His Divine Grace Śrīla Ācāryapāda,
I beg you to please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.
Given this opportunity, I address Your Divine Grace to thank you so much for all that you have done for me, teaching by example a simple, healthy life, with an objective, for which to live without hate or resentment.
Your presence causes joy, optimism, determination and strength to carry on the life, of celibacy.
Your Divine Grace, I know that you would like me to surrender to your lotus feet, to help expand this Movement of Saṅkīrtana Yajña, but I don't have any intelligence to accept this great gift offered by Your Divine Grace.
Your Divine Grace, I will do my best to integrate myself the Movement and in that way to satisfy what Your Divine Grace so much wants.
Your Divine Grace, maybe these words don’t have much value in relation to what Your Divine Grace has given me, so the only thing I can say is,
Thank you very much!
