I offer my respectful obeisances unto Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and Sri  Nityananda Prabhu, whose arms extend down to Their knees, who have  golden yellow complexions, and who inaugurated the congregational  chanting of the holy names of the Lord. Their eyes resemble the petals  of a lotus flower; They are the maintainers of the living entities, the best  of the brahmanas, the protectors of religious principles for this age, the  benefactors of the universe, and the most merciful of all incarnations.

TRANSLATION
1) My friend! That most magnanimous Sri Gauranga Mahaprabhu has appeared as the rising sun to dispel the darkness of this age Kali.
 
2) His brilliant golden complexion shames the bright luster of gold, and His beauty defeats the pride of Cupid. His curly black hair is decorated with a garland made of malati flowers, and bumble bees fly around them.
 
3) His beautiful moonlike face is decorated with tilaka, and His dressing enchants the whole world. His sweet smile delivers all embodied souls from the mire of material existence, by generating in them greed for love of Godhead. He displays unique ecstatic symptoms.
 
4) He Hankering to relish the unparalleled pastimes of the greatly munificent Sri Gaurasundara, who distributes mercy in the form of nama-prema to the supremely fortunate niskincana souls (those whose only possession is love of Krishna), the fallen and foolish Radha-mohana sings in a mood of great distress

Initiation is the beginning of a lifelong commitment to this path. As soon as we have faith in a guru and the willingness to serve and to follow, then our relationship with our Guru has been established. But the particular ceremony, the particular offering of initiation is a deep, sincere, lifelong commitment to follow. ‘yasya prasadad bhagavat-prasado’ to please our Guru, and please all the previous acharya and Krishna, though the sincerity of our efforts, 
So these vows that are taken, sometimes Prabhupad would call them rules and regulations. And especially Srila Prabhupada explains from Krishna’s words in Bhagavad Gita ‘raga-dvesa-vimuktais tu’ these are the regulative principles of freedom. They're not meant to bind us, they're meant to the parade us because we're already bound. Sometimes people think that these rules and regulations are too restrictive. But the reality is we are already restricted, our hands, our legs, our heads, our feets, our hearts, our brains, every part of us is shackled, like prisoners of Maya’s dictations. And whatever principles there are in Bhakti, are there to liberate us from those shackles, liberate us from that bondage, so that we could actually be free to live by the real spirit of the soul, to be free, to love Krishna, to be an instrument of Krishna’s love and to be happy, to be free from the fear of death and all the uncertainties of life. So, we're taking vows for this purpose.

Initiation Is The Beginning Of A Lifelong Commitment

But Lord Varaha, what technology he has. He could roar with such volume, it’ s heard through all the different, through the 14 planetary systems from satya loka down to patalaloka, when he roar’s everybody hears it. And the sages who are right next to him, it sounded very sweet. It sounded powerful but beautiful. So, this is the Lord’s achintya shakti, inconceivable potencies. When he roared and when they saw that everybody could hear it and it was so nice, it was so beautiful. It’s described that Lord Chaitanya, sometimes he would roar when he was in ecstasy with the volume of ten million lions. It was so powerful this roar that by his yoga maya potency, he had to enter every single person’s ears to protect it from blasted to pieces. And everyone it was loud but everyone liked it, it was beautiful, it was sweet. So, when they heard this and they saw this gigantic form, they all understood ‘this is Bhagavan, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Varaha dev.’ Haribol!
