Timeline of His Holiness Jayapataka Swami's Life - 1968-1977

1970 August 26 - Letter from Śrīla Prabhupāda. from Tokyo to Jayapatākā dāsa Brahmacārī. Calcutta (Kolkata)

Tokyo, 26 August, 1970

My Dear Jayapataka,

Please accept my blessings. I thank you for your Vyasa Pujah Homage Telegram reading as follows received yesterday morning!

"(Vyasa puja Poetry) to save the world
And serve the Lord He left His home
And His children too
Two children lost some thousands gained,
Krishna's mercy received in
Party splint a stumbling block
With world God-Consciousness
The aim His Divine Grace bridges
The gap to bless the world with Gauraprema,
Jayapataka's life is not his own
It's Prabhupada's to do with as His own''

I feel very much obliged to you for your nice understanding about my mission. Your offer of service to the cause of our Lord is also welcomed. I hope in future you shall be of great help in my mission and I can count upon. More when we meet. We are seven starting on Saturday including one Japanese nice boy.

Your ever well-wisher,
A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami

P.S. I have received no letter from you to Tokyo-address.
