Dear Jayapataka Swami,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
My thanks to you for your Krishna conscious example to the world of a devoted and pure preacher of Krishna consciousness. You are so dear to Lord Krishna for always preaching the Bhagavad Gita to the devotees.

Here is a quote from Srila Prabhupada's purport from Bhagavad Gita, 18.66, "One should be confident that in all circumstances Krishna will protect him from all difficulties. There is no need of thinking how one should keep the body and soul together. Krishna will see to that. One should always think himself helpless and should consider Krishna the only basis for his progress in life. As soon as one seriously engages himself in devotional service to the Lord in full Krishna consciousness, at once he becomes freed from all contamination of material nature."  I always feel helpless and look to the shelter of my senior god brothers and god sisters for protection.

And Lord Krishna's promise in Bhagavad Gita 18.65 gives so much solace. “Always think of Me, become My devotee, worship Me and offer your homage unto Me. Thus you will come to Me without fail. I promise you this because you are My very dear friend."

These words from Srila Prabhupada and Lord Krishna give us hope. The pure devotees of the Lord give us strength to become pure and surrendered to Krishna's lotus feet and to serve Srila Prabhupada and his followers in this glorious Sankirtan movement.

My sincere appreciation to you Maharaja and your wonderful disciples who are engaged so sincerely in devotional service.

Your servant,
