Dear Guru Mahārāja,
Please accept my respectful obeisances. I am very excited to write my first offering to you on this wonderful occasion. Guru Mahārāja I want to serve Nitāi and Gaurāṅga and want to please them. However I am so sinful and degraded that I am not able to do it. I always look at your face in the altar and ask for mercy and guidance. Please shower your mercy upon me so that I may never deviate from my true path which is to get the mercy of Gaurāṅga and Nitāi. With this material contamination I am always forgetting the real goal of this human life. Please have mercy upon me... On this wonderful occasion, I pray to Kṛṣṇa for your good health.
All glories to your auspicious appearance day.
Your servant
Pranab Nayak (aspiring disciple)
Gaurāṅga Deśa
