7 October 2008 7 October, 1974 Mayapur 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. Hamsavatara. das Adhikari, 2. Sangita devi dasi, 3. Loka Saranga das Brahmacari, 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--Guruttama 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 ACBS/bs Labels: initiation, Los Angeles letters | 17:22 | |
