Hare Kṛṣṇa Guru Mahārāja,
Please accept my respectful obeisances on to your lotus feet.
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!
All glories to Guru and Gaurāṅga!
I am not qualified to glorify your service. Even though I had many opportunities to take up spiritual advancement I am so fallen and ignorant that I could not recognise the call from spiritual father. I come across many obstacles in spiritual and material life but I could feel that you have been with me all the time to make sure I am progressing well.
Now I am very fortunate to be in the association of your disciples in East London. It is because of your causeless mercy now I have been chanting 16 rounds every day, doing Aarthi to deities every day and I have taken up service of preaching to children group. I am so fallen that I cannot remember what I read and I lack quality of reproducing scriptures. But if you bless me I certainly aspire to spread Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
Though I am not qualified at all, I wish to take your darśana and serve you. I am aspiring to take shelter on to your lotus feet. I have very strong desire to accept Dīkṣā from you. I humbly seek your mercy for all this to happen. Also, I seek your blessing and mercy so that me and my family members will be able to progress in devotional service and be in the association of great devotees.
All glories to your auspicious appearance day.
Yours humble servant,
Thanigai velu Mani (well-wisher)
