Dear Guru Maharaja,
Please accept humble obeisances of your insignificant servant on the most auspicious occasion of your appearance day. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to Your Holiness' lotus feet.
You are the embodiment of grace flowing from Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, paternal care of Srila Prabhupada and maternal love that accepts and guides me to serve you despite my uncountable faults.
Although you always long to give your association to all your disciples, and especially, to the most fallen souls like me, I seldom endeavored for that. But your most munificent devotees (there is no wonder in that because they are like you) engage me in your service and provide your association by all possible means.
Recently, we have ventured, with Your Holiness' blessings, an institute in Kṛṣṇa Kathā Deśh (Kṛṣṇa Kathā Deśa) to cater for the need of Krsna Conscious sastric studies in Kṛṣṇa Kathā Deśa and it has been christened "Kṛṣṇa Kathā Deśa Institute of Higher Education" by His Grace Revati Raman Das Prabhuji. We have started BS in regional languages. There are around 39 enrolled candidates taking up BS in Tamil in 3 different batches currently. Other language batches (Hindi, Telugu and Malayalam) will be started soon. Other than your mercy, nothing will help in perpetuating Prabhupada's mission. Please allow me to serve you in whatever way I can being part of this Institute.
Due to weakness of heart, I always struggle to serve you. Notwithstanding that, you engage me in your service through your disciples. Your acceptance of me as your disciple on 5th April 2014 at Madurai is the pinnacle of mercy you have showered on me, the most unqualified one to date, by providing shelter under Your Holiness's lotus feet and connecting to the bona fide parampara.
Please bless me to be always grateful to Your Holiness, Srila Prabhupada and the parampara acaryas. Please remove the anarthas from my heart, so that I never forget the service to your lotus feet. Please bless me to overcome the difficulties arising in serving you and in perpetuating Srila Prabhupada's mission.
Your blessings are needed towards my family so that my wife Chitra and my son Vamsheedharan shall surrender to Srila Prabhupada and join hands in cultivating and propagating Krsna Consciousness in the society. I long for a cooperating family for practicing and spreading Krsna Consciousness; we need your blessings for that.
I beg forgiveness for my offenses and petty mindedness during any service in Krsna Consciousness.
Thank you so much for your perennial mercy, which I'm unworthy of, but that I'm enjoying always.
Your unworthy spiritual son,
Śankhapāṇi Janārdana dāsa (Dīkșa)
