TRANSLATION

I pray to the lotus feet of the six Gosvamis—Sri Rapa, Sanatana, Bhatta
Raghunatha, Sri Jiva, Gopala Bhatta and Dasa Raghunatha—so that all impedi-
ments to my writing this literature will be annihilated and my real desire will
be fulfilled.

PURPORT

If one wants to benefit the entire world, he will certainly find persons like hogs
and pigs who will put forward many impediments. That is natural. But if a devotee
seeks shelter at the lotus feet of the six Gosvamis, the merciful Gosvamis will cer-
tainly give the Lord’s servitor all protection. It is not astonishing that impediments
are placed before those who are spreading the Krsna consciousness movement all
over the world. Nevertheless, if we adhere to the lotus feet of the six Gosvamis
and pray for their mercy, all impediments will be annihilated, and the transcenden-
tal devotional desire to serve the Supreme Lord will be fulfilled.
