Dear Citsukhananda,

Please accept my blessing. On your recommendation I am accepting the following devotees as my initiated disciples and there Spiritual names are as follows:

1st Initiation Wilfredo—Varesa Ricardo—Urdhvabhaga Pedro—Puruji Harry—Tarksya Carlos—Durantavira Steve—Siddhajana Salvador—Gopesa Jorje—Kavi Teo—Krato Solvai—Subhanana Dasi Bula—Tilakaini Dasi Maria—Modani Dasi Anthony Velasquez—Pitamvara Lenox—Vasuki Anthony—Vama Reinaldo—(now here in Los Angeles) Simhadasa

2nd Initiation Viraha dasa Pramona dasa Tamoha dasa Vara devi dasi

I have duly chanted on the threads of the three men recommended by you for Second initiation, Viraha, Pramona, and Tamoha, and you may also distribute gayatri mantra to Vara devi dasi. Play the tape of gayatri mantra in their right ear and instruct them regarding Brahminical principles. For those receiving first initiation impress on them the importance of chanting at least sixteen rounds daily without fail and always observe the regulative principles. You may hold fire yajna for the initiates and instruct them on the ten offenses to chanting.

Your ever well-wisher, A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami
