Letter from Guru Maharaja

My Dear Diksa and Siksa Disciples,

Please accept my blessings. All Glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Kindly find the enclosed report of my present therapies and condition since
I’ve come to America (Note: the report has been already posted earlier). You
can find more details of the previous therapies undertaken from the website
www.jpshealth.info posted by Ratnavali dd.

Many of my disciples are asking when I will visit them and when will I come
to Mayapur. I am not sure yet. I’ve written the GBC Officers and to the
Mayapur Leaders to ask them whether I should continue the therapies or go
back to Mayapur. I will certainly like to visit all of you but I don’t know
how much possible it is. If the physiotherapy is successful then I should be
able to travel and visit. I was traveling around the world 5 or 6 times in a
year, obviously I would not be able to travel as much in the future, but
regarding of how much I’ll travel is not yet, it is premature to decide now.
In this way, I would like to spend more time in my zone, and a few months a
year I’d visit the other centers whenever possible.

All my classes are broadcasted on internet, you can see then at
www.jpsvani.com or at www.jpsoffice.com or while I am in Los Angeles on the
days that I give class in the temple I am visible on www.lalive.us at 7pm on
Thursdays and at 7:30 am on Saturdays.

All letters should be addressed in Spanish to Isvara Puri Maharaja das at:
isvarapurimd108@hotmail.com or in English to Mahavaraha das at:
maha.varaha.jps@pamho.net

I am gradually getting access on emails, if I receive any mail from you
direct I may be able to reply it, but it would be better to send a copy to
Isavara Puri Maharaja das or Mahavaraha das because they check their email
more frequently than I have time to cause of my therapies I am not able to
dedicate much time at the present to emails.

This year is the 500th Anniversary of Lord Caitanya’s taking sannyasi so we
hope that you all celebrate this historical moment, whether I’ll be advise
to visit Mayapur for Gaura Purnima Festival is up in the air, but I intend
to visit for Vyasa Puja at the present moment.

I’ve been able to give class at least once day, on the mornings on Saturdays
and on the evenings the other days. In Los Angeles I’ve been able to give
class on the Sunday Feast, it is at 5pm on Sundays. These are all
broadcasted by internet.

I’ve been performing initiations in person in some places and otherwise by
internet by giving names and sending beads and names to the places and then
giving a class on the internet. Of course in some places I just give a class
on the internet. Like this I try to keep in touch with all my disciples. If
you organize an internet conference in your place, I’ll be happy to address
the devotees.

I am very much eager to gain into the full preaching but I am told that this
is the time for my rehabilitation and then I’ll be able to be more effective
in the long run.

It is very encouraging to me to hear that the construction of the Vedic
Planetarium has started in Mayapur. We are grateful to Ambarish prabhu,  and
Sadbhuja prabhu and others for their help in this regard.

I’ve asked Ratnavali to put up the details of the different therapies that I
went through during these months as well as the devotees that have served.
Specially Mahavaraha das who has been the whole time with me the whole time,
also Isvara Puri Maharaja das and Dr. Acyutananda das who was sent by
Radhanath Swami, and many other devotees who have helped at times and a
special thanks to Ekanath Gaura who was with us for 10 months with wife
Devaki Mayi dd. I have t no words to express my gratitude for all the help
that all of these devotees have given.

Here I am under the shelter of Rukimini Dwarkanath, Jaganath Baladeva
Subhadra and Gaur Nitai Deities. Occasionally I go to Laguna Beach Temple
where they have Pancatattva, Gaura Nitai, and Prabhupada and Bhaktisiddhanta
Saraswati Thakur.

Of course, I am always thinking about Radha Madhava and Astha Sakhis, the
Pancatattva and Prahlad Nrisimhadeva, and Jaganath, Baladeva, Subhadra and
Sudarsan Chakra in Mayapur, and sometimes I am looking at the
www.mayapur.com or www.mayapur.tv and watch the Deities wherever
I am.

Strong in Krsna Conciousness, I pray for you everyday before the Deities. I
hope that you are helping and cooperating together with other ISKCON
devotees, and that you are preaching the message of Lord Caitanya and Srila
Prabhupada.

Your well wisher always,

Jayapataka Swami

PS from Ratnavali DD: Regarding posting the list of therapies and the
devotees who served Guru Maharaja, I am in the process of compiling and it
would be posted on the www.jpshealth.info in a couple of days.
