My dear Guru Mahārāja,
please accept my respectful obeisance to your lotus feet!
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda! All the glories to Your Divine Grace and to your auspicious appearance day! All glories to Śrī Guru and Gaurāṅga!
Dear Guru Mahārāja, in an increasingly degraded and uncertain world, you are a shining lighthouse for all those who want to escape suffering and find true happiness!
Due to external energy the embodied souls get an altered consciousness and identifying with matter under the influence of ignorance they mistake the material body for the true self, mistake sense gratification for happiness, live in anxiety and complaint and they think that something can exist apart from the Absolute Truth; due to this they suffer greatly, but simply by enjoying your company, listening to your words and serving your lotus feet anyone can surrender himself to the Lord, immediately becoming free from the five forms of ignorance, and realizing his true self in relationship with Lord Kṛṣṇa.
Your entire life and attitude towards service to Śrīla Prabhupāda and the mission of Lord Caitanya and Nityānanda is an exemplary and perfect model for us advantaged disciples to follow. Unfortunately, I am not very capable, so I humbly request you to give me blessings so that I can develop the necessary intelligence to satisfy you and serve you in your mission in Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
Always eternally grateful,
Your humble servant,
Murāri-Caitanya dāsa (dīkṣā)
