I worship the holy lotus feet of he who perfectly fulfills the most
cherished wish of his divine master; Who is adorned resplendently with the blessings of his guru varga; Who is adept in all Vedic conceptions, both conceivable and inconceivable; Who is the faithful follower in the line of Sri Rupa; Who is known as Srila Govinda Maharaj; Whose beautiful divine figure revels in the mellows of divine love; Who is the guru of the entire universe and the bestower of the seed of divine love for the Supreme Lord. |

| Applying the soothing salve of sambandha-jnana, a proper acquaintance with the environment, my spiritual master has opened my inner eye and thereby rescued me from the darkness of ignorance, fulfilling my life's aspirations.
I offer my respects unto Sri Gurudeva. |
