Please accept my blessings. Enclosed find the names of the devotees you have recommended for initiation which I hereby accept as my duly initiated disciples:

Bryan Davis — Basu-Ghosh das

Paul Wax — Pandrika das

Andy Frenkel — Sankirtana das

Puspu Singh — Yasoda devi dasi

Pat Langlois — Subhadra dasi

Edie Manischewitz — Virmila dasi

Also, find one sacred thread and two mantra sheets for the second initiates. Hold a fire yajna and afterwards the second initiates may listen to the Gayatri mantra tape through the right ear.

I hope this finds you well.
