Here are a few words for my dear Godbrother Acaryapada:

To me, His Holiness Jayapataka Swami, Acaryapada, has always been a kind and loving spiritual brother. He has dedicated himself, heart and soul, to Lord Caitanya's sankirtan mission and has no other life, no other interest, no other engagement or thought, but the sankirtana movement. For this, every good soul must honor him. I regret that I am not personally with him to celebrate his birthday, however in spirit I am with him. I pray that he will eternally remain my affectionate wellwisher, brother and friend.

With best wishes,
Hridayananda das Goswami
