Hare Kṛṣṇa!
Daṇḍavat praṇāms, Guru Mahārāja. Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.
Dear Guru Mahārāja,
I am not a worthy person to offer glorification, but I am grateful to have the opportunity to serve under your grace. For the last 8–9 years, I have been engaged in Kṛṣṇa's service, though not fully able to fulfill my duties properly. However, since last year, I have been striving harder to serve Lord Kṛṣṇa sincerely under His grace, through Amṛteśa Kṛṣṇa Dāsa.
You are the most humble and dedicated servant of Kṛṣṇa I have ever seen in my life. I desire to come under your shelter so that I may serve better. Please bestow your mercy upon me.
His Holiness Jayapatākā Swāmī Mahārāja ki jaya!
Jagat-guru Śrīla Prabhupāda ki jaya!
Your servant,
Himāṁśu
