Hare Kṛṣṇa Dearest Guru Mahārāja,

Kindly accept my most humble & respectful obeisances unto your lotus feet!

All Glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda!

All Glories to you Dear Guru Mahārāja on this most auspicious day of your appearance!

Guru Mahārāja, I must confess that I was not at all qualified even for your consideration to give mercy to me, or for the mercy of Śrīla Prabhupāda and Nitāi Gaur, due to which I can get acceptance to your lotus feet. Not just out of humility, but in actual, I have been an outright narādhama. Definitely, since Lord Caitanya is having the mission to deliver the most fallen souls, I also somehow got selected and hence you accepted me!

I don't know how many life I have passed in ignorance. In this life also I spent all my life in deep ignorance. Your acceptance of a person like me is the biggest validation of the causeless mercy of Lord Kṛṣṇa.

Guru Mahārāja, you are the representative of Lord Nityānanda. Thus, you can give Kṛṣṇa's prema to anyone whom you want, if you are pleased with his service.

There cannot even be a question that how will I be able to repay your debt, since it is not possible at all. However, I can try to be sincere to have a genuine desire to serve you for my balance life in your mission towards Śrīla Prabhupāda, try to follow all your instructions and do service to your lotus feet, for which I again need your mercy only. Hence your debt cannot never be satisfied.

Guru Mahārāja, I have started some preaching activity, detail of which I will share with you in a email containing the details. Seeking your blessings to progress with my service and please you.

Your insignificant spiritual son,

Ravinātha Hṛśikeṣa dāsa
