influenced by the best of motives and at considerable selfsacrifice, Your Holiness has crossed boundless seas and oceans to convey the message of truth and peace, and to plant the flag if India's spiritual triumph and glory in the rich soil of Europe and America. Your Holiness has, both by precept and practice, shown thee feasibility and importance of universal brotherhood. Above all, your labours in the West have indirectly and to a great extent tended to awaken the apathetic sons and daughters of India to a sense of the greatness and glory of their ancestral faith, and to create in them a genuine interest in the study and observance of their dear and priceless religion.
We feel we cannot adequately convey in words our feelings of gratitude and thankfulness to your Holiness for your phianthropic labours towards the spiritual regeneration of the East and the West. We cannot close this address without referring to the great kindness which your Holiness has always extended to our Raja, who is one of your devoted disciples, and the honour and pride he feels by this gracious act of your Holiness in landing first on his territory is indescribable.
In conclusion, we pray to the Almighty to bless your Holiness with long life, and heath, and strength to enable you to carry on the good work that has been so ably inaugurated by you.
with respects and love, We beg to subscribe ourselves,
Your Holiness most devoted and obedient DISCIPLES
and SER VANTS
