In all these life threatening incident you are teaching us how to surrender to Kṛṣṇa. Mārobi rakobi nitya dāso prati tuā adhikāra.

And you are completely fearless.

When you were weating for new kindly, liver and seems that it will be not available. Every alternative day you has to go for dialysis. That time we saw you are taking report of preaching from different senior devotees, depts, temples and you asked us to pray and chant extra rounds. I was surprised to see that not only you are fearless but your mind is mixed in the service. Actually you don't need any of our prayers. We are practicing because of your prayers. But you are using this incident to increase our devotional service and our love for you.

Guru Mahārāja you are Rare Jewel Vaiṣṇava.I am very very fortunate to have you as my spiritual father and get your association. I pray to Kṛṣṇa so that I can take advantage of Your Divine association.

In this auspicious day I remember how you have offered your mercy to this unqualified saul also. When I was brand new just joined in ISKCON Māyāpur. I was not able choose my spiritual master and praying to Gaura Nitāi while dancing with many devotees. That time all of sudden you came and embresed me and encouraged me. As if you are answering my prayers to Gaura Nitāi. I was surprised how you are so mercy full even to a new boy. When I was giving my best efforts in Bhakti-vṛkṣa preaching and Book Distribution during Kolkata Ratha-yatra.we were trying to do something new to increase preaching. And we didn't inform you. But within our heart we are trying to satisfy you.and I don't know how before we inform you aksed me the reports and how we are planning. I was very happy to give our service reports. it was looking that you know everything what, we are doing and you are satisfied by our best efforts. After this incident I was convinced that this year our preaching going to become very successful. And exactly same thing happened, those 2-3 year we have highest registration in Bhakti-vṛkṣa stall and we distributed highest no of books in pandal. Guru Mahārāja thank you very much for your presence and blessings in our service to You. Guru mahārāja it was very satisfying and encouraging in my devotional service. 

Recently for last some years due to some obctracles and my lack of sinciarity I am not able to give my 100% whole hearted efforts in devotional service and preaching to satisfy you. In this auspicious occasion of your Vyāsa-pūjā I beg your special mercy so that I can surender my life fully at your lotus feet and give my 100% in your service to Śrīla Prabhupāda. At the end I sincerely beg forgiveness for whatever offences I have committed at your Lotus feet. On the occasion of your vyāsa-pūjā please bless me so that I can become your trust worthy disciple of and strictly follow your instructions and guidance in my life. Guru Mahārāja please bless me so that I can become an insignificant instruments for your service to Srila Prabhupada.

Your unqualified spiritual son,

Hare Krishna Dear Guru Maharaj!
Please accept my respectful Obeissances!
All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!
All Glories to Sri Guru & Sri Gauranga!

Dear Guru Maharaja,On this 71st Vyasa Puja Appearance day of yours I first of all humbly seek foegiveness at your Lotus feet for having committed offenses towards you by not being able to take your instructions regarding Sadhana & Preaching seriously knowingly and unknowingly.

I pray to you to please give me the devotional strength to be able to carry on with my Sadhana Seriously and Sincerely.

I am a Brahmachari at the Sri Narasimha Giridhari Mandir serving under our Temple President His Grace Varada Krishna Prabhu.I take care of the Temple based Congregational Preaching,our Team is guiding a new batch of some 80-90 souls since last 8 months in Krishna Consciousness.We are following the Nama Hatta Model in our temple.

But Guru Maharaja sometimes I feel lack of determination,vigour and enthusiasm and I feel quite incompetent and weak to be able to do this Seva,which is so pleasing you.

Kindly bestow your mercy on me and all of our Team members and all the 80-90 Souls,that we all progress in Krishna Consciousness.

I know you are a dedicated and undisturbed Soldier in the Army of Lord Chaitanya.I pray to you that kindly grant me also a drop of that mood what you have towards Srila Prabhupada and his mission.

Seeking your Causeless mercy.

Your Servant

I just want to beg from you a drop of your spiritual strength in order to go through the challenges offered to me to grow on my devotional path. We are supposed to grow in the relationships we develop, but sometimes we get lost in them instead. We get entrapped in a labyrinth of contradictory desires, unable to discriminate between reality and illusion.

Also want to thank you for your astonishing determination and tolerance to stay in your current body, said not to be a shelter for any soul. How can I understand your love for your spiritual master? Your love for us? I don’t even know the meaning of this word, “love”, on the first place.

HH Bhakti Purosottama Swami explained on March 25^th, at evening class, that by reading Caitanya Caritamrta, Caitanya Bhagavat, we don’t actually need to read any other Vedic literatures, as the conclusion of them is in Mahaprabhu’s lila, in this way making it easier for us to understand.

Maharaj also explained about your desire to leave books for your disciples, so now finally you are spending time to write this Caitanya book. So again, want to thank your concern for us, making this huge effort to make sure we will have access to the easiest way to understand pure bhakti.

Actually there is so much more to thank, please forgive my insufficient gratefulness and please bless me that I may accept devotional service in my heart, someday.

Dear Gurudeva, I would  like to report about my attempts to serve your mission:

Your  Facebook page, Jayapataka Swami Portuguese, has reached over 8000 likes.

I also created a Facebook page to post Spanish translations of your classes, in written form. Liz Valero, your recently aspiring disciple, is helping me with this service. The name of the page: Jayapataka Swami Clases en espanhol.

Also coordinating two groups in WhatsApp, one in Portuguese and the other in Spanish, to post your classes in written form, and sometimes oral form. These groups are for your disciples only, except for a few cases. Some people don’t use Facebook, or just prefer WhatsApp, this is the reason for these groups.

The Bhagavad Gita study group online, in Spanish, which started in 2018, it is a private group and has around 900 members today, six speakers,  the classes are weekly and the number of members actively participating is significantly increasing. We are having constant requests from people to be part of this group.

Eternally grateful to you for engaging me in service, despite my endless disqualifications.

Your aspiring servant,

Mahapremada devi dasi

हरे कृष्ण गुरुमहाराज
कृपया मेरा प्रणाम स्वीकार करे!

प्रभुपाद की प्रचार पताका चारों ओर फहरा रही हैं।
कितनी ही आंधी हो तूफान हो लहरा रही हैं।।

विश्व में ही नहीं, संपूर्ण ब्रमांड में उद्घोष हो रहा।
गुरुमहाराज के प्रचार उत्साह से सभी में शक्ति संचार हो रहा।।

आध्यात्मिक पिता की स्नेहवर्षा में सभी सराबोर हो रहे हैं।
हम सभी आपके चरणों के आश्रय में अपने को सुरक्षित समझ रहे हैं।।

व्यास पूजा पर हम आपक इतना आशीर्वाद चाहते हैं।
कि आपके बताये रास्ते पर हम हमेशा चलते रहे।।
