From: "bhakti.vikasa.swami"
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 donot take any offense. Accept whatever I can do. That's all. That is myrequest." That mantra is sufficient. Krsna says in the Bhagavad-gita, yo mebhaktya prayacchati. Krsna never said that "One who offers Me with Sanskritmantra." Yo me bhaktya prayacchati. Real thing is bhakti, feeling: "How toserve Krsna? How to please Him?" That is wanted. Not to see that you are avery good scholar in speaking in Sanskrit or English or... That is not...Always feel that "I am worthless, but I have been, by the grace of my GuruMaharaja, I have been given the chance. So kindly accept whatever littleservice I can give. I am offensive. So kindly excuse me." In this way behumble, meek, and offer your feeling, and Krsna will be satisfied. Not thatyou have to show how you can speak in Sanskrit language.Ref.
