He slashed to shreds the illusion of the whole material universe, putting a
stop to scholarly speculations and conceptions of liberation; he eased the
strict rules and regulations, bestowing the conception of natural loving
worship of the Divine Couple – may the devotional teachings of this Sri
Bhaktisiddhanta play eternally in our hearts.

You reside at Sri Gaura Dham aspiring after shelter in Sri Vraja Dham, which
is attainable through exclusive devotion to Sri Gauranga Mahaprabhu.
Protectively enclosing devotional scriptures, you have put an end to unholy
association and removed the pain of the ignorant. You possess exclusive
attachment to Sri Rupa, bow in obeisance to Sri Sanatan and radiate the
powerful effulgence of Sri Jiva. May You, Sri Siddhanta Saraswati, the
shelter of all Gaudiya members, be ever victorious.

To bestow benefit upon all souls, you benevolently established Sri Chaitanya
Math in Mayapur that stands on the bank of the Ganges in the land of Gauda,
on the newly discovered nine islands of Nabadwip, which is non-different from
Sri Vraja. In the succession of Gaudiya teachers, you are renowned as Sri
Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati. Arising like the radiant sun in the morning sky,
you are worshippable to all followers of Srila Rupa Goswami.

O Universal Guru, Bhagavan Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur! Please
mercifully consider me, birth after birth, a speck of dust at your holy lotus
feet.
