nama-srestham manum api saci-putram atra svarupam

rupam tasyagrajam uru-purim mathurim gosthavatim

radha-kundam giri-varam aho radhika-madhavasam

prapto yasya prathita-krpaya sri gurum nato ’sma

I bow my head with all respect unto Sri Gurudeva. Because he has given me the most exalted holy name. The service of that great savior, the son of Mother Saci and His most favorite personal assistant, Svarupa Damodara. He has brought me in connection with Sri Rupa Gosvami. Gurudeva has given me Mathura-mandala where Radha and Govinda have Their eternal pastimes. By the grace of Sri Gurudeva, I have become acquainted with Radha-kunda and this great Govardana. And lastly he has given me the hope that one day I can get the service of Sri Sri Radhika and Madhava. I have been given all these assurances by Sri Gurudeva, so I bow my head with all respects to his holy lotus feet.
