Dearest Godbrother and Friend Jayapataka Swami Maharaja,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
On this auspicious day commemorating your appearance, I take the opportunity to thank you for being the sterling example of a disciple of Srila Prabhupada and of a servant of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and Their Mission.

Several times I have been asked by some of your well-wishers to request from you that you slow down in your active, external service so as to take better care of your health. I have invariably told them, "No, I will not do that. He clearly wants to offer his very self in service in this way and that is his prerrogative. He is showing all that a devotee of a high order is unstoppable by material circumstances and that is, rather, admirable and to be followed by those who can. Those of us of lesser stature, cannot, and must stand in appreciation."

Thank you for allowing me in your association.
Most affectionately, I remain,
Your servant,
Virabahu Dasa
