Dear Guru Mahārāja,
nama oṁ viṣṇu-pādāya kṛṣṇa-preṣṭhāya bhū-tale
śrīmate jayapatāka svāmin iti nāmine
nama ācaryapādāya nitāi-kṛpā-pradāyine
gaura-kathā-dhāma-dāya nagara-grāma-tāriṇe
Please accept my humble obeisances unto your lotus feet.
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!
All glories to your divine appearance day!
All glories to you!
I am so grateful to you to be under your shelter. You are very merciful to so many fallen conditioned souls like me. You are always thinking of innovative ways to preach Kṛṣṇa consciousness and expand the saṅkīrtana movement all over the world. Your dedication and commitment in fulfilling the instructions of Śrīla Prabhupāda is beyond extraordinary. The care that you exhibit for the devotees and disciples is exemplary. Without your blessings, it is not possible for me to continue in devotional service as I am such a fallen soul. I am praying that I become more and more serious in Kṛṣṇa Consciousness and wishing to get initiated by you soon. I beg at your lotus feet to accept me and shower your blessings upon me on this divine appearance day of your holiness.
Your insignificant Servant,
Saravanabagugan (sheltered disciple)
