Dear Romapada Swami Gurudeva,

Please accept my most humble obeisances unto your lotus feet. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! All glories to Romapada Swami Gurudeva, who is very dear to all-merciful Lord Krsna and who is the savor of the fallen souls.

If you and all the acaryas did not come, we will be still be deeply entangled in the dark pangs of material miseries; if you and all the acaryas did not come, we will be still be thrown into the illusion of impersonalism; if you and all the acaryas did not come, what kind of calamities will be awaiting for us.

Gurudeva! Benefactor of human! Personification of mercy and knowledge! Your coming is like the Sun’s dispelling the fear of darkness, your coming builds the bridge between the fallen soul and the Lord, your coming makes it possible to practice the path of bhakti, your coming is just like the lamp that shows the direction of my devotional service.

I offer my respectful obeisance unto your lotus feet again and again! To take shelter of your lotus feet is my intense desire! To obtain the shelter of your lotus feet is my fortune! To praise the glories of your lotus feet is my happiness! To serve the dust under your lotus feet is my life!

I offer my humble obeisance unto your lotus feet again! Fervently pray you with long life!

Your eternal servant,
Bhaktin Shi Lintian
