All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda

Respected Gurumahārāja,
Please accept my respectful obeisances unto your lotus feet.
People search for Absolute truth. People search for God.
You are distributing Love of Godhead, by which everyone will be satisfied unlimitedly.
You are giving the highest wealth to me. I have never sincerely served you.
On this auspicious occasion of your appearance day, I remember one shloka from Śrīmad Bhāgavatam.
janasya kṛṣṇād vimukhasya daivād
adharma-śīlasya suduḥkhitasya
anugrahāyeha caranti nūnaṁ
bhūtāni bhavyāni janārdanasya
O my lord, great philanthropic souls travel on the earth on behalf of the Supreme Personality of Godhead to show compassion to the fallen souls, who are averse to the sense of subordination to the Lord. SB 3.5.3
I am shameful not to be grateful for your compassion. Please forgive my disobedience. Please i beg you to pull me out from the illusionary life so that I can serve your instructions sincerely.
Your insignificant son
Tirthanga Nitai dasa.
