Please accept my blessings. I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter dated November 14, 1973. Regarding the initiations, I accept the following as my initiated disciples:

Richard Richman — Raghava das

Joel Peir — Caitanya Jivan das

Paul Baker — Sriman Pandit das

Carl Franzen — Sulochana das

Howard Wilfield — Narahari das

Neils Hertz — Vallabha Sen das

Barbara Drehl — Bhuvana Pavani dasi

Holly Franzen — Sulochana dasi

Patti Welfield — Bhagavat Sakti dasi

Maureen Hertz — Ragunandini dasi

So you take instruction from Rupanuga Maharaja on how to properly perform the yajna after he has chanted on their beads. Each disciple should go for collecting guru-daksine after the ceremony and the proceeds may be sent here c/o Karandhara.

I hope this meets you in good health.
