Letter to: Balavanta — Bombay 21 March, 1974

Please accept my blessings. I have accepted the devotees for first initiation according to your recommendations, and their spiritual names are as follows:

Gene Johnson-Jvarajit dasa
Ron Brunch-Ramanotsuka dasa
Elaine Magyer-Titiksa devi dasi

You may send their beads to Rupanuga Maharaja for chanting. Instruct them carefully in avoiding the ten offenses, and make sure that they and everyone in the temple is chanting at least 16 rounds daily, without fail.
