My dear Guru Mahārāja,
I offer my humble obeisances unto your lotus feet. All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda. I am so fortunate to have you as my guru, who has guided me in my spiritual life and my life is successful by your mercy. I pray to Śrī Śrī Kṛṣṇa Balarāma and Śrī Śrī Gaura Nitāi, to shower Their mercy on you so that like myself, many more can get shelter of your lotus feet. By your mercy, now I am able to wake up early and chant 16 rounds daily, more pleasingly. I attend guru-pūjā daily without fail, and then go to the factory. I offer the food stuff to Guru and Kṛṣṇa before I eat, and I also follow Ekādaśī. Though I do not read any books, I associate with the temple devotees, and this inspires me to surrender to your lotus feet. I do not have any personal qualification, but because of your mercy I am able to take up devotional service.
Your fallen servant,
Saccidānanda Dāsa
