Worshipable Gurudev,
On the auspicious day of your appearance day, please accept my obeisances at your lotus feet.
First of all I pray Rādhā Mādhav, Pañcatatwa Bhagvan and Narasingha Dev for your good health, so that we your most fallen disciples can get more and more mercy in our life. I am a “akinchan” and cannot glorify you but you will ignore me and forgive me. In my devotional service, so many obstacles are coming and it is seems to be mechanical. Initially, whatever taste towards the devotional was there, it has been slowed down. I request you to remove me from this material ocean. I am not fit to glorify you. Please shower your mercy, ignore my mistakes and make me do devotional service.
I am begging your special mercy to develop in spiritual life.
Yours spiritual son,
