Queridos discípulos y bienquerientes, Por favor, acepten mis bendiciones y buenos deseos.
Todas las glorias sean a Srila Prabhupada!
Mi oficina en Mayapur, comúnmente conocida como "JPS Office", se creó principalmente para facilitar a mis discípulos y bienquerientes que me ayude en mi servicio a Srila Prabhupada y para que les ayude al progreso y en su conciencia de Krishna .
Quiero informar a todos ustedes que desde que ya no estoy de viaje tan extensamentivamente debido a mi estado de salud, deseo de intensificar las actividades de mi oficina en Mayapur.
Queremos aumentar sobre todo la comunicación.
El año pasado en noviembre asistí al Sri Ksetra Parikrama en Puri. Durante esta estancia en Puri, desarrollé una infección en la pierna. Cuando llegué a Australia, la infección se diagnosticó como MRSA.
Primero visité Perth, a continuación Melbourne y, finalmente, al llegar a Sydney, fui admitido en un hospital.
Los devotos en Australia cuidaron bien de mí. Esta hospitalización fue un revés en mi terapia regular. Cuando volví a la India, visité Coimbatore para un tratamiento ayurvédico. Esto aceleró el proceso de curación por la infección MRSA.
Entonces llegué a Mayapur para las reuniones del GBC. Después de éstas, tuvimos el Festival Anual de Gaura Purnima. Este año tuvimos cuatro equipos de parikrama: Internacional, ruso, hindi y bengalí.
Hindi fue un grupo nuevo este año pues desde los últimos años tenemos un gran número de devotos que hablan Hindi que visitan Mayapur para el festival.
Fui capaz de visitar todos los los cuatro equipos en cada día de parikrama. Mi discípulo Mahavaraha das ha escrito informes detallados de ellos. Ustedes pueden leerlos visitando www.jpsdisciples.com
Después del festival de Gaura Purnima fui a Kurukshetra y luego llegué a Vrindavan para participar del Safari.
Este año los devotos viajaron por primera vez a Gaya, a continuación, a Kurukshetra y ahora están en Vrindavan.
A partir de aquí iría Jaipur, a continuación, Siliguri y finalmente llegaria a Mayapur para Ramnavami y mi Vyasa Puja.
Tengo previsto visitar Los Angeles poco después de Narasimha Caturdashi y, a continuación ir a Atlanta para el festival Panihati. Después planeo viajar a Sur América y luego regresar a Calcuta para el Ratha Yatra.
Más adelante en el año planeo visitar Rusia si es posible. Esta no es una lista exhaustiva de los lugares
a los que planeo visitar. Pasare más tiempo en Mayapur.
Para su información, Vaikunthapati das y Ratnavali Devi Dasi quienes manejaron la gestión de mi oficina en Mayapur estan ahora ejerciendo otros servicios. Estoy agradecido y sinceramente complacido con ellos por los valiosos diversos servicios que han prestado en el pasado en mi oficina.
Un equipo de gestión temporal constituida por Ganga das, Acintya Caitanya das, Adi Devi Dasi y Vidvan Gauranga das se ha establecido en consulta conmigo, para administrar mi oficina en Mayapur, y los he instruido a funcionar bajo y ser responsable ante un comité de mis discípulos senior : el Comité JPS Seva , quines reestructurarán mi oficina.
El JPS Seva Comité está constituido por Vijaya das Venugopal (presidente), Prema Vikash das (Vicepresidente), das Srivallabha (coordinador de Finanzas), Maha Varaha das y das Simhesvara (coordinadores de los funcionarios), Marici Das (Viajes coordinador), Iksvaku das y Prema das Caru (coordinadores de la Salud
).
En estos momentos estamos en busca de un supervisor y un administrador de mi oficina.
Los interesados puede solicitar a la Comisión
de JPS Seva que procese las aplicaciones y presentarme sus recomendaciones para mi aprobación.
Ratnavali dd y Vaikuntapati das ya no aceptan correspondencia en mi nombre o mi oficina.
Respecto de los asuntos de oficina, en el ínterin, por favor escriba a Acintya Caitanya dasa:
acintya.caitanya.jps @ pamho.net o Vidvan Gauranga dasa: vidvan.gauranga.jps @ pamho.net
Para solicitar el puesto en la Oficina
, por favor ponerse en contacto con Vijaya Venugopal das: Vijaya.venugopala.jps @pamho.net
En los últimos años, mi oficina no ha estado activa. La presente reestructuración tiene por objeto simplificar la oficina y hacerla eficiente.
A este respecto nos gustaría primera actualizar la base de datos para crear una activa comunicación con todos ustedes. Si su información de contacto ha cambiado en alguna manera por favor envíe la información “cambiada” a mi oficina por escrito o a Acintya dasa Caitanya o Vidvan Gauranga dasa.
También quiero hacer hincapié en que las funciones de la oficina de JPS son puramente de naturaleza espiritual. Esta oficina no ha sido autorizado por mí para llevar a cabo directa o indirectamente, los planes financieros, empresas de marketing u otro tipo de empresas comerciales para facilitar cualquiera de mis servicios a la misión de Srila Prabhupada o por cualquier otra razón.
Estas actividades van en contra del sentido y la finalidad de esta oficina.
Una innovación reciente ha puesto de relieve que algunos miembros de mi oficina podría haber participado en algunos de estos procedimientos, a su título personal. Nunca he perdonado ni he de tolerar cualquier actividad ya sea en mi nombre o en nombre de la oficina. Incluso si ellos dicen que he
tolerado dicha actividad ya sea en mi nombre o en nombre de la oficina, por favor, sepan que no es cierto. Ni yo ni la oficina es responsable de tales actividades.
Por favor, no involucrarse con cualquiera de dichos sistemas, aunque mis discípulos clamen que lo hacen sólo para ayudarme a mi o a ellos, estos sistemas deben ser autorizados por mí. Pueden sino informar inmediatamente Acintya Caitanya dasa o Vidvan Gauranga dasa siempre que dicha actividad viene a su atención.
Su siempre bienqueriente,
Jayapataka Swami

Dear disciples and wellwishers,
Please accept my blessings and good wishes. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
My office in Mayapur, commonly known as "JPS Office", was set up mainly to facilitate my disciples and wellwishers to assist me in my service to Srila
Prabhupada and for me to help them to progress well in their Krishna consciousness.
I want to inform all of you that since I am no longer traveling extensively due to my health condition, I wish to step up the activities of my office at Mayapur. We want to especially increase communication. Last year in November I attended the Sri Ksetra Parikrama at Puri. During this stay at Puri, I developed a leg infection. When I reached Australia,
the infection was diagnosed as MRSA. I first visited Perth, then Melbourne and finally when I reached Sydney
, I was admitted in a hospital. The devotees in Australia took good care of me. This hospitalization was a
setback to my regular therapy. When I returned to India, I visited Coimbatore
for Ayurvedic treatment. This quickened the MRSA infection healing process. Then I reached Mayapur for the GBC meetings. After the GBC
meetings we had the annual Gaura Purnima Festival. This year we had four parikrama parties, International, Russian, Hindi and Bengali. Hindi was a new addition this year since in recent years we have a large number of Hindi
speaking devotees who visit Mayapur for the festival. I was able visit all the four parikrama parties on each day of the parikrama. My disciple Mahavaraha das has written detailed reports of the parikrama. You can read
them by visiting www.jpsdisciples.com
After the Gaura Purnima festival I went to Kurukshetra and then came to Vrndavan to participate in Safari. This year the devotees first traveled to Gaya
, then to Kurukshetra and now they are in Vrndavan. From here they will
go to Jaipur, then Siliguri and finally they will reach Mayapur for Ramnavami and my Vyasa Puja.
I plan to visit Los Angeles sometime after Narasimha Caturdashi and then go to Atlanta for Panihati festival. After that I plan to travel to South America
and then return to Kolkata for Rath Yatra. Later in the year I plan
to visit Russia if possible. This is not an exhaustive list of places that I plan to visit. I will be spending more time in Mayapur. For your information, Vaikunthapati das and Ratnavali devi dasi who were managing my office at Mayapur are now rendering other services. I am grateful and sincerely thankful to them for the various valuable services
they have rendered in the past at my office.
A temporary management team constituted of Ganga
das, Acintya Caitanya das, Adi devi dasi and Vidvan Gauranga das has been set up in consultation with me to manage my office at Mayapur, and I have instructed them to function
under and be answerable to a committee of my senior disciples, the JPS Seva Committee, which will restructure my office.
The JPS Seva Committee is constituted of Vijaya Venugopal das (Chairman),Prema Vikash das (Vice-chairman), Srivallabha das (Finance coordinator), Maha Varaha das and Simhesvara das (Staff coordinators), Marici Das (Travel
coordinator), Iksvaku das and Prema Caru das (Health coordinators).
We are currently looking for a supervisor and a manager for my office. Those interested can apply to the JPS Seva Committee which will process the applications and present their recommendations to me for my approval.
Ratnavali dd and Vaikuntapati das are no longer accepting correspondence on my behalf or for my office.
For office matters, in the interim, please write to Acintya Caitanya dasa: acintya.caitanya.jps@pamho.net or Vidvan Gauranga dasa: vidvan.gauranga.jps@pamho.net
To apply either for JPS Office Manager or JPS Office Supervisor please contact Vijaya Venugopal das: Vijaya.venugopala.jps@pamho.net In the past few years my office has not been active. The present
restructuring is intended to streamline the office and make it efficient. In this regard we would like to first update our database to set up active communication with all of you. If your contact information has changed in any way please send the changed information to my office by writing either to Acintya Caitanya dasa or Vidvan Gauranga dasa.
I also want to emphasize that the functions of JPS office are purely spiritual in nature. This office has not been authorised by me to conduct directly or indirectly any financial schemes, marketing ventures or other commercial enterprises to facilitate any of my services to Srila Prabhupada's mission or for any other reason. Such activities go against the
very spirit and purpose of this office.
A recent development has thrown light that some members from my office might have been involved in some such schemes, in their personal capacities. I have never condoned nor do I ever condone any such activity either on my
behalf or on behalf of the office. Even if they claim that I have condoned such activity either on my behalf or on behalf of the office, please know that it is not true. Neither I nor the office is responsible for such activities.
Please do not get involved with any such schemes even if my disciples Chaim to be doing them only to help me or if they claim these schemes to be authorised by me; rather immediately inform Acintya Caitanya dasa or Vidvan Gauranga dasa whenever any such activity comes to your attention. Your well wisher always,
Jayapataka Swami
