My beloved Guru Mahārāja,
May I offer my respectful and humble obeisances at your lotus feet on this blessed and glorious appearance day.
In search of a guru and shelter for my spiritual elevation, I have visited many swamis and āśramas in South India. I am very happy that I have come to the right place and have taken shelter of the right person.
I beg your abounding mercy which can help me across the ocean of dualities. On this auspicious day please let me again appeal at your lotus feet that I may be allowed to develop attachment and sincerity to serve you eternally.
May I take this opportunity to pray to Śrī Śrī Rādhā Mādhava to bless you with a healthy and happy span of life to execute the desires of your beloved guru, Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Your most fallen soul,
Nityānanda Karuṇā Dāsa
