Srila Prabhupada says, ''Real thing is bhakti, feeling: "How to serve Krsna? How to please Him?" That is wanted.''............
Srila Prabhupada reveals the Prayer of Worthlessness of a Pure Devotee..........
Prabhupada: Any language, you should submit, and you should feel that, that:
"I am worthless. My Guru Maharaja has given this chance to serve Krsna, to offer Krsna... My Lord, I am worthless. I have no capacity to serve You. But on the order of my Guru Maharaja, I am trying to serve You. Please do not take any offense. Accept whatever I can do. That's all. That is my request."
That mantra is sufficient. Krsna says in the Bhagavad-gita, [Bg. 9.26].
[If one offers Me with love and devotion a leaf, a flower, fruit or water, I will accept it.]
Krsna never said that "One who offers Me with Sanskrit mantra." Real thing is bhakti, feeling: "How to serve Krsna? How to please Him?" That is wanted. Not to see that you are a very good scholar in speaking in Sanskrit or English. Always feel that:
"I am worthless, but I have been, by the grace of my Guru Maharaja, I have been given the chance. So kindly accept whatever little service I can give. I am offensive. So kindly excuse me."
In this way be humble, meek, and offer your feeling, and Krsna will be satisfied. Not that you have to show how you can speak in Sanskrit language.>>> Ref. VedaBase => Room Conversation -- April 12, 1975, Hyderabad
