My Dear Tulsi das:
Please accept my blessings. I am in due receipt of your letter dated September 29, 1974. I am glad to learn that all the programs are going on nicely. Especially the college programs. If they are helping with funds, then there is much scope.
I am glad that you are taking the recommendation of new initiates very seriously, that they are writing essays. Yes, it is a serious matter. Not that let me take a spiritual master as a pet and I can do whatever I want. No, one must be prepared to follow the order of the spiritual master with life and soul.
I accept the following for second initiation, and the sanctified threads are enclosed: 1. Hamsavatar das Adhikari, 2. Sangita devi dasi, 3. Loka Saranga das Brahmachary, 4. Omkara dasi, 5. Manindra devi dasi, 6. Divya devi dasi. On your recommendation I accept the following for first initiation and their names are as follows: 1. Roger Villalaban-Ranapriya, 2. Chuck- Ksetrajna dasa, 3. Roger Barbour- Raksana dasa, 4. Bob- Bhava dasa, 5. Glenn- Gurutama dasa, 6. Louis- Lohitaksa dasa, 7. Diane- Diksavati devi dasi, 8. Michelle- Mahavegavati devi dasi, 9. Dawn- Devamata devi dasi, 10. Andrea- Rasajna devi dasi, 11. Francie- Phalini devi dasi.
I hope this meets you in good health.


Your ever well wisher,

A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami
